I am curious if anyone here knows the process of importing goods into the US. I have a contact in the Philippines to supply the goods I am selling. I know that typically a business would need to find a customs broker and purchase customs bonds and pay duties/taxes on the imported goods, however, I only plan on importing 5000 to 10000 dollars of product maybe twice to four times annually. Considering that this amount is rather marginal, am I exempt from certain steps in the process (such as needing a customs broker) or taxes?
Thanks for any help.
