Toys represent a booming market in the U.S., but so does toy regulation.
Importers looking to bring toys into the United States face one of the strictest regulatory environments in the world, especially when it comes to safety. From mandatory testing to age-specific labeling, even minor oversights can result in shipment delays, costly fines, or product recalls. In this guide, we walk you through the essential steps to ensure your toys meet U.S. standards and clear customs without surprises.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal agency responsible for regulating imported toys. It ensures that any item intended for children under 12 complies with safety standards covering:
Even novelty or promotional items labeled “not for children” may still be classified as toys by the CPSC if they are likely to appeal to children.
Every toy intended for children must be tested by a CPSC-accepted laboratory before it can be legally sold or distributed in the U.S. This applies even if the toys are imported in small quantities or for online sales.
Common testing requirements include:
Once testing is complete, the importer must issue a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) that confirms compliance.
If you’re not sure which documents you’ll need to provide, our Key Documents for Importing Goods into the USA breaks it down.
Toys must include several pieces of mandatory information, both on the product (or packaging) and in accompanying documentation. Key elements include:
All labels must be permanent and legible. For online listings, these warnings must also be displayed on the product page.
Toy importing isn’t just about testing and labeling; it’s also about attention to detail. Many importers run into issues because they:

Selling toys through Amazon, Etsy, or your site? You’ll need to:
Inconsistent information between packaging and online listings can trigger removals from marketplaces or shipments being flagged by U.S. Customs.
Even with all the prep work, navigating customs on your own can be risky. A broker will help:

Importing toys into the U.S. is more than just shipping boxes—it’s about meeting one of the strictest consumer safety standards in the world. By following the right steps—testing, labeling, certifying, and planning—you can build a business that is safe, compliant, and ready to scale.
Clearit USA works with importers, big and small, to ensure toys meet all CPSC, CBP, and customs requirements. From testing documentation to tariff classification, we’re here to make your import process smoother.
When importing goods into the United States, it’s not only the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that importers need to consider. Several government agencies have oversight over imports depending on the type of product, its origin, and its intended use. Failing to comply with their regulations can result in costly delays, product seizures, fines, or worse, legal consequences.
This guide breaks down the key U.S. agencies involved in import compliance, what they regulate, and how to stay on the right side of the law as a U.S. importer.
CBP is the lead federal agency overseeing the import of Basic Importing and Exporting | U.S. Customs and Border Protection goods into the United States. It enforces customs laws, collects duties and tariffs, and ensures compliance with trade regulations.
If you’re importing food, beverages, cosmetics, medical devices, or drugs, the FDA has jurisdiction. Products must meet strict safety, labeling, and ingredient regulations.
Failure to comply with FDA guidelines can lead to automatic detentions, especially for food and supplements. Importers often assume exemptions for small packages, but even low-value shipments may not be exempt.
The USDA regulates the import of agricultural products, including plants, animals, seeds, and certain food items. They work to prevent pests and diseases from entering the U.S. agricultural ecosystem.
For instance, untreated wooden crates may be detained or destroyed if they fail to meet USDA import standards.
The EPA regulates imports that may impact the environment or public health—think chemicals, vehicles, engines, and pesticides.
Importers of solar panels and energy equipment should be aware of both EPA efficiency and environmental standards, and applicable solar tariffs, which may significantly affect overall import costs
Importing items derived from wildlife or endangered species, such as exotic leather goods or coral jewellery? FWS is the governing body.
BIS oversees exports and imports related to national security and dual-use goods, including some electronics, software, and defence-related equipment.
If you import alcoholic beverages or tobacco, TTB governs labelling, licensing, and excise taxes.
If you’re importing telecommunication devices, electronics, or anything with a transmitter, you’ll need to ensure they meet FCC standards.
If your business lacks a dedicated trade compliance team, keeping up with compliance can be overwhelming. However, there are smart strategies you can adopt to stay competitive:
Importing into the U.S. involves far more than dealing with CBP alone. The compliance web is wide, and getting it wrong can lead to penalties, lost products, and higher costs.
Understanding which agencies regulate your goods and what they expect sets you up for smoother shipments and fewer surprises.

Importing goods into the U.S. can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re a small business owner managing everything on your own. No trade team. No import department. Just you, your ideas, and your hustle.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need a full trade team to import smartly. With the right steps and a bit of expert help, you can stay compliant, avoid costly mistakes, and even save money along the way.
Here’s how small businesses can import like the big players without the big team.
Let’s start with the challenges. Small businesses face a few common hurdles when importing:
All of these can cost you time and money. But knowing how to manage them is half the battle.
Many small businesses mistakenly believe customs brokers are only for large corporations. But that’s far from the truth.
A customs broker is your behind-the-scenes guide. They handle the hard stuff—like tariff classification, paperwork, and compliance. You stay focused on running your business.
Benefits of hiring a broker like Clearit USA:
For more insights, explore our guide on hidden costs in importing.
Every imported product has a Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code. That code decides how much duty you’ll pay.
Get it wrong, and you could:
Clearit USA can assist with accurate classification. While the U.S. International Trade Commission’s HTS tool is available, it can be difficult to navigate without expert guidance.
Tariffs change often, especially with global tensions and trade negotiations.
Small businesses were particularly impacted during recent U.S.-China and U.S.-Canada trade disputes, often without prior notice. Suddenly, their costs jumped overnight.
What to do:
The biggest mistake new importers make? Only budgeting for the product itself.
Here are the real costs to consider:
When you plan for all of these upfront, your margins won’t suffer later.
Incoterms® are international trade terms. They decide who pays for what during shipping.
Pick the wrong one, and you might end up with surprise costs at the port.
Common Incoterms® small businesses use:
Choosing the right Incoterm® can help you stay in control and avoid hidden charges.
Did you know you might be eligible for duty drawbacks?
If your imported goods are returned, destroyed, or re-exported, you may be able to claim a tariff refund.
Most small businesses don’t know this and leave money on the table.
Customs compliance isn’t optional. Fines, delays, or even seizures can happen if:
A customs broker ensures your shipments stay compliant. It’s not just about avoiding penalties; it’s about staying in business.
Importing is more than just buying and shipping. You need a strong supply chain.
What to look for in partners:
Working with reliable freight forwarders, suppliers, and customs brokers can reduce surprises and speed up delivery times.
Global trade moves quickly. A tariff today could be gone tomorrow. New paperwork rules can appear overnight.

Import tariffs shape how companies source goods and determine pricing in the U.S. They act like a tax on products from abroad. In 2025, U.S. policymakers rolled out new duties on cars, metals, electronics, and everyday items. These moves aim to protect local industries and secure critical supply chains. But they also raise costs, create red tape, and force businesses to rethink their strategies.
This guide will help you:
Whether you run a manufacturing plant, oversee procurement, or lead a retail brand, these insights will keep you ahead of the curve. Let’s start with a quick look at how U.S. tariff policy has evolved over the centuries.
Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. When a product crosses a border, a tariff makes it more expensive than a similar domestic item. Countries use tariffs to:
Most people notice tariffs at the store checkout as higher prices. But behind the scenes, companies bear the brunt. They must factor duties into budgets, renegotiate contracts, and sometimes pass costs on to customers.
In the late 1700s, the U.S. government had no income tax. To fund the new republic, lawmakers leaned on import duties. Early tariffs were:
By the mid-1800s, tariffs funded the federal budget and shaped economic policy. They helped pay for roads, canals, and later railroads. Debates over tariff levels even contributed to the tensions leading up to the Civil War.
World War I and World War II showed the downsides of isolation. In the 1930s, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff raised duties on thousands of items. Other countries retaliated, deepening the Great Depression. After World War II, the U.S. led efforts to lower global barriers:
By the late 20th century, average U.S. applied tariffs on industrial goods fell to a few percent. Free-trade pacts like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) further removed duties on many products between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
After decades of mostly falling duties, the U.S. returned to using tariffs as a policy weapon:
Under national-security rules (Section 232), the government imposed 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum. Early exemptions for allies later expired.
Using a different law (Section 301), the U.S. slapped duties on hundreds of billions in Chinese goods. These include electronics, furniture, machinery, and more.
In 2019, the administration launched probes into auto imports for national security concerns. Those investigations set the stage for the big auto duties in 2025.
These moves marked a shift — tariffs were no longer emergency tools but part of a long-term trade strategy. Companies had to adapt quickly or face steep penalties.
In 2025, the U.S. doubled down on tariffs to support key policy goals:
Instead of blanket duties, policymakers targeted specific sectors. The aim was less about broad protectionism and more about strategic leverage. The result? A complex patchwork of new rules that importers must navigate.
In April 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on passenger vehicles and light trucks. A month later, auto parts also faced the same rate. The goals were to:
Early in 2025, aluminum duties rose from 10% to 25%, matching steel’s long-standing rate. These moves:
The government opened a new probe into semiconductor imports under trade-law authorities. While existing duties on Chinese electronics remain, this investigation could:
A broad “all-imports” tariff hit products previously without duties. It covers:
New levies target foreign-built ships, port cranes, and cargo handlers. The goal:
Most farm products remain duty-free. But some inputs face higher costs:
Meanwhile, export markets remain uncertain as trade partners consider retaliation. Farmers and food processors are watching both sides of the border closely.
Across industries, companies report similar challenges:
Duties on parts, raw materials, and finished goods push up production expenses.
To avoid duties, businesses look for domestic or nearshore suppliers.
New rules require updated filings, code checks, and staff training.
Some firms absorb higher costs to keep their market share. Others pass them on, risking lower demand.
A recent survey of import managers found that over half are exploring alternative sourcing or asking for duty relief to protect margins.
Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the impact of new duties:
Make sure your goods use the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes. Misclassification can trigger higher duties and audits.
Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) and bonded warehouses let you delay duty payments until goods leave the facility or are sold.
Many items qualify for zero duties under U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) or other treaties. Review your supply chain for eligible products.
If no U.S. alternative exists, you may petition for an exclusion. Gather clear evidence of need and follow the U.S. Customs process.
Lock in pricing and delivery terms with suppliers. Some may offer tariff-inclusive contracts to share the risk. Tariff policies change quickly. Work with a customs broker to get real-time updates and expert guidance.
Tariffs in 2025 reflect a strategic shift in U.S. trade policy. They protect key industries and push for more onshore production. At the same time, they raise costs and complicate global supply chains. Your business needs to adapt:

On April 21, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce finalized new tariffs on solar panels and components imported from Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The decision stems from findings that certain Chinese companies circumvent existing tariffs using factories in these countries. Here’s what this means for importers and solar developers across the U.S.
The reason? According to the U.S. Commerce Department, some Chinese companies have circumvented existing tariffs by routing products through Southeast Asia. Let’s break down what this means and what importers like you can do about it.
The U.S. had already imposed taxes on Chinese solar panel makers when they sold products to American buyers. To avoid those tariffs, the companies began using factories in Southeast Asia. However, the same Chinese companies own or control many of those factories.
So, the U.S. viewed this as a circumvention of existing trade duties and started an investigation.
Major American solar manufacturers like Hanwha Qcells and First Solar said this hurt their business. They argued that cheap panels from Southeast Asia were driving prices down and making them unable to compete.
After looking into it, the U.S. decided to apply new tariffs to imports from those countries, especially companies that didn’t cooperate with the investigation.
Here is the breakdown of tariff rates for different countries:
The message is clear: cooperation = lower penalties, while companies that didn’t help the investigation got hit hard.
These tariffs will likely increase costs if you’re importing solar panels or planning a solar project.
Industry experts say prices may rise by $0.08–$0.12 per watt. A typical commercial project (100 kW) could translate into an additional $8,000–$12,000 in costs per project.
Many developers are now rethinking their timelines or budgets. Some customers are holding off because of the new prices.
To avoid tariffs, some manufacturers are moving operations to countries like Indonesia or Laos, which aren’t yet affected by these new rules.
Here are five smart steps importers can take to reduce the impact:
If you don’t classify your goods under the correct HTS code (8541.40.6030 for solar cells), you could end up overpaying.
Consider using Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) or bonded warehouses to delay paying duties until you’re ready to sell or use the products.
The government may open a window to ask for exemptions. You can apply for relief if your products are unique or not readily available elsewhere.
Panels from the U.S. or countries not hit with tariffs may cost more upfront, but they could save you on duties.
Negotiate pricing terms now—some suppliers may offer fixed rates to support long-term planning during this volatile period.
We know these changes are stressful. That’s why we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

On April 9, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on most of his proposed international tariffs. This decision followed a period of heightened market tension and widespread calls from trading partners for renewed negotiations. While the pause brings temporary relief for U.S. importers, it also creates a narrow window of opportunity to reassess strategies and prepare for future changes in the trade environment.
This article explains what the tariff pause means for U.S. businesses, what steps importers should consider now, and how to protect your bottom line during these uncertain times.
The new policy reduces tariffs to a 10% baseline for most countries. However, China remains an exception, with tariffs hitting 125%. Policymakers introduced the move to ease market tensions and allow time for negotiations. Investors need to note that:
The 90-day pause is more than just a break in tariff increases—it is a chance for importers to adjust and prepare. During this time, businesses can:
Identify which components or raw materials come from countries affected by potential future tariff hikes.
Find suppliers in countries with better trade terms or lower tariffs. This may include diversifying your supplier base to reduce risk.
Consider increasing inventory levels of high-demand items that may become more expensive once the U.S. reimposes higher tariffs.
Join industry groups or business councils that lobby for fair trade practices. Stay engaged with policy updates that can affect your importing strategy.
Analyze how upcoming tariff adjustments could affect your cost structure and revise pricing strategies if needed.
While the pause is temporary, strategic planning now can lead to long-term savings and stability. Some key actions include:
Consider using Foreign Trade Zones, bonded warehouses, or duty drawback programs to reduce duty costs.
Double-check that you’ve correctly classified your products under the appropriate tariff codes. Misclassification can result in unnecessary duties and delays.
Keep a close eye on announcements from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the Department of Commerce. Being informed can help you react promptly to any changes.
Work with customs brokers, like Clearit USA, who can help you navigate regulatory complexities and ensure smooth clearance for your goods.
Build flexibility into your supply chain to quickly shift suppliers or adjust transportation routes if tariffs change.
The tariff pause affects more than individual import costs; it has broader implications for North American supply chains. U.S. companies that source goods from Canada and Mexico have built their processes around predictable duty rates. The following points cover these impacts:
As the tariff pause window remains open, importers should:
By taking these practical steps, businesses can not only save on costs but also improve long-term resilience in the face of policy changes.
The current 90-day tariff pause is a crucial period for U.S. importers. While it provides temporary relief from steep duties, it also signals uncertainty ahead. Importers must use this window to review supply chains, adjust sourcing strategies, and engage with regulatory updates. Taking proactive measures now will help ensure that when tariffs eventually change, your business is well-prepared.

In April 2025, the U.S. government introduced a sweeping 104% tariff on a range of goods imported from China. This policy marks a significant shift for importers. This blog explains what the tariff means, how it affects your business, and what you can do about it.
Let’s break it down in this article.
A tariff is a tax you pay when you bring products into the country. This new tariff is 104%. That means if your goods cost $10,000, you’ll now pay an extra $10,400 in taxes. That’s more than the product’s original cost—a major financial burden for importers.
This tariff targets products made in China, including electronics and car parts. The goal is to protect U.S. industries and reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing.
This tariff is part of a larger trade strategy. U.S. leaders believe China has created unfair market conditions and want to support local factories and jobs. This 104% tariff aims to make Chinese goods less attractive in the American market.
But that comes with a cost, especially for businesses like yours.
If you import from China, everything changes. Here’s how your business may feel the impact:
You’ll pay more at the border. This increase can hurt your profit margins or force you to raise prices.
You may need to switch suppliers. That takes time, effort, and money.
Businesses sourcing from tariff-free regions may offer lower prices, gaining an advantage over companies importing from China.
High tariffs often bring stricter documentation rules. Customs officials will closely examine your shipments, product origin, and classification.
The full list includes many goods. Here are some major categories:
You must review your import plan if your products fall into these categories.
Yes, but they’re limited. Some companies have requested exclusions or waivers, especially for goods not made in the U.S. However, the exclusion process is often lengthy and uncertain, with no assurance of approval.
With higher duties come stricter inspections. Customs will pay more attention to how you classify your goods and what country they’re coming from. Mistakes in documentation can result in:
To stay compliant:
You’re not stuck. Here are the steps you can take to adapt and stay ahead:
Make sure you’re using the correct HTS code. A small error in classification can cost you thousands in extra duties.
If your product is only assembled in China but uses parts from other countries, you might reduce the duty with a proper origin review.
Now is a good time to explore manufacturers in countries like Mexico, Vietnam, or India.
Let’s be honest—tariff codes, country-of-origin rules, and customs forms can be overwhelming. Clearit USA helps importers like you file correctly, stay compliant, and avoid surprises.
When you work with Clearit USA, you get expert support for every shipment:
We assign the correct HTS codes and review for duty reduction opportunities.
We help you explore legal ways to lower or defer duties.
Our team responds quickly and keeps your shipments moving.
We explain every step in plain English.
We guide you through the process, whether this is your first import or your thousandth.
This tariff may not last forever. Future policy changes could lower or remove it. But for now, it’s here—and it’s real. If you import from China, you need to act now.
Staying informed is smart. Having a customs expert by your side is even smarter.
The 104% tariff on Chinese goods is a major shift. It raises your costs, slows your supply chain, and changes how you do business. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
You don’t have to navigate these changes alone. If you’re uncertain how this tariff impacts your products, contact Clearit USA for expert guidance and stress-free compliance.
Recent shifts in U.S. trade policies are reshaping international trade, directly impacting how goods move across borders. Customs brokers play a pivotal role in helping businesses navigate these evolving regulations and maintain smooth operations.
This article will explore what these trade policy changes mean for customs brokerage and how they affect importers and exporters. We will highlight the most significant recent changes to provide a clearer picture.
U.S. trade policies cover rules about tariffs, trade agreements, and customs regulations. When the government changes these rules, importing and exporting goods can be complicated—or sometimes more uncomplicated. For example, new tariffs may increase the cost of specific products, while changes in trade agreements might impact customs clearance times.
Here are a few key examples of recent U.S. trade policy changes:
Despite ongoing trade negotiations, tariffs from the U.S.-China trade war remain effective, particularly on electronics, machinery, and textiles. These tariffs continue to increase importers’ costs, prompting businesses to seek alternative sourcing options.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) now includes tighter labor and environmental standards rules, impacting how goods are classified and processed at the border.
Explore our latest insights on USMCA updates.
New rules for importing specific high-tech components aim to protect national security and promote domestic production. These changes are driven by global politics and economic goals, creating a dynamic trade environment.
Customs brokers are experts who help companies move their goods across borders safely and legally. They handle paperwork, ensure compliance with rules, and help shipments clear customs without delays. When trade policies change, customs brokers must adjust their practices quickly.
Some key impacts include:

The logistics industry faces significant changes as the U.S. transitions to a new administration in January 2025. Proposed trade policies, including significant tariffs and stricter customs regulations, are poised to disrupt global supply chains. Logistics service providers (LSPs)—freight forwarders, customs brokers, and 3PLs—will need to adapt quickly to meet these new challenges and continue delivering value to their clients.
New tariffs of up to 100% on imports from China and 10–20% on other goods are designed to prioritize domestic manufacturing. While the full details remain unclear, businesses are already rushing to import goods ahead of potential cost increases. This trend may be followed by a drop in freight volumes, creating volatility in shipping demand and pricing.
Stricter customs documentation and enhanced enforcement will place greater pressure on LSPs. Staying compliant will require updated systems, detailed reporting, and an investment in training to avoid costly delays and penalties.
Companies may diversify sourcing, alter shipping routes, and increase demand for domestic logistics solutions. Supply chains will need to be more agile to respond to sudden policy changes. Warehousing demand is also expected to rise as businesses stockpile goods to offset tariff impacts.
Despite the challenges, there are opportunities to create a competitive edge. LSPs can distinguish themselves by offering strategic guidance, embracing technology, and delivering flexible solutions. By positioning as a trusted partner, LSPs can strengthen relationships and provide added value during times of uncertainty.
Work closely with carriers, suppliers, and clients to address disruptions. Securing reliable capacity and diversifying sourcing will be critical to mitigating risks. Proactively communicating tariff impacts to clients will help build trust and prepare them for the changes ahead.
Real-time visibility tools will be essential for tracking shipments, anticipating delays, and identifying cost-saving opportunities. Investing in technology can yield actionable insights, improving decision-making for both LSPs and their clients.
With tariff-related costs driving up shipping expenses, LSPs may need to adjust pricing structures. Transparent communication about rate changes is key. Additionally, consider introducing new services such as warehousing or consulting on cost mitigation strategies.
Update logistics software to reflect new regulatory requirements. Train teams on updated customs processes and ensure systems are equipped to handle increased compliance demands. Collaborate with legal and regulatory experts to stay ahead of policy shifts.
As trade policies evolve, preparation and adaptability will be critical for navigating the uncertainties of 2025. By focusing on strengthening relationships, leveraging technology, and staying proactive on compliance, LSPs can turn potential disruptions into opportunities for growth and innovation. The logistics industry is resilient, and those who take action now will be best positioned to thrive in the years ahead.
