I have been speaking with a shipper this morning who had an entire load rejected at the border because a package was opened by a customs official and the item was improperly declared. If the item is made in China/Hong Kong or 51% or more of the product is made in China/Kong, you are NOT to ship those items with carriers at this time. I believe that only DHL, FedEx and UPS are currently brokering Made in China items. In the case of the rejected load, the shipper (the small business who lied on the form) will be fined $50,000 as well as the costs for the load being rejected (hundreds of thousands of dollars). Please do not try and sneak things through by lowering the value or lying on the CoO form. The company I spoke with is furious over the rejected load, as they had spent 14 hours trying to clear it at the border and one small time t-shirt seller got the entire thing rejected. Load rejections will lead to suspensions and below standard metrics for other e-commerce sellers who have packages on that load as the trucks and planes continually get rejected and the packages don't receive their USPS acceptance scans.
