Importers achieve cost savings through the First Sale rule!

The First Sale rule is a little-known provision in U.S. customs law that can offer significant cost savings to importers. Under this rule, an importer can use the price of the first sale – the price at which the manufacturer sells the goods to an intermediary or reseller – rather than the price of the final sale to the U.S. buyer, to determine the customs value of the imported goods.

By using the First Sale rule, importers can significantly reduce their customs duties, taxes, and other fees, resulting in substantial cost savings. However, there are specific requirements that importers must meet to qualify for this provision, including providing documentation that proves the existence and terms of the first sale.

For many importers, the First Sale rule can be a valuable tool to help reduce costs and improve profitability. However, navigating the complexities of U.S. customs law can be challenging. It is essential to work with experienced logistics partners who understand the requirements and can help importers leverage the benefits of the First Sale rule effectively.
