Bulk Bags Sold Into Canada

When you’re looking for new bulk bags, you have many options available. Choosing the right size and material are just a few factors you have to consider. When you shop internationally, the process can become more complicated.

Transporting goods across international borders means you’ll have to pay customs duty when you re-enter the United States. In many cases, this can significantly raise the cost.

To make shopping easier for you, we’ll go over exactly what customs duty tax is and the benefits of finding a supplier that offers duty-free bulk bags.

What Is Duty Tax?

Customs duty acts as a tariff, or tax, on products that are transported across borders between countries. If you take a trip to another country and re-enter the United States, you may have to pay your customs duty on the items you purchased abroad.

Technically, even items that were just altered abroad are included. If your watch breaks and you pay to have it fixed while you’re abroad, it would fall under customs duty tax.

Like any other tax, such as property or income, customs duty is a percentage. The rate varies by the type of item, where you bought it and even where it was made. When you re-enter the United States, be specific on your declarations sheet. This is how you know what you owe for customs duty.

Customs duty taxes are meant to control the exchanging of goods between different countries in order to protect economies, jobs, workers and more. If customs duty didn’t exist, the American economy would likely suffer from the uncontrolled inflow of foreign goods. Customs duty also helps prevent restricted and prohibited items from entering the country.
