The first sale rule is a proven strategy for reducing the impact of import tariffs, including those imposed under Sections 201, 232, and 301. The first sale rule allows U.S. importers to pay customs duties on the lower-priced sale from the manufacturer to a middleman or vendor in qualifying multi-tiered transactions, rather than on the higher-priced sale from the vendor to the importer.
-
Proven Expertise: Our team has deep experience in first sale, customs valuation, and international trade law.
-
Cost Savings: We have successfully implemented first sale programs for a wide range of clients, helping them save millions of dollars in import duties.
