Re: Anyone do a lot of importing, especially textiles?
Apparently, the issue isn't the fabric I sent from Taiwan to Canada and am now bringing into the US. I have all the docs on that.
Its the small part of the shipment which was fabric originally manufactured in Taiwan, but that I purchased from a distributor in Los Angeles. I had it direct shipped to Canada, but we cancelled the manufacturing contract to turn it into clothing. Now we want to re-import it into the US. They want the original invoices used to bring that fabric into the United States. Unfortunately, I'm two companies removed from the importer so its a bear to find.
Its not like I'm trying to get out of paying the duties on the stuff, but I'm being told that if I can't come up with these invoices I'll have to send everything back to Canada and pay some sweet penalties to boot.
Love bureaucracy.
