                                                Import and Export Law

                                                Goods and services that move across the borders of the U.S. are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection agency. The CBP estimates that it facilitates about $2 trillion in international trade per year. The organization’s involvement in import and export processes and relationships is designed to “protect the economy, the health and the safety of the American people.”

                                                About U.S. Imports

                                                In 2010, U.S. Customs and Border Protection processed approximately $2 trillion in imports.

                                                Duties apply to about 30% of imports to the U.S.

                                                U.S. Customs collected revenues of more than $32 billion for the nation in 2010.

                                                The agency reported that almost 99% of imports comply with U.S. regulations and trade laws.

                                                For goods imported into the U.S., China is the leading country of origin.
