Demystifying the Import Process
Buying direct from India allows US distributors to bypass the middleman markup. However, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has strict rules. Here is your roadmap:
1. The Paperwork
You need a Customs Bond (Continuous Bond is best for frequent importers) and you must file the ISF (10+2) at least 24 hours before the ship leaves the Indian port. Ruvello's logistics team handles the data for this filing to prevent the $5,000 penalty.
2. Tariffs & HTS Codes
Granite typically falls under HTS 6802.93. Depending on trade relations, duties may vary. We provide precise Certificates of Origin to ensure you pay the correct (and lowest possible) duty rate.
3. Door-to-Door Delivery
Don't have a truck? No problem. We can quote on DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms, meaning we handle the ocean freight, customs clearance, and trucking directly to your warehouse in Texas, New Jersey, or Florida.
