Task 23. Make a written translation of the text and think about
the title for it.
In practice, import duty is levied when imported goods first enter
the country. For example, in the United States, when a shipment
of goods reaches the border, the owner, purchaser or a Customs broker
(the importer of record) must file entry documents at the port of entry
and pay the estimated duties to Customs.
73
The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported good, the country of origin and several other factors. In the
United States, Customs uses the HTS, which has several hundred entries, to determine the correct rate. For consumers, the price they pay
includes duty costs. Therefore, all other things being equal, the same
good produced internally should cost less, giving local producers
an advantage.
It takes years for someone to learn how to classify an item to determine its correct duty rate. Every product requires specialized
knowledge to set a correct import duty. For instance, you might want
to know the rate of duty of a wool suit. A classification specialist will
need to know, does it have darts? Did the wool come from Israel
or another country that qualifies for duty-free treatment for specific
categories of its products? Where was the suit assembled, and does
it have any synthetic fibers in the lining?
