Importing
You do not need a license to act as an importer. However, some items require a license or permit from various government agencies in order to be imported. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for ensuring that all goods entering and exiting the United States do so in accordance with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Their publication, Importing into the United States, explains the process of importing goods into the U.S., including informed compliance, invoices, duty assessments, classification and value, marking requirements, etc.(21)
