Good Reference 2007-04-20
This is not the most interesting read in the world, but it contains good information. If you have an import business, this is a must have for your reference library.


A Basic Guide to Importing 2006-01-31
This is like the dictionary not good reading but a must have when you need to look up a word. Only a fraction of the material will be about your specific situation or product. Most if not all this info is available at the customs service website but is good to have it in one place.


Just got to customs website 2005-01-09
All of the information in this book is available through the US customs website. Don't waste your money.

Not at all written in a user friedly manner either, just lists all sorts of rules.


A little vague, but it's a MUST HAVE 2002-07-08
It is not a user-friendly book, but it supplies a lot of guidelines fot the beginning importer. I recommend you to buy it, but supplement it with specific info on the article(s) you intend to import (food, clothing, machinery, etc.).
