4. Required Documents for Shipping

1. Supplier contact information: Including the supplier's name, address, telephone number, and other details, to facilitate us to collect goods and communicate with the supplier about cargo-related matters.

2. Packing List: Detailedly list the name, quantity, net weight, gross weight, volume, and packaging type (carton, wooden case, etc.) of each item in the shipment. The information must be true and consistent with the actual goods.

3. Proforma Invoice: Clearly indicate the commodity name, unit price, total amount, currency, trade terms (EXW, FOB, etc.), and HTS code (to facilitate customs classification and duty calculation). The invoice information must be accurate and complete.

4. Cargo photos: Provide clear photos of the goods and their packaging to help us understand the actual situation of the goods, formulate appropriate transportation plans, and complete relevant declaration materials.

5. Shipping time: Inform us of the expected time when the goods are ready for shipment, so that we can arrange the appropriate flight, book cargo space in advance, and avoid delays caused by insufficient cargo space during peak seasons.

6. Other special documents: For special commodities such as medicines, food, cosmetics, and medical devices, please provide relevant import licenses, health certificates, product qualification certificates, and other documents required by American Samoa's customs.

5. Pricing Standard

• Cargo weight and volume: Air freight pricing adopts the principle of "weight or volume whichever is larger", with the conversion standard of 1 cubic meter = 167 kilograms. For large and heavy goods, we will calculate the price based on the actual weight and volume, and provide preferential policies.

• Cargo type: General cargo has a more favorable price; special commodities that require special packaging, transportation, or additional documents (such as food, medicines) will have a corresponding adjustment in the freight rate due to the increase in transportation costs and risks.

• Shipping time: Urgent express services (such as DHL International Priority Express) have a higher price due to the need to occupy priority cargo space and transshipment resources; economy air freight is more cost-effective and suitable for goods with low time sensitivity.

• Service type: Door-to-door service includes cargo collection, consolidation, customs clearance, air transportation, and last-mile delivery, with a comprehensive price; port-to-port service (from Chinese airport to Pago Pago International Airport) has a relatively low base price, and you can choose according to your own needs.

2. Key Customs Clearance Reminders

• Duty Rates: American Samoa's import duty rates are based on the HTS code of the goods. Generally, general cargo such as clothing and household appliances has a duty rate of 5%-15%, while electronic products may enjoy preferential duty rates. Our team can help you query the corresponding duty rate and estimate the duty cost.

• Restricted Items: Alcohol, tobacco products, and certain agricultural products are restricted items in American Samoa. The import of these items requires special approval and may be subject to additional taxes. Please consult our customer service in advance for details.

• Inspection Probability: U.S. customs have strict inspection standards for imports. The inspection probability of goods to American Samoa is about 10%-15%. We will help you standardize the declaration materials and packaging to reduce the risk of inspection and ensure the smooth progress of customs clearance.

• Label Requirements: For food, cosmetics, and other commodities that come into direct contact with the human body, it is necessary to attach labels in English, clearly indicating the ingredients, production date, shelf life, origin, and other information, and complying with U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations.
