In this response, we explore the topic of taxes and fees associated with importing cars into the United States. We discuss the import duty, which is a tax imposed on imported goods, as well as the process of calculating the duty owed. We also cover additional fees such as the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and the Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF), which are assessed by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on most imports, including vehicles. Furthermore, we highlight other potential costs that may arise during the import process, such as port handling charges, customs broker fees, storage fees, and transportation costs. We also touch upon the importance of filing an Importer Security Filing (ISF) and obtaining a customs bond. Finally, we emphasize the benefits of working with a customs broker to facilitate the customs clearance process and ensure a successful import.
