Our Products
In The Case Of A Customs Hold
a. You will typically be required to communicate directly with your country's Customs, or contact them via your courier company.
b. If additional documents are required, USAGC will do our utmost to provide the documents to you and support the goods clearance.
c. Your country's Customs can hold goods pending a decision for as long as they like.
d. The final decision about assessing, valuing, taxing, releasing/refusing, seizing the goods is entirely down to Customs. In some cases no reasons are provided, and in many countries the importer has no right of appeal. In most countries the Customs are hard to communicate with and lack basic public information or accessible staff contact.
e. In the vast majority of cases, the goods are released after a delay ranging from 1 day to 6 months... the reason for the delay is usually unknown, and the length of the delay is unfortunately beyond anyone's control.
f. If the goods are refused entry, they will either be destroyed with no compensation, or turned back so the courier ships them back to USAGC.
Examples of situations where USAGC will compensate you
a. If internationally recognized documents such as CE / FCC / Sisvel could not be supplied fast enough by USAGC, and Customs refused entry to the goods.
b. If you made a valid request for customization of the shipping paperwork, and we agreed to follow your instructions but failed to do so.
c. or impounded by China Exit Customs rather than your own country's Customs.
d. If a Customs inquiry reveals a valid IPR issue with the products and according to USAGC’s opinion this inquiry is correct. USAGC never knowingly markets/sells counterfeit products or any products/packaging infringing intellectual property of any parties.
Examples of situations where you are not entitled to a refund from USAGC
a. If you refused to accept the goods.
b. If the goods could not clear due to import restrictions that are specific to your own country, e.g. FDA approval of products (USA), country-specific certification, restricted categories of goods, quotas, so-called anti-dumping enforcement etc.
c. If you refused to accept applicable taxes or other charges associated with the import procedure.
d. If you refused to pay additional charges or fines resulting from Customs' re-assessment of the classification or value of the goods.
e. If you were unable to accept the goods due to laws in your country such as a lack of an import license.
f. If Customs refused entry to your goods because you failed to provide paperwork or other information in a timely manner, OR provided incorrect paperwork or information.
g. If Customs refused entry to your goods due to a supposed IPR (Intellectual Property Right) issue, but in our opinion this is unsubstantiated.
h. If Customs are still holding the goods after a period of at least 6 weeks and after our best efforts we have no further detail about the reason for the hold or any probable resolution to the case.
i. If clearance failed due to lack of licenses / documents / certificates which are specific to your country and USAGC deems it beyond the reasonable scope of our Shipping Team to provide these documents in the absence of any pre-shipment communication from you.
j. If Customs refused entry to your goods or levied increased taxes, charges, or fines associated with the classification or declared value of the goods on the shipping paperwork. We always inform you in advance about the declaration of your goods, and in the cases of larger shipments you have to agree to the declaration value explicitly, so this is deemed to be totally your responsibility.
k. If we previously warned you about a high possibility of increased risk of delivery exceptions due to our experience of shipping to your country, for whatever reason, but you explicitly agreed to go ahead with the order.
Compensation
a. "Compensation" refers to full or partial refund/credit of the amount you paid for the goods and /or shipping (depending on the situation). USAGC will absolutely not offer any further compensation or accept any liability in any other regard.
b. We reserve the sole right to evaluate the reason for a Customs exception. We will do this openly based on our communications with the Courier, your country's Customs, and any evidence you have provided us of your own communications with the Courier and Customs.
c. If the goods are returned to China, but we deem that you were liable for the failed delivery not us, we may be able to compensate partially, based on any remaining credit after return delivery fees, China import taxes, and restocking fees.
d. If the goods are impounded, held indefinitely, destroyed, or confiscated by Customs, and according to the policy above this is not USAGC’s responsibility (including where the actual reason for the exception was never clarified), you will not receive compensation of any kind.
Miscellaneous
USAGC Organization shall have the right to immediately terminate your access to or
use of the Services in the event of any activities which are in breach of this agreement
