Importing Furniture

• If you purchase furniture from abroad and have it shipped back to the United States, you will be required to fill out an Informal Entry CBP Form 3461.
• Additional duties may be imposed if the imported furniture is determined to be sold at prices below fair market value or if there are subsidies involved.

Customs Bond

• When importing furniture, you may need to obtain a customs bond.
• The cost of a customs bond is calculated based on the amount of taxes and fees applied to the imported products.

Duty-Free Items

• Certain household effects, including furniture, carpets, paintings, tableware, stereos, linens, and similar items, may be conditionally included and considered duty-free.

Sales and Use Tax

• Depending on your location, you may be required to collect and remit sales and use tax on the furniture you sell.
• It is important to understand the specific tax regulations in your jurisdiction and comply with the necessary reporting and payment requirements.
