Each year we try and put out a quick checklist or importers guide to help our customers consider trade timing and when they need to work with suppliers, freight forwarders, customs brokers in order to ensure products are ready to ship for the holiday season.
This year we have put out this import procedures guide again (albeit a bit later than normal) and I posted it to my blog on Practicalecommerce.com. Go to the Trade Timing Guide.
Shipwire also has a bunch of import guides that you can check out.
Non US business Import into US

Shipwire has freight forwarding and customs brokerage partners to help you at each step of the product import timing so contact us for assistance.
