Fulfill from Origin

American's can import packages valued at under $800, not for resale, duty free. Use our Assembly Move centers in China to fulfill directly to your consumers. You can avoid tariffs while following the same customized packaging procedures you're using with our US-based Assembly Move facilities. All packing operations are recorded to further ensure quality, accuracy, and accountability.

Value Added Origin

Assembly can help you qualify your goods under NAFTA at preferential duty rates and avoid new US tariffs by qualifying your components under new HTS codes and handling final assembly and packaging at US Assembly Move centers. Powered by Assembly Core, your global production is managed in a dashboard with centralized data collection including imagery, measurements, and quality controls.

Tariff Shifting

The 1300 product categories targeted by new US sanctions predominantly affect finished goods. By importing components with multiple uses, and reassembling on-shore in Assembly Move centers, you can avoid most of the new tariffs. It's not only legal, it's what the government wants you to do.

A Better Approach to Trade Research

Assembly's trade experts rely not just on internal expertise, but a network of partnered customs brokers and government contacts to ensure every practical option is explored.

No Surprises at the Border: We'll File for Advance Rulings

After a plan is devised, we'll test it by filing for preliminary adjudication. We'll prepare the paperwork and arrange for sample article delivery to the US CBP Information Exchange National Commodity Specialist for a ruling. Rulings are binding and ensure legal protection in the face of an ever changing political climate.

In-house experts. Never crowdsourced.

Your tasks are handled by a stable, professional, screened, and full-time employed workforce. This is not crowdsourcing or anonymous voting.

If you're a large company with subsidiaries in other countries, you might be able to get around it in some way.

If you're anything less, you need Assembly.

World class expertise meets modern convenience

Assembly shows up as a channel in your team's Slack. Anyone in your organization can talk to anyone in ours. No set up. No accounting. No time clock. Only getting things done.

Completely Legal

Assembly tariff mitigation services are completely legal. We employ the services of trade analysts, transportation lawyers, and government relations experts to ensure that supply chain proposals are compliant. In many cases, we can pre-clear filings with the relevant authorities to mitigate, or even eliminate, liability.

Put China to work for you.
