Arrival of Goods
Imported goods may not legally enter U.S. commerce until the shipment has arrived within the
port of entry and Customs has authorized delivery of the merchandise. This is normally
accomplished by filing the appropriate documents, either by the importer or by the importer's
agent. To expedite this process, Customs entry papers may be presented before the merchandise
arrives, but entry will not take place until the merchandise arrives within the port limits.
The Customs Service does not notify the importer of the arrival of the shipment. The carrier
of the goods usually makes notification of arrival. Arrangements should be made to ensure that
the importer or their agent is informed immediately of arrival so that the entry can be filed and
delays in obtaining the goods avoided.
The Customs Service defines "entry" not merely as the arrival of goods at a port, but as the
process of presenting documentation for clearing goods through Customs. Imported merchandise
not entered through Customs in a timely manner (within 15 calendar days of arrival) is sent by
Customs to a general order warehouse to be held as unclaimed. The importer is responsible for
paying storage charges while unclaimed merchandise is held at the warehouse. If it remains
unclaimed at the end of six months, the merchandise is sold at auction.

Classification determines how much duty will be collected. Classification is more than simply
looking up an item in an index. It is a very complicated process requiring the application of the
General Rules of Interpretation; the section, chapter and subheading notes; and the Explanatory
Notes. The importer is responsible for properly classifying his merchandise before entry. If he is
not sure how to properly classify an item, he can submit a request, in writing, for a binding
classification ruling to the National Commodity Specialist Division, U.S. Customs, Attn:
Classification Ruling Requests, New York, NY 10048. The rulings will be binding at all ports of
entry unless revoked by the Headquarters' Office of Regulations and Rulings. If an importer is
not satisfied with the binding ruling received from New York, he or she can appeal it to the
Headquarters' Office of Regulations and Rulings, Washington, DC 20229. The Customs Service
will not issue binding rulings in response to oral requests.

Girl and boy sharing bedroom decorating advice?
Sierra L
My two kids. are 7 year olds and will be sharing a room. One a girl and one a boy. What are some cute bedroom sets that will go together well or were meant to be together, that will look great in their room.
Answer
I wouldn't go with a theme, I would make it colorful, like paint the walls and have neutral curtains and light fixtures but I would be sure that they each had a shelf or some kind of storage to call their own that they can have their things on. I would keep the bedspreads the same color but put pillows and little touches that are different on the beds. For example, a red ladybug pillow for her and a red car pillow for him. The ideas are endless in my head right now. I'm sure you'll come up with something great and they'll love it. Take care.
