TitleIs bulk B2B purchasing handled differently from personal orders when bypassing U.S. customs duties?2025-04-23 20:58
Name Level 10

Yes — bulk B2B procurement follows different legal pathways than personal direct purchases.
There are two main structures we offer:


1. Intermediary Trade with Exporter Reassignment
In this model, the U.S. buyer places an order with a Korean company.
The Korean company then sources the product from China and exports it to the U.S.
The Korean business becomes the official exporter, while the product's country of origin remains unchanged (i.e., China).
There is no customs clearance in Korea — the goods are simply re-exported.


2. SKD Import + Assembly in Korea (Origin Change Possible)
We import semi-knocked-down (SKD) products and assemble them in Korea through a 3PL.
This process qualifies as substantial transformation, allowing the product to be legally labeled as Made in Korea,
and may be eligible for preferential duty treatment under the Korea–U.S. FTA.
