The Complexities of Importing into Puerto Rico
In recent years, Puerto Rico has become a land of Tech opportunities thanks to a renaissance in their Art, Science, and Technology programs centered around innovation. This is due to efforts to revitalize the economy. With an economy that’s hinged on the import and export of goods, it’s no surprise that they have developed a relatively advanced customs and compliance system. As an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, many trade legislations hinge on American relationships. This extends to goods of Chinese origin. Therefore, the same additional tax and duties charges imposed by the US also apply when shipping Chinese goods to Puerto Rico.
