Default Importing goods from Alibaba and custom fees?

Do I need to pay custom fees for any products imported from abroad, specifically using Alibaba site to find suppliers for PC products and ship them to the US, are there any restrictions for importing Computers or Apparel and any custom issues?

You cannot just order something from overseas and send it to your house by Federal Express like when you buy at Amazon.First you need to find out if the things you are buying are LEGAL or you will be arrested.For example, guns are LEGAL in the United States of America but if you send one to Mexico you go to Jail.IMacs are LEGAL in the United States of America but if you send one to Iran you go to Jail.Cuban Cigars are LEGAL in Cuba but if you send one to the United States of America you go to Jail.Those laws are complex and it would be best for you to use a company to import whatever you are importing to the United States of America.Apparel is a VERY RESTRICTED industry because of piracy, slavery and child labor and if you import a shirt from a country that was made by slaves in the United States of America you could end up in jail.There are countries where exports of apparel to the United States of America are banned.You really need to contact the Embassy of the Country where you are buying before you actually send anything to the US.Once you are sure the thing you are buying is LEGAL in the United States of America the next step is to find out how much are you paying in TAXES.Some things do pay taxes and some things don't pay taxes.I suggest you to hire an importer and you will be fine.Top 3 Answerer in Business & Finance.
