CBP detained my shipment from China. What to do before you send the factory’s letter.
The box is sitting. The notice is in your inbox. The factory is already writing you an English certificate.
That certificate is not the file. CBP wants a trail from the building: who made it, where, from what, who got paid. That trail is in China. Your broker cannot walk the floor from the port.
We are not US trade counsel. We get the China-side evidence. 30 minutes to name the next move.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We are not US trade counsel. We produce the China-side evidence your counsel and broker file. CBP and DOJ decide.
Good. They still need evidence from the factory. Book and loop them in.
Yes. The presumption is against you. Self-certifications fail. You need a supply-chain trail from the floor, often past Tier 1. Same call. Bring the notice.
Say the terminal and the entry number on the call. We do not need an LA office. We need the factory.
Same. Port holds the box. Proof is in China.
Same law. Say the port on the call. No fake local office.
That is not origin. We check substantial transformation on the floor.
If they open the door: days, not months. A live detention goes first.
No. No sourcing. No factory commission.
Book anyway. Same calendar — silent factory, deposit, quality, first import.
