We would like to export our non-hazardous liquid cleaning products, alcohol free to the USA, as this is a liquid what paperwork/authority will I require?

Question

Do we need approval from the USA and if so which department and how do I obtain this?

Answer

Good morning Sue,

A good freight forwarder would be able to advise you on the paperwork you would need to provide to enable you to clear the goods in the US. Have you agreed terms of trade with your buyers as yet?

I would be more than happy to chat this through with you if you would like. I also have a contact name for a freight forwarder in your area that will be able to assist you if you need one.
.
It may also be worth speaking to your local UKTI or Institute for Export who may be able to provide assistance in this matter.

My contact number is 07803 376 971 and email [email protected]
Regards,

Paul
