I'm not a lawyer, I created an account to ask a question, but I believe I can offer you some advice relating to importing. It sounds like you are quite new at it, so never again make the mistake of starting off by ordering $1000 worth of product. You need to test it first, try $100 and maybe $250 max, unless it is a larger product that costs more than $250. If that is the case avoid that until you know what you are doing. Also do not expect the product to get there in a week, unless you are shipping via plane. If you are, stop doing that. Plan ahead and wait for the boat to arrive, your shipping expenses will be much lower. Finally, before you try importing again do your due diligence and research the heck out of it. There is plenty of literature available online for you to read, as well as tons of useful books. Importing can be very rewarding, but if you are not careful you can make some very expensive mistakes. Good luck and sorry if I'm not supposed to provide answers like this, I just figured I could provide some value to the OP.
