This could lead to refusals or shipping delays if the descriptions provided do not meet the required standards.** **Why is this important ? Inaccurate or vague descriptions of your goods could cause significant delays. It is therefore crucial to provide detailed and accurate information about your shipments, specifying the composition and use of the items.** **For example, use terms like “plastic toys for children” instead of “toys” or “women’s dresses made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester” instead of “clothing.”** **Need assistance ? For any questions or support regarding this new regulation, our team at Thema Trans is at your disposal to assist you and help you prepare your compliant shipping documents.** ## **Share this post** **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.thematrans.com/en/thematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation/) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=THEMATRANS+NEWS+%26%238211%3B+Important+%2F+New+U.S.+Customs+Regulation&url=https://www.thematrans.com/en/thematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation/) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.thematrans.com/en/thematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation/&title=THEMATRANS+NEWS+%26%238211%3B+Important+%2F+New+U.S.+Customs+Regulation) [Google +](https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.thematrans.com/en/thematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation/) [Email](mailto:?subject=THEMATRANS+NEWS+%26%238211%3B+Important+%2F+New+U.S.+Customs+Regulation&body=https://www.thematrans.com/en/thematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation/)** 28 octobre 2024 [Marina Weber](https://www.thematrans.com/en/blog/author/marina-weber) [![fb-icon](https://24400165.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24400165/raw_assets/public/agileops/agileops-consulting-theme/images/icons/facebook.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thematrans.com%2Fen%2Fblog%2Fthematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![twitter-icon](https://24400165.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24400165/raw_assets/public/agileops/agileops-consulting-theme/images/icons/twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thematrans.com%2Fen%2Fblog%2Fthematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter) [![linkedin-icon](https://24400165.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24400165/raw_assets/public/agileops/agileops-consulting-theme/images/icons/linkedin.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thematrans.com%2Fen%2Fblog%2Fthematrans-news-important-new-u-s-customs-regulation%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![](https://www.thematrans.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/news1-1140x445-3.jpg?width=352&height=250&name=news1-1140x445-3.jpg)](https://www.thematrans.com/en/blog/new-customs-measures-2022?hsLang=en) 17 janvier 2022 [Marina Weber](https://www.thematrans.com/en/blog/new-customs-measures-2022?hsLang=en) [New Customs Measures 2022](https://www.thematrans.com/en/blog/new-customs-measures-2022?hsLang=en) The aftermath of Brexit and the Harmonized System As the Brexit has been in effect for 1 year now, new measures have been implemented as of January 1, 2022.
