Electronics direct from Shenzhen factories, with the paperwork the US actually asks for.
Portable power stations, home battery storage, smart home devices, IP cameras, smartwatches and chargers, made by the factories that build them for global brands. We check the certificates against US rules before you pay, and inspect every order before it ships.
The short answer: We source electronics direct from Shenzhen factories for US importers. Every radio product needs FCC equipment authorization, and products from FCC Covered List companies such as Hikvision and Dahua cannot be authorized, so we do not supply them for the US. Duty is quoted at the rates in force when you order.
The cheapest part of importing electronics is the product. The expensive part is the paperwork you did not check.
Electronics fail at the border, not in the factory: a missing certificate, a test report for a different model, a battery shipped without its transport test, a radio device without the approval your market needs. Each one can mean a held shipment, a relabelling job or stock you cannot legally sell.
We start from the rules where you sell. Before a deposit is paid we check that the factory's certificates and test reports cover the exact model for the US, then we inspect the goods before they leave Shenzhen.

What applies when you bring shenzhen electronics into the US.
Update, 10 November 2026: 178 Section 301 product exclusions for Chinese-origin goods are due to expire on 10 November 2026. If a product of yours relies on one, its duty may rise. We check this in every US quote.
Checked 16 October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your exact products and HS codes in your quote. This is general guidance, not legal or tax advice.
Tariffs change often: quoted on the day
The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, and a new Section 301 tariff on Chinese-origin goods took effect on 24 July 2026, with some exemptions including smartphones. Older Section 301 duties still apply to many products. We quote landed cost with the duty in force on your order date and confirm it with your broker.
SourceDe minimis no longer applies
The $800 de minimis exemption has been suspended for all countries since 29 August 2025, and CBP made the suspension indefinite in June 2026. Low-value shipments now need an entry and pay duty.
SourceImporter of record, bond and ISF
Formal entry is required above $2,500. Ocean shipments need an Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2), and a customs bond is required. Most importers use a licensed customs broker.
SourceCountry of origin marking
Imported goods must be marked with their country of origin, legibly and permanently, under US customs rules.
SourceFCC authorization and the Covered List
Radio products need FCC authorization. Equipment from Covered List companies, including Hikvision and Dahua, cannot be newly authorized, and a 2025 FCC order allows limits on continued import and marketing. We do not supply these brands for the US.
SourcePower banks and power stations
There is no mandatory CPSC standard for power banks or portable power stations, but UL 2056 and UL 2743 are the recognised safety standards, and many retailers ask for them. We source models with the test reports your channel needs.
Shipping from Shenzhen to the US.
Express couriers deliver door to door from Shenzhen to the US. It is the fastest route for phones, parts and samples, and we confirm the transit time with the carrier in your quote.
Larger orders go by sea from Yantian or Shekou to Los Angeles or Long Beach. Sailing times depend on the carrier and the season, so we include the forwarder's current schedule with your price.

About the team →Shenzhen Electronics for the US, answered.
Can I import Hikvision or Dahua cameras into the US?
Equipment from FCC Covered List companies, including Hikvision and Dahua, cannot be newly authorized, so we do not supply them for the US. We source cameras from manufacturers that are not on the list.
What tariffs apply to goods from China into the US right now?
They have changed several times in 2026. The IEEPA tariffs were struck down in February 2026, a new Section 301 tariff on Chinese-origin goods applies from 24 July 2026 with some exemptions, and older Section 301 duties still apply to many products. We quote landed cost at the rates in force on your order date.
Does the $800 de minimis rule still apply?
No. De minimis has been suspended for all countries since 29 August 2025, and the suspension was made indefinite in June 2026, so low-value shipments need an entry and pay duty.
