Send Us a Sample

Customs Science Services, Inc., has the expertise, equipment and experience to run all "U.S. Customs" lab tests on all types of imported footwear, handbags, jackets and anoraks, coated or laminated textile fabrics, etc. For samples requiring highly specialized analytical instrumentation, we work closely with a number of university and commercial labs to provide you with an accurate, HTS-responsive lab analysis in the shortest possible turnaround time and at the lowest price.

For all lab analyses, we provide a written lab report that describes the sample, names the analysis methods used and presents the test results clearly and concisely. If appropriate, our lab report will also include our opinion as to the item's HTS classification and rate of duty.

Our regular turnaround time is one week, but for emergencies, we offer 72-hour RUSH service.
