International Travel
Tidbits:
After crossing several time zones, many travelers suffer
from "jet lag." Although there is no way to completely avoid jet lag,
there are a number of ways to help your body adjust to a new time zone.
- Try to go to bed a little earlier a few days before you
leave and get as much sleep as you can during your flight.
- Many side-effects of jet lag are the result of
dehydration, so avoid alcohol, coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages
and drink plenty of water during your flight.
- Eat lightly on your flight and forego rich or exotic
foods on the first few days of your trip so that you can use your energy to
adjust to your new surroundings rather than to digest your food.
- Exercising on a long flight will help alleviate such
common discomforts as backaches, swollen legs and feet and general fatigue.
Stretch at regular intervals and walk up and down the aisles of the plane
from time to time to prevent dangerous blood clots from forming.
- Finally, take it easy on the day you arrive so that you
can take advantage of your trip at a leisurely pace and establish a routine
in sync with the local time.
Experts spend years learning how to
properly classify an item in order to determine its correct duty rate. For
instance, you might want to know the rate of duty of a wool suit. A
classification specialist will need to know, does it have darts? Did the wool
come from Israel or another country that qualifies for duty-free treatment for
certain of it's products, where was the suit assembled, does it have any
synthetic fibers in the lining, etc. This
link will take you to an interactive data base that will enable you to get
an approximate idea of the duty rate for a particular product.
Please be aware that the duty rate you
request is only as good as the information you provide. The actual duty rate of
the item you import may not be what you think it should be as a result of your
research. Customs makes the final determination of what the correct rate of duty
is, not the importer. For very specific duty information on a particular item
you may request a Binding Ruling. You may also receive guidance by calling your
local Customs port.
