Mooreable builds AI-assisted tools and hands-on reviews that help US importers who source from China check refund eligibility, model tariff exposure, and get their files broker-ready — before problems turn into holds, penalties, or missed deadlines.

For importers of record who paid IEEPA tariffs. I review the entry records you provide (up to 50 entries) against published CBP and court information on IEEPA refunds. You receive a list of entries worth raising with your customs broker, the questions to ask, and a document checklist. Mooreable does not determine refund eligibility, does not confirm deadlines for your entries, and does not prepare or submit CBP filings — your customs broker or attorney does. Delivered in 5 business days.
For Amazon sellers and small importers sourcing from China: an IOR readiness checklist, a UFLPA documentation checklist, and a 30-minute review call. General education only — no HTS classification, valuation, or entry-specific advice. Delivered in 5 business days.
For China-based sellers acting as importer of record or shipping DDP: a 30-minute call — a general walkthrough of how CBP exams, CF-28s, IOR issues, and UFLPA holds work. It does not review or advise on a specific entry. Written next steps within 24 hours.
Mooreable LLC is an Oregon limited liability company, founded July 29, 2026, by Huifang Moore and based in Gresham, Oregon, USA. Founder has 15+ years in customs brokerage, import/export operations, international logistics, and supply chain coordination, now working in US import compliance. Mooreable brings an importer's first-hand perspective, not theory alone.
We teach importers how to prepare their own files and ask their broker the right questions. That is the whole model: practical, bilingual, and honest about what we do and don't do.
A detention means CBP is holding your goods while it decides whether they may enter the US. The clock is already running, so the first move is documentation, not waiting.
Work through your customs broker: pin down exactly what CBP is asking for, then gather purchase orders, invoices, packing lists, payment records, and supply-chain documents, and respond within the period stated in the detention notice. If the issue is forced-labor documentation (UFLPA), expect to show the full chain from raw materials to finished goods. Ask your broker: "What exactly is CBP asking for, what is my deadline, and which documents do we already have?"
The importer of record is the party legally responsible for an entry. Since September 18, 2026, CBP has been voiding IOR numbers that cannot show a real US presence behind them.
An IOR number has to stand behind genuine US operations and assets; a number that exists only on paper can be voided, and a shipment whose IOR is voided has no one who can legally enter it. Ask your broker: "What is the current status of my IOR number, and have we received any CBP inquiry about it?"
A CF-28 is a formal Request for Information: CBP is asking you to document how your goods were classified, valued, or sourced, and it needs a complete answer by the date on the form.
Do not ignore it, and do not answer it casually. Pull the entry documents it names, check them against what was actually declared, and reply through your broker before the deadline (commonly 30 days from the notice). Any gap between your documents and the declaration is exactly what the response needs to explain. Ask your broker: "Which entries and documents does this CF-28 name, and what is our response deadline?"
Yes. A classification change can be challenged by protest, but the protest must be filed within 180 days after the entry is liquidated, and it only covers the entries it names.
Importers have taken classification disputes to the US Court of International Trade and won, where the legal argument was built properly. Litigation is a customs attorney's job; the groundwork is yours: a clean entry record and a protest that lists every affected entry. Ask your broker: "What is the liquidation date, what is my protest deadline, and which entries should the protest cover?"
No. Mooreable does not classify goods, file anything with CBP, or give legal advice. We teach importers to prepare their own files and ask their broker the right questions.
Classification and valuation opinions belong to your licensed customs broker; legal positions belong to a customs attorney. Our layer is the one before that: checklists, file preparation, and a clear list of the questions and documents your broker needs from you. If you would like help organizing that list for your situation, email hello@mooreable.com.
