Anne:
The short answer is you are not responsible or obligated to have
Importer Verification Records (including specifications) if you are
buying from another U.S. firm (i.e. the importer of record or a customer
of the importer of record) and the product has already entered the U.S.
and been cleared into interstate commerce. If you needed to convince
someone, I would imagine that your bills of lading and other business
transaction documents should be sufficient.

Good Morning,
I think I know the answer to this question but would like to be certain.
If we buy an imported product from another company ( US), who bought it
from another company ( US ) that actually imported it are we still
required to have Import Product Specifications on file? What appropriate
documentation should we have to show we were not the importer of record?
Thanks
