Importing into the United States

Do you sell in the US and buy your products from China?

Before your shipment leaves the factory, US customs already expects a set of papers: an invoice saying what is in the boxes and what you paid, a packing list, and a product code that decides how much duty you owe. Most first-time sellers learn this when the container is already sitting at the port, and every day it sits there costs money.

This pack is that paperwork laid out in order, with the blanks ready to fill in, plus a spreadsheet that shows what your goods really cost once duty and freight are counted.

  • What to have ready before the factory ships
  • Invoice and packing list, blanks already laid out
  • Worksheet to prepare the duty code for your product
  • Spreadsheet: real cost per unit once duty and shipping are in
  • A simple log to follow each shipment

We are not a customs broker and we do not file anything for you. A licensed broker signs off the entry.

Rhode Island homes over $1 million

Do you own a Rhode Island home worth over $1 million that is not where you live?

Rhode Island now taxes homes that are not the owner’s main residence: $2.50 for every $500 of assessed value above $1 million, for years starting 1 July 2026. You fall outside the tax if you lived in the house most of the year, or if it was rented out most of the year — but only if you can show it with dated records, and the state expects you to keep them for three years. The bill is split over four dates: 15 September, 15 December, 15 March and 15 June.

There is a second trap: when you sell a home assessed above $1 million, the closing waits on a state certificate saying nothing is owed. This kit is the day counter and the paper trail — what to write down, what to keep, and what to ask the state for before the closing date.

  • Payment calendar: 15 Sep, 15 Dec, 15 Mar, 15 Jun
  • Day-by-day tracker: days you used it, days it was rented
  • What proof to keep — leases, rent received, utility bills — and for how long
  • Steps to ask for the “nothing owed” certificate before a sale
  • Every point where the law and the state’s own rulebook say different things, flagged
  • Links to the state’s own forms — we do not copy them

Blank templates built from the public law. Not tax advice, and not a filled-in return.

California used-car dealers

Do you sell used cars in California for $50,000 or less?

From 1 October 2026, California gives the buyer three days to cancel that sale. You have to hand them a separate notice with that right (not buried in the contract), put a large-print sign in every room where deals are written, and put a short warning on the first page of the contract. There are also rules on extras and on how you show the total price. A miss on any of that can unwind the deal.

This pack is those notices laid out from the public law, with blanks to fill in, plus a log of which sale got which notice.

  • Separate three-day cancel notice (nine points the law lists)
  • Wall-sign wording in the size the law requires
  • First-page contract warning, copied from the statute
  • Checklist for extras and total-price advertising
  • A simple log of each sale and whether the notice went out

Blank templates from the public law. Not legal advice, and not a filled-in contract. If you negotiate in Spanish, get a qualified translation — this pack does not invent one.

Maryland self-storage operators

Do you run a self-storage place in Maryland?

Since 1 July 2026, if you do not renew a unit you have to put that in the rental agreement in bold, send a written notice, give the customer at least 30 days (and until the term ends) to empty the unit, and send another notice at least 10 days before you dispose of what they left. If you email a notice and get no reply or delivery confirm in 5 days, you must send a second notice by verified mail.

This pack is those notices and clocks, taken from the public law, with blanks to fill in.

  • Bold paragraph to drop into the rental agreement
  • Written notice that you are not renewing
  • Notice that you will dispose of what is left
  • 30-day, 10-day and 5-day clocks on a spreadsheet
  • Places where the chaptered bills still disagree, flagged — we do not pick a side

Blank templates from the public law. Not legal advice, and not a kit for unpaid-rent sales.

New York City self-storage operators

Do you run a self-storage place in New York City?

The city now makes you show every rate in writing before someone rents a unit, give 60 days’ notice before you raise the occupancy fee, and explain in writing if you end the agreement. A city license is already required (from 25 August 2026). Many of the notice rules start 1 November 2026. The city’s own rulebook sometimes asks for more than the law text itself.

This pack is those schedules and notices, taken from the public law and the city rules, with blanks to fill in.

  • Rate schedule to sign before the rental starts
  • Checklist for the master list you post on your website
  • 60-day notice before you raise the occupancy fee
  • Written explanation if you end the agreement
  • Places where the law and the city rules disagree, flagged

Blank templates from the public law. Not legal advice, and not a license application. We do not copy association forms.

Landlords and self-storage operators

Do you rent out homes, or run a self-storage place, in the United States?

States keep adding sentences your rental or storage agreement has to contain word for word: about keeping a home cool in summer heat, about what happens to a customer’s belongings, about what you may and may not charge. The wording comes from the law itself, so it is not something you get to phrase your own way, and it changes state by state.

These are those paragraphs, taken from the public law text, ready to drop into the agreement you already use.

  • Ready-made paragraphs for home rental agreements
  • Ready-made paragraphs for self-storage agreements
  • Which state each paragraph belongs to
  • Plain instructions for filling in the blanks

Blank templates from the public law. We do not write or review your contract.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?

No. These are blank templates and checklists built from public sources. Nothing here is advice about your particular house, shipment or contract, and buying a file does not make us your lawyer, accountant or broker. For your own case, ask a licensed professional.

What exactly do I receive?

Digital files only. A download page opens right after payment, with a PDF plus an editable spreadsheet or document. Nothing is shipped to you.

Can I get a refund?

Because products are instant digital downloads, all sales are final once the files have been delivered. If a file is corrupted or you were charged twice, email us and we'll make it right.

Are the statutory templates up to date for my state?

Every template is written from the public text of the law and lists the section it came from, so you can open the state's own site and check it. Laws change, and where a state's rulebook words something differently from the law itself, we say so in the file instead of picking a side for you.

Will you fill the documents out for me?

No — we don't offer case-specific document preparation, filing services, or customs brokerage. Everything we sell is self-service.
