Running an import-export business means dealing with a constant flow of moving parts—shipments, customs, contracts, payments, exchange rates. The last thing on your mind is probably taxes.


But here’s the thing—without a solid tax strategy, you could be losing money every single year.


That’s where we come in. Straight Talk CPAs works with import-export companies to build smart, proactive tax plans that grow with your business. It’s not about scrambling before a deadline. It’s about knowing what’s coming, staying prepared, and keeping more of what you earn.

Why Import-Export Businesses End Up Paying Too Much

Missed Deductions

Shipping fees, customs handling, software, travel—there are plenty of things you could write off. But if they’re not tracked, they’re gone.

The Wrong Business Setup

LLC, S-Corp, partnership… each one impacts your taxes differently. If you’re set up wrong, you could be losing thousands without even realizing it.

Messy Records

Receipts go missing. Income from international contracts doesn’t get logged. Expenses slip through the cracks. It happens—especially when you’re busy.
