Answer:
If you are planning to start a business importing items into the USA, I suggest you read the following US Bureau of Custom's papers

Importing into the United States: A Practical Guide for Commercial Importers http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/tool. -- this is a 200-page document that tells you the eligible items you can import and the invoices required, among other things
How Cargo Flows Securely into the US http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/impo.
US Embassy (look at the last page as it has a good link of websites for additional info) http://canada.usembassy.gov/content/can_.

Other websites worth checking are:

CMTAC Trade Information Database http://latrade.cmtac.org/trade_info/inde.
Dont's of Importing http://www.gattiassociates.com/cm/articl.
Flowchart of the export process http://www.export.gov/exportbasics/index.
Going Global http://www.going-global.com/articles/.

These trade association websites also have loads of information on how to start an export import business:

hello friend, first you have to go through customs, and get all the necesary paper work to import the tools. If you want to open the distributor or office find a business broke on the internet and a city that you want your business to grow from. Best of luck!
Be very careful, a lot of the electronics do not work properly.
