We estimate import processing costs based on the time it takes to import. Our theory extends existing time …-cost measures to account for uncertainty in import processing. We use detailed, highly disaggregated data on import processing dates … and import values to provide evidence for our theory and estimate processing costs consistent with the theory. The …
