To be clear, that's exactly what I mean: FIRST could offer the opportunity to register and pay a month earlier, so FIRST can ship it a month earlier, so that it arrives at the port of entry a month earlier, so that customs has an extra month to do whatever they do to it, and eventually release it to you once they're satisfied. (If FIRST doesn't have an entire KOP on hand at that point, they can send the balance of your materials at a later date, even though those may arrive late.)
