Business Background

A winery in Shanghai wanted to import a batch of red wine from Spain, and found Shipping Whale  International Logistics  through the introduction of a friend. After communication and understanding, we entrust our company to provide general trade import, import logistics, domestic customs clearance, domestic logistics and other services.

Business Process

After our company took over the customer's ticket business, we found that the customer's wine import contract negotiated with the Spanish winery has basically complete terms related to the goods, but there is no relevant requirements for the import customs declaration documents that the Spanish winery should provide to the importer. Therefore, it is recommended that the customer add relevant clauses to the contract, and list the required red wine import declaration documents to the customer in Chinese and English.

In this way, before the batch of red wine arrives at Yangshan Port, our company has obtained a full set of red wine import customs declaration materials. At the same time, our company has also handled the importer filing for the customer in advance, and has made preparations for the preliminary import customs declaration. As soon as the goods arrive at the port, the declaration is made immediately, and the bill is issued and the tax is paid on the same day, and the customs declaration and release are obtained on the same day. Afterwards, the batch of red wine will be transported to the designated receiving location according to the customer's request.
