Experience summary
1. Declaration elements of clothing import declaration: product name, weaving method (weaving, etc.), type (one-piece, summer clothes, washed clothes, sleeveless blouses, etc.), category (men's, women's, children), ingredient content, brand .
2. The difficulty in importing clothing is the rectification of labels. Clothes need to have three guarantees, certificates of conformity, and washing labels (commodity inspection requirements, most clothing needs to be rectified). As long as you pay attention to these problems, it is basically not that difficult to import clothing.
3. The product information is consistent. Before importing clothing, you must clearly know the information of your own products, otherwise the customs will require you to declare a lot of things during customs clearance. As long as there is a little difference in the material, the customs will require you to declare it as one item.
