Experience Summary
1. Fabric stocking: Wooden boxes are better for fabric stocking and packing. MARK marks should be done to facilitate the distinction and logarithm. In order to prevent fabric shortage, loss, or damage during the transportation of fabrics from abroad to Hong Kong, it is recommended to palletize (except for small quantities), and the weight of a single pallet should be within 1 ton.
2. Determine the import method. Air freight is fast, but the cost is high. You can use sea freight, LCL or FCL, which can greatly save costs, and the time will be longer. You can arrange DHL, UPS and other express companies for samples, and our company can pick up the goods directly at your door. Transportation and customs declaration can provide one-stop service, which makes importers more trouble-free and worry-free.
3. Confirm the category and customs code of the fabric. Information such as the weaving method, composition content, processing technology, and weight of the fabric can be completed within 1-2 days under normal circumstances. There are many types of art classifications, so there are different customs HS codes. Before importing, we must first import commodity codes and classify them.
