Business Background
The customer in this case wanted to import a batch of second-hand mobile phone equipment from the United States to Shanghai in China. The customer searched online and found our company , and learned about our company's scale and its professionalism in importing new and old equipment. After a comprehensive comparison, I think our company is quite good, so I decided to cooperate with our company, and our company will operate the import declaration of the old electromechanical Shanghai Yangshan Wharf.
Business Process
During the communication process, the customer expressed the hope to provide a one-stop service from the United States to Shanghai, which covers pre-shipment inspection and quarantine in the United States, equipment disassembly and packaging, door-to-door delivery, overseas export declaration, international shipping, domestic destination port customs clearance, warehousing and distribution , Commodity inspection transfer. Based on the above needs of customers, the two parties finalized the door-to-door import plan at the Shanghai port.
The import of used equipment often involves the issue of customs price review and inspection. Prepare the price review materials in the early stage of declaration so as to save customs clearance time when encountering price reviews later. The price review materials that need to be prepared include: original invoices, foreign exchange payment certificates, e-mails, chat records, screenshots of website prices, and descriptions of situations, etc. At the same time, opening the original packaging is not conducive to the development of domestic distribution work. Through our negotiation with the customs, the port customs agreed that after the set of semiconductor equipment arrives at the destination, the local customs will arrange on-site inspection, which properly solves the problem of customs inspection.

Experience Summary
1. The key point of the difficulty in the customs clearance of old machinery and electronics is the import price review of old machinery and electronics. The price of old machinery and electronics involves the identification of newness and oldness. The importer must provide the real transaction credentials of the buyer and the seller, such as insurance policy, foreign exchange payment certificate, and original sales invoice. .
2. Before the import of old mechanical and electrical products, it is necessary to do pre-shipment inspection of imported used mechanical and electrical products, and the inspection certificate is issued before the import is allowed. China Inspection Company, which is on the record list of pre-shipment inspection agencies for imported used mechanical and electrical products, has its services in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Asia-Pacific and other countries The foreign inspection can handle it.
