Business Background

The customer entrusted our company (Shipping Whale  International Logistics) to import a batch of second-hand welding machines to Kunshan. Since the trading company has signed a trade contract with the purchaser and the time is tight, the consignee asked our company to arrange air transportation directly. For transportation, the poles with a total weight of about 1200KG are transported from Hamburg, Germany to Shanghai Pudong Airport, so as to ensure that the goods are delivered to the actual purchasing factory as soon as possible.

Business Process

Because the customer has repeatedly told that this batch of accessories is particularly urgent, it is required to declare the customs as soon as the goods arrive at the warehouse of Shanghai Pudong Airport. Our air freight department immediately sorted out the written materials such as foreign packing lists obtained, and carefully checked the functional principles with the customer's technical personnel, and then further sorted out according to different usage principles in line with the classification principles of the customs, and went smoothly under careful arrangements. After completing the classification work, the follow-up customs declaration and price review process passed smoothly. In the customs control and inspection process, because the colleagues of the air transport department had already prepared for relevant inspections in advance, they provided the corresponding list, drawing structure and sufficient explanation in time. Finally, The customs declaration operation was completed within the time specified by the customer.
