Business Background
The customer needs to import several fitness equipment from Japan to Shanghai Port, and then transport them to Suzhou. I found our company Shipping Whale Logistics through search, and after communicating with customers, we started to operate the goods after gaining the trust of customers. Customers hope that we can provide a door-to-door service from packing and picking up to delivery. Knowing the customer's needs, we arranged for the Japanese agent to pack and then pick up the goods and ship them to Shanghai.
Business Process
As it is naked fitness equipment, there is no local packaging material, if it is directly transported, it will easily cause the goods to be squeezed and damaged. Our company arranges local agents to pack the fitness equipment with packaging materials, then transport them to our warehouse, and send them to Shanghai by sea.
After arriving in Shanghai, after normal order exchange, tax payment, and inspection, the customs found that the customs code of the goods and the declared code were in doubt. We sorted out relevant data, communicated with the customs, listened to the codes provided by the customs, and paid the tax. In order to avoid the trouble of re-declaration, it also saves costs for customers.
The process of import customs clearance of fitness equipment:
1. Foreign suppliers prepare goods and arrive at port;
2. Exchange order
3. Electronic declaration - computer pre-recording, document review, sending, contacting with customs/release;
4. Inspection - after the electronic declaration is released, go to the Commodity Inspection Bureau with one of the four copies of the customs declaration form to go through the quotation procedure, and issue the customs clearance form or knock on the three inspection stamps;
5. On-site handover form - Customs on-site handover form;
6. Inspection - The customs will inspect the goods according to the supervision conditions of the declared name of the goods and the probability of inspection on the day. If there is inspection, an inspection notice will be issued.

1. The right to operate import and export;
