Business Background
my country's clothing imported fabrics are mainly chemical fiber products, accounting for 60%-70% of the total imported fabrics. The source of goods for fabrics can be divided into two types: imported and domestic. Imported fabrics are mainly from European and American countries such as Spain, France, Germany, and the United States, as well as neighboring Korea and Japan. Recently, a customer imported a batch of fabrics from South Korea and found Shipping Whale Logistics through introduction. After receiving the customer's cargo information and communicating with the customer in detail, our company formulates a complete import transportation plan according to the customer's needs.
Business Process
The customer simply packs the fabric to avoid extrusion and damage to the goods during transportation. Our company arranges local agents to pack the fabrics with packaging materials, then transport them to our warehouse, and send them to Guangzhou by sea. After arriving in Guangzhou, 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.
There are no special requirements for import customs clearance of fabrics, which are similar to the import customs clearance requirements for general goods. First go to the port shipping agency to exchange for the bill of lading, and then prepare the customs declaration materials: bill of lading, invoice, packing list, contract, certificate of origin

1. Product name
2. Weaving method
3. Dyeing and finishing method

Experience Summary
1. The fabric is mainly made of wooden boxes
MARK marks should be done to facilitate the distinction and logarithm. It is recommended to use pallets to prevent fabrics from being missing, dropped, or damaged during transportation.
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, but 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.
3. Confirm the category and customs code of the fabric
There are many types of fabrics, including: cotton, suits, woven, polyester, nylon and other fabrics. The commodity codes of each fabric are different, and the qualifications and materials required for different commodity codes are different. Before importing, we must first import commodity codes and classify them.
