Key Notes
1. Does the transportation of glass products require special packaging?
(1) Ordinary glass doors and windows: standard anti-shock packaging (e.g. bubble wrap + wooden frame) can be used, but it needs to be adjusted according to the size.
(2) Oversized/shaped glass (e.g. curved glass, laminated glass): must be completely customized with wooden crates or metal frames to ensure fit to the shape of the goods.
(3) High-value products (e.g. coated glass, smart doors and windows): fumigation-free plywood crates + anti-vibration suspension system are recommended to further reduce risks.
2. Doors and windows, building materials and other products how to declare customs inspection?
You have to first figure out the rules of importation in the destination country to ensure that the products comply with regulations and standards, such as the safety of doors and windows, environmental standards. Then prepare a variety of documents: commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, importer and exporter registration number, and may want to quality certificates, test reports and so on.
