Business Background

The customer imported a batch of ceramic coffee cups from the United States to Shanghai, and found Shipping Whale International Logistics  through Internet search. Because the customer is not very clear about the classification of porcelain materials and customs codes, he entrusts our company to provide import customs clearance and logistics services for porcelain products.

Business Process

1. Documents to be provided when importing porcelain for customs clearance
the Foreign certificate of origin, foreign official health certificate, packing list, trade contract, invoice, bill of lading and freight bill, "Declaration of Conformity of Imported Food Contact Products" or "Record of Imported Food Contact Products", and Power of Attorney for Customs Declaration and Inspection
  
2. The process of porcelain import declaration

(1) The goods arrive at the port of Shanghai;
(2) Pay the import freight of porcelain and replace the order with the shipping agency;
(3) Arranging import inspection and customs declaration;
(4) Customs examines the price and issues the tax bill;
(5) Pay taxes;
(6) Customs inspection;
(7) release of goods;
(8) pick up the goods;
(9) Delivery to designated locations in China;

Based on our many years of experience in customs clearance, our compact procedures can save customs clearance time, thereby saving import costs. Although the import process is clear at a glance, it is not so simple to cooperate closely with each other. First of all, some documents must be delivered in the container. The application process started about two weeks ago, and the documents can be sorted out and declared for inspection and customs declaration as soon as the container arrives at the port. In this way, we will not delay the timely customs declaration, and will not exceed the free cabinet rental period, which can save a lot of expenses. If you have not prepared the paper documents in time when you declare for inspection, you can first declare electronically (customs declaration), and then prepare paper documents for customs declaration. When the customs inspects goods, they can conduct commodity inspections at the same time, and the participation of multiple departments can save a lot of time.

Experience Summary

1. It is generally more reasonable to choose a port close to the seller's location;
2. The documents are complete and the customs clearance efficiency is high. The main reason is that foreign countries cooperate to provide certificates of origin and disinfection. In addition, if you need to apply for an endangered certificate or a non-endangered certificate to verify, please apply in advance;
3. Objectively provide the value of the goods, generally through the prior approval of porcelain and Latin names to determine the home/customs code and roughly review the price;
4. The arrival time of the goods is seamlessly connected with the customs clearance time, so as to avoid warehouse rent and cabinet rent.
