When importing goods from China, we assist you in preparing the essential documentation. This typically includes commercial invoices, packing lists, Certificates of Origin, Bills of Lading, airway bills, and customs declaration forms.
If needed, we can also help with import/export licenses and other regulatory paperwork.
We take the guesswork out of compliance by managing both Chinese export regulations and the import requirements for your destination country. Whether you’re shipping to the U.S., Australia, or other countries, we handle tariff classification to ensure your goods are correctly categorized.
We also calculate any applicable duties and taxes, ensuring compliance with both local and international regulations.
Customs duties and taxes are calculated based on factors like the HS code (Harmonized System code), value, and origin of the goods. We will assist in determining the correct tariff classification for your products and calculating the duty and taxes owed.
Additionally, we can help identify duty reduction options, such as free trade agreements. Typically, the importer of record (you, as the buyer) is responsible for these fees, but we’ll guide you through the process to ensure you know what to expect.
If any issues arise during the customs clearance process, such as discrepancies in documentation, tariff classification errors, or random inspections, we’ll help resolve them.
Our team will liaise with customs authorities on your behalf. We will clarify any concerns and take corrective actions to avoid fines or delays.
Customs clearance time can vary based on factors such as the type of goods, destination country, and whether your shipment requires an inspection. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a week. We ensure that your documentation is complete and accurate to avoid unnecessary delays.
Common causes of delays include incorrect or missing paperwork, classification disputes, or random customs inspections. However, we proactively address these issues to ensure your shipment clears smoothly and on time.
