Customs questions

Before arranging China export clearance

Does this service include destination import clearance?

No. China export clearance and destination import clearance are separate scopes. Import clearance, duties and taxes must be confirmed for the destination country.

Can the supplier handle the export declaration?

Sometimes. The correct arrangement depends on the seller, exporter of record, trade term and documentation. We review who is responsible before shipment.

Who confirms the HS code?

The commodity should be accurately described and classified with qualified support where necessary. Final customs acceptance remains subject to the relevant authority.

What happens if customs requests an inspection?

Inspection steps, timing and charges vary. We coordinate the available information and operational response but cannot guarantee release timing.
