Efficient Customs Clearance for Coffee Beans Import to China

Common Hurdles in Coffee Beans Import Clearance to China

When importing coffee beans to China, foreign businesses often hit roadblocks due to:

• Non-compliance with Chinese phytosanitary regulations (e.g., missing pest control certificates)

• Incorrect classification of coffee bean products, leading to tariff discrepancies

• Delays in submitting required documents (commercial invoice, packing list, and origin certificates)

For instance, a Colombian coffee supplier once struggled for 5 days because their phytosanitary certificate was not properly formatted. Our team identified this issue during our 24-hour document pre-review, correcting it immediately and ensuring smooth declaration.
