Beer imports require inspection declaration before customs clearance. Key inspection/quarantine documents:
Original Certificate of Origin (exporting country).
Original Sanitary Certificate (exporting country).
Chinese translation of label content.
Product label sample (pre-packaged beer only; raw materials usually exempt). Other docs match standard beer clearance requirements.
After inspection approval, an Import Customs Clearance Form is issued. The process: Declaration → Tax Invoice → Payment → Verification → Release.
Post-delivery, mandatory sampling/inspection applies. Passing yields the CIQ Certificate (15-20 business days)—proof the beer is safe for sale.
