Tequila Import Customs Handling in Guangzhou

Common Hurdles in Tequila Imports to Guangzhou

Foreign businesses importing tequila to Guangzhou often encounter issues like:

• Incorrect tariff classification for alcoholic beverages, leading to duty disputes

• Missing phytosanitary certificates required for food safety compliance

• Stringent verification of alcohol content, causing delays in clearance

For example, a US-based tequila importer once spent 10 days waiting for clearance due to an incomplete certificate of origin. Suixin Logistics stepped in, reviewing documents within 24 hours and collaborating with Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to resolve the issue swiftly.
