There is no need to submit paper certificates offline, making the entire online processing efficient and convenient. Freight forwarding agents can assist in sorting out the review materials to avoid compliance risks in advance.

• - Implementation details: It is recommended to prepare basic equipment parameters, scanned Chinese labels, certificate of origin and other electronic materials, and submit the application 3-5 working days before the ship arrives at the port to avoid delay in the shipping schedule.
• - Reminder to avoid pits: The outer packaging model and production batch must be consistent with the manifest information. If there is any discrepancy, it may be returned for review, which will affect the progress of customs clearance; when withdrawing the container, please carefully check the condition of the container, and immediately take photos to retain the certificate if there is any damage to avoid subsequent disputes over rights and responsibilities.

Practical Guide for Official Customs Clearance of Yantian Port

After the pre-review is passed, the formal declaration process will be advanced: basic documents (manifest, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) must be prepared for customs clearance for all goods, and compliance certification documents can be supplemented according to regulatory attributes (such as medical equipment for ordinary goods. Relevant qualification certificates can be prepared as needed, and the final on-site customs requirements will prevail). Freight forwarders can assist in verifying the materials submitted for review.

• - Practical skills: Accurately check the corresponding HS code and mark it with "ordinary cargo medical treatment equipment" to avoid triggering additional random inspections due to classification errors; try to prepare all materials at one time and reduce the number of supplementary parts to reduce the customs clearance time. According to feedback from many overseas merchants, using standardized filling templates can greatly reduce the probability of human error.
