Export of lifting machinery and equipment to China_ customs clearance at Shenzhen Yantian Port

Practical operating points for customs clearance for lifting machinery and equipment exported to China

Combined with years of practical experience in freight forwarding, the core steps can be disassembled as follows:

• 1. Prepare basic documents in advance, including bills of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. If there is a need to supplement the compliance certificate for engineering equipment such as lifting machinery, the actual regulatory requirements of China Customs shall prevail, and China International Freight Forwarders can assist in checking the documents.
• 2. Before applying for customs clearance by China customs, pre-examination of the model parameters of lifting machinery and equipment can be submitted through the exclusive online port of Shenzhen Yantian Port to reduce the waiting time for on-site inspection.
• 3. Containers will be picked up after customs clearance and release. It is recommended to accurately declare the nameplate information of lifting machinery and equipment to avoid being required to supplement information; when extracting containers, it is necessary to check the damage of the container body, and take photos in time for retention if there is any problem. The free container storage period at Shenzhen Yantian Port is 72 hours, and a detention fee will be incurred if overtime is exceeded. After an overseas merchant followed this process, the customs clearance time limit was shortened by about 3 days compared with the previous one.
