Practical operation points in the pre-clearance process of valve equipment in Shenzhen Yantian Port
Shenzhen Yantian Port has opened an exclusive online pre-review channel for general cargo valve equipment. You can connect to the official port in advance through a cooperative international freight forwarder and submit basic information and first drafts of documents on valve equipment. Practical details need to be paid attention to:
- Prepare a full set of customs clearance materials in advance to avoid subsequent supplementary submissions;
- During pre-review, ensure that the name, model and material of valve equipment are consistent with subsequent formal application materials, so as to avoid being returned for modification due to inconsistent information.
Basic documents (bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) are necessary information for customs clearance of goods, and supplementary documents can be adjusted according to the goods supervision attributes. For example, it is recommended to confirm the electronic filing requirements for certificates of origin in advance for precision goods, subject to the actual customs supervision regulations. Cooperative international freight forwarders can assist in checking the documents.
