Many overseas merchants have reported that when exporting basic chemical raw materials of general goods to China, the most difficult thing is the differences in rules in customs clearance and the differences in port practical operation details. In particular, Guangzhou Nansha Port, as a core hub port in South China, if it does not master its exclusive customs clearance rules, it may easily lead to timeliness delays and increased costs. The following are the practical points of customs clearance for this port area:
Practical operation points in the customs clearance pre-examination process
Guangzhou Nansha Port has opened an exclusive online Chinese label pre-examination channel for basic chemical raw materials for general goods. It is recommended to entrust qualified China international freight forwarding companies to submit pre-review materials 3-5 days in advance, without waiting for the re-review after the goods arrive at the port, which can effectively shorten the waiting time for on-site review.
Customs clearance materials need to be prepared in advance: basic documents (sea bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) need to be prepared for all goods; if supplementary documents such as composition descriptions of common chemical raw materials are involved, the agent company can be requested to assist in checking the information matching degree, and ultimately subject to the actual regulatory requirements of China Customs.
Practical operation points in the customs clearance and declaration process
The core of customs clearance of basic chemical raw materials for general goods in Guangzhou Nansha Port is compliance declaration. The review of China Customs focuses on composition compliance and document matching. You can entrust China international freight forwarding companies to sort out various documents in advance, determine additional documents based on the cargo supervision attributes, and have their professionals assist in verifying all materials, and follow the official regulations of China Customs throughout the entire process.
In addition, Nansha Port has specially set up priority inspection channels for basic chemical raw materials for general goods: if the customs declaration procedures are completed 24 hours in advance, the goods can enjoy priority inspection qualifications, and the overall customs clearance speed can be increased by about 20%.
Practical operation points in box extraction
The box extraction operation needs to be started after completing all verification and release procedures at China Customs. The process must not be inverted. When extracting the boxes, the appearance must be checked one by one. If abnormal conditions such as seepage and deformation are found, evidence should be obtained immediately through image traces and reported to the port operator as soon as possible to avoid subsequent disputes. After the box is lifted away from the yard, it can connect the domestic transshipment link to the designated warehousing node. Freight forwarding companies can follow up on logistics trends throughout the entire process to ensure the safe delivery of goods.
