When many overseas merchants export refrigeration machinery and equipment to China, they are often unfamiliar with the customs clearance rules of Shenzhen Yantian Port, resulting in process delays or compliance risks. Choosing a professional China international freight forwarder can help sort out the details of the entire customs clearance process of refrigeration machinery and equipment in Shenzhen Yantian Port and ensure smooth and efficient customs clearance of China customs.
Practical operation points in the pre-clearance process of refrigeration machinery in Shenzhen Yantian Port (exporting refrigeration machinery to China)
Combined with industry practical experience, Shenzhen Yantian Port supports online submission of pre-examination documents for equipment function descriptions for common cargo refrigeration machinery and equipment. Merchants can sort out basic equipment parameters, usage instructions and other information in advance, upload pre-examination through the designated port, and reduce the probability of being refunded due to incomplete information during customs clearance. According to feedback from some overseas merchants, completing the pre-examination in advance can shorten the customs clearance time limit by 1-2 working days.
Practical operation points in the customs clearance declaration process of China (exporting refrigeration machinery and equipment to China)
After completing the pre-examination, enter the customs clearance declaration process. Basic documents (bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) need to be prepared for customs clearance of all goods; refrigeration machinery and equipment belong to mechanical and electrical goods. If supplementary documents that apply regulatory requirements are needed, it is recommended to sort them out in advance, and ultimately rely on the actual customs supervision requirements. The requirements will prevail, and China International Freight Forwarding can assist in checking the documents. It is necessary to ensure that the equipment model and quantity on the document are consistent with the actual cargo information to reduce detention at the port; it is recommended to prepare customs clearance materials in advance to reduce the possibility of supplementary submission. In addition, Shenzhen Yantian Port has opened an exclusive declaration and review channel for general cargo refrigeration machinery and equipment, which can shorten the review cycle for compliant goods by approximately 20%.
Mention the practical operation points of containers and subsequent connection links (exporting refrigeration machinery and equipment to China)
After completing customs clearance and release, containers can be picked up. When carrying a suitcase, you need to check the container number and seal information one by one, and at the same time check the damage of the container. If there is any problem, you need to take photos in time and retain it, and then arrange transportation to the designated storage location after confirming that it is correct. The free storage period for containers picked up in Guangzhou and Shenzhen ports is usually 72 hours, and container detentions fees will be incurred if they exceed the limit. Yantian Port has a dedicated temporary container storage position for the transportation connection of refrigeration machinery and equipment, which can effectively reduce the waiting time for intermediate turnover of goods. Merchants can also use the real-time tracking and inquiry system of China International Freight Forwarding to keep track of container extraction, transportation and warehousing status at any time, and accurately control the entire dynamics of goods.
