Plastic packaging materials belong to the category of general goods. When exporting to China, priority can be given to the online pre-examination channel for customs clearance at Shenzhen Shekou Port. You need to first submit the Chinese label pre-review documents for plastic packaging materials on the exclusive digital platform of Shekou Port. After the pre-review is passed, you will then submit the official declaration data to the China Customs Customs Clearance System. Please note that the material and specification information on the label must be consistent with the bill of lading and packing list to avoid triggering secondary inspection due to inconsistent information. According to feedback from some exporters, completing the pre-examination in advance can shorten the customs clearance time at Shenzhen Shekou Port by 1-2 working days and help reduce container storage costs.
