When many overseas edible oil and fat exporters ship goods to China, they are often unfamiliar with China customs clearance rules and port practical operation details, resulting in delays in customs clearance and return of documents. As an important food import hub in South China, Shenzhen Shekou Port has exclusive customs clearance standards. Choosing a professional China international freight forwarder can help you avoid most compliance risks.
Practical operation points for pre-examination of labeling of edible oils exported to China
Before exporting edible oils to China, a Chinese label pre-review application can be submitted in advance through the online channel of Shenzhen Shekou Port. When applying, materials such as the registration number of the overseas production enterprise, scanned copies of the official health or hygiene certificate must be prepared.
For customs clearance of all goods, basic documents such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin must be prepared; corresponding regulatory documents can be supplemented as needed for food goods according to the actual regulatory requirements of China Customs. Professional China international freight forwarding agents can assist you in checking documents.
After passing the pre-examination, you will receive an exclusive verification code, which will be submitted simultaneously for subsequent customs clearance declarations to avoid the return of documents due to non-compliance of labels.
