How China Export Clearance Works<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Declaration filing<\/strong> – we submit the export declaration to China Customs through the single-window system with the commercial invoice, packing list and contract.<\/li>\n
  2. HS classification and licensing check<\/strong> – the goods are classified under an HS code, and any required licence or certification is verified before filing.<\/li>\n
  3. Inspection (if selected)<\/strong> – customs may order a machine or manual inspection; we coordinate with the terminal and the supplier to keep the delay short.<\/li>\n
  4. Release and loading<\/strong> – once released, the container is gated in and loaded against the vessel or flight schedule.<\/li>\n
  5. Documentation handover<\/strong> – bill of lading, insurance and destination documents are issued and shared with you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Import Clearance at Destination<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Under DDP terms, our destination partners file the import declaration, pay duties and taxes on your behalf and arrange delivery. You do not need an import entity, a customs broker or a tax registration in the destination country – the goods arrive at your door with the paperwork already settled.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Why Shipments Get Held at Customs<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Four causes account for most customs holds we see: an under-declared value, an HS code that does not match the product, a missing certificate for a regulated category, and restricted goods shipped without dangerous-goods paperwork. All four are avoidable at the booking stage, which is why we screen cargo attributes before your goods leave the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n

    What “Double Clearance” (Shuangqing) Means<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Double clearance means the forwarder handles both sides: export clearance in China and import clearance at destination. On our DDP double-clearance tax-inclusive lines the quoted price also covers duties and taxes, so the importer receives the cargo with no further payment or paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n

    What documents are needed for customs clearance in China?<\/strong>
    Typically a commercial invoice, packing list and export declaration, plus licences or certifications such as MSDS, COC or CE for regulated goods. We prepare and submit the full document set on your behalf under DDP terms.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Why do shipments get held at customs?<\/strong>
    The most common causes are under-declared values, HS code mismatches, missing certifications, and restricted items without DG paperwork. We pre-screen cargo and documents to minimize inspection risk and handle any customs query directly.<\/p>\n\n\n

    What does double clearance (shuangqing) mean?<\/strong>
    Double clearance means both export clearance in China and import clearance at destination are handled by the forwarder. Under our DDP double-clearance tax-inclusive lines, duties and taxes are also covered in the quoted price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
