For the import agency of pet food cans, first, clarify the product information, including ingredients, specifications, brand, etc., which helps determine the customs code and tax rate.
Next, find a reliable supplier and sign a purchase contract, clearly defining key terms such as quality standards, delivery time, and payment method in the contract.
Then, go through relevant procedures. For example, the filing of importers and exporters of imported food can be handled through the "Internet + Customs" platform. There is also the approval for animal and plant quarantine, which may be required for some pet food cans.
Before the goods arrive at the port, prepare customs declaration materials such as packing lists, invoices, contracts, and bills of lading, and entrust a professional customs broker like Zhongshitong to handle the customs declaration. After the customs inspection is passed and the customs duties and value-added tax are paid, the goods can be released for pickup. It should be noted that the product needs to meet relevant domestic standards, and the label should also be compliant. Do a pre-audit in advance.
