To handle the goods subject to legal inspection in entrepot trade, first, clarify the HS code of the goods to determine the specific inspection and quarantine requirements. Prepare the basic trade documents such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, bills of lading in advance, and may also need to provide related certificates such as certificates of origin.
Declare to the inspection and quarantine agency at the entry port, and fill in the goods information truthfully when declaring. The inspection and quarantine agency will conduct inspections, tests and other operations according to the situation of the goods. If the test is qualified, it will issue the relevant customs clearance documents, and the goods can continue to be transshipped.
To avoid delaying the transshipment time, plan the time in advance and reserve enough inspection and quarantine cycles. You can communicate with the inspection and quarantine agency in advance to understand the process and precautions, and if necessary, you can also entrust a professional customs broker like Zhongshitong to assist in handling to ensure the smooth circulation of the goods.
