First of all, in the early stage, one should clarify the detailed information of the tires, such as specifications, models, uses, brands, etc., and at the same time prepare basic documents such as packing lists, invoices, and contracts. Zhongshitong reminds that for tires involving 3C certification, relevant certifications should be completed in advance. Some products may have the situation of being exempt from 3C, which should be confirmed in advance.
Secondly, look for a professional customs clearance agency company. One can judge its professionalism through word-of-mouth, cases, etc.
Then, the agency company will file a declaration to the customs before the goods arrive at the port, submit relevant document materials. After the customs reviews and there are no errors, it will issue a tax bill, and the importer will pay the tariffs and value-added taxes. After the goods arrive at the port, they may face customs inspections. The agency needs to cooperate with the customs to complete the inspection work. If the goods match the declared information, they can be released for pickup. Throughout the whole process, it is very important to maintain close communication with the agency to ensure the timely transmission of information.

It should be noted that the classification codes for different uses of tires may be different, which will affect the tax rate. The customs clearance agency must classify them accurately. In addition, clearly understand the operation process and fees of the port to avoid incurring additional high fees.

Confirm the service scope with the agency in advance. Some agencies do not include subsequent services such as pickup and storage at the dock. Don't let there be a break in the connection and waste time later.
