The customs clearance agent of imported sesame generally requires the following materials. First, there are commercial documents, including contracts, invoices, and packing lists. They record the trade information of the goods in detail, such as the buyer and seller, the value of the goods, the quantity and packaging, etc., and are the basis of customs clearance. Second, there are official documents. The certificate of origin can prove the source of the sesame and enable one to enjoy the corresponding tariff preferences; the phytosanitary certificate indicates that the sesame meets the requirements of plant quarantine and is free of pests. Third, there is the bill of lading, which is the transport voucher of the goods and proves the ownership of the goods. In addition, label samples and their translations are also crucial. If imported prepackaged sesame is involved, the labels should comply with the relevant regulations on domestic food labels and mark information such as the name, ingredients, production date, etc. In special cases, such as when endangered sesame varieties are involved, an import license for endangered species is also required. Preparing these materials can make the customs clearance smoother.
