To import ornaments on an agency basis, first of all, you can choose a professional agency company. For example, Zhongshitong has rich experience.
Step one, you need to clarify the detailed information of the ornaments, such as the material, usage, size, etc. This is convenient for confirming the commodity code and understanding the corresponding regulatory conditions.
Step two, prepare relevant documents, usually including basic commercial documents such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, as well as special documents such as certificates of origin that may be involved.
Step three, before the goods arrive at the port, the agency company will declare to the customs in advance and fill in all the information on the customs declaration form truthfully. After the customs reviews and approves without errors and collects the corresponding taxes and fees, it will arrange for the inspection of the goods (possibly sampling inspection), and the goods can be released for pick-up if the inspection is passed.
At the same time, you also need to understand the relevant policies and regulations of the importing country and our country regarding such ornaments to avoid losses caused by not understanding the regulations.
