Is ceramic exports always being held up? You may be missing a "Customs Clearance Translator"

"This batch of blue and white porcelain plates was held up at the German customs!" Mr. Zhang's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. As the head of a Dalian ceramic trading company, he realized for the first time that: The success or failure of ceramic exports often lies in the details of the customs declaration form. Today, we will lift the veil of the industry of Dalian ceramic export customs declaration agency and see how those precious porcelains safely reach overseas buyers across the ocean.

Customs data shows that the error rate of ceramic goods declaration at Dalian port in the past three years has reached 17%, which is much higher than that of other commodities. Ms. Li's experience is quite representative: Her bone china tableware consigned to a logistics company for export was subject to a 35% anti-dumping duty in the destination country because she confused the "decorative" and "daily use" codes during the declaration.

• Tariff Classification Trap: Ceramic products involve 7 sub-items in Chapter 69 of the HS code
• Blind Spot of Inspection and Certification: EU CE certification and US FDA standards are different
• Special Requirements for Packaging: Germany requires wooden pallets to be fumigated

The manager of the customs declaration department of Zhongshibao revealed that high-quality agency services can reduce the average compliance cost of enterprises by 23%:

1. Pre-classification Service

Locking the tariff number through the customs pre-classification decision letter, a certain enterprise's export of enameled vase thus saved 9.8% in customs duties.

2. Risk Early Warning System

Real-time monitoring of changes in global trade barriers, such as timely warning of new regulations for Australian ceramic tiles last year to avoid customer losses.

3. Customs Visualization

Full-process tracking from booking to customs clearance, a batch of Longquan celadon worth 800,000 yuan thus shortened the transit time by 11 days.

• Customs AEO Senior Certification Qualification
• At least 3 years of operation experience in the ceramic category
• Clearance ability in the destination country
• Have a cooperation laboratory for commodity testing
• Provide duty-paid price accounting services

With the upgrade of the "Single Window", intelligent customs declaration is changing the industry ecology. A certain enterprise directly connects the data such as the raw material origin and firing process of the restored Song Dynasty porcelain to the customs system through the blockchain traceability system, and the customs clearance efficiency has been improved by 40%. But this does not mean that traditional experience is devalued - The accuracy rate of machine recognition of glaze ingredients is only 82% at present and still requires manual review.

Looking at thefigure of the container ship from Dalian Port, those exquisite porcelains are carrying Chinese culture to the world.
