Is the customs declaration process for cashews too complicated? Veteran importers in Changsha teach you how to avoid pitfalls

Ms. Li, who was working overtime late at night, tore open a pack of Vietnamese cashews, and the crispy sound was particularly clear in the office. Who would have thought that this tiny nut had gone through the arduous tests of transnational shipping, tariff negotiations, and customs declaration documents? Today, let's unveil the mystery of the cashew import customs declaration agents in Changsha.

When cashews from Thailand or Vietnam are ready to set off, the customs declaration experts at Zhongshitong have already initiated full-process tracking:

• Preliminary Examination of the Place of Origin: Verify 12 documents such as phytosanitary certificates and certificates of origin to avoid the embarrassment of "the goods arriving at the port but the documents being held up"
• Accurate Tariff Calculation: Utilize the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement to reduce the tax rate from 20% to 0 - 5%, saving up to 30,000 yuan per container
• Label Modification: Adjust the outer packaging according to the GB 7718 standard, and even the font size of "Best Before Date See Seal" matters

Last year, due to his lack of understanding of the rules, Mr. Zhang had 200,000 yuan worth of cashews detained at the port for 37 days:

• Mistakenly declared roasted cashews as "deep-processed products", triggering additional quarantine inspections
• Failed to pre-register for the filing of consignees of imported foods (with the customs code starting with D)
• Neglected the temperature control during shipping, resulting in moldy disputes and claims for some containers

Now, through the Zhongshitong Cloud Customs Declaration System, you can scan the QR code to view in real-time:

• Which customs inspection yard the goods are in (Xianing / Huanghua Airport)
• The latest applicable tax rate (including the dynamic adjustment of RCEP)
• The estimated release time accurate to the hour

The next time you enjoy the cashews with exotic flavors, you might as well think about this sophisticatedly operating trade system behind them.
