So Many Tricks in Coffee Powder Import Customs Clearance? Did You Know?

Coffee, as a globally popular beverage, is loved by many for its rich aroma and unique flavor. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for various coffee products has been growing, and the import volume of coffee powder has been steadily increasing. However, the customs clearance process for coffee powder imports has become a headache for many importers. Today, we will provide a detailed introduction to Zhongshitong's coffee powder import customs clearance agency services.

First, before the goods arrive at the port, importers need to complete a series of preparatory work. Importers must sign trade contracts with foreign suppliers to ensure clear terms regarding product quality, quantity, etc. At the same time, relevant documents such as packing lists, invoices, contracts, and bills of lading must be provided. Zhongshitong has extensive experience in this area and can assist importers in organizing these documents in advance to avoid delays in customs clearance due to incomplete documentation.

After the goods arrive at the port, the first step is to exchange the original bill of lading for a delivery order, which is the key document for picking up the goods. Next, inspection and quarantine procedures are carried out. The inspection and quarantine department will examine the quality, labeling, etc., of the coffee powder to ensure compliance with China's food safety standards. For example, microbial indicators and the use of additives in coffee powder must meet regulations. Zhongshitong is familiar with the inspection process and standards and can pre-review labels and other details to ensure smooth passage through inspection.

After inspection and quarantine, the customs declaration process begins. Detailed information about the goods, including commodity codes, prices, and origin, must be declared to customs. Customs will review the declared content and may conduct inspections. If the declared price does not match the customs-assessed price, disputes may arise. With its professional expertise, Zhongshitong can ensure reasonable declarations to minimize such risks. After paying tariffs and value-added taxes, the goods can be released, completing the customs clearance process.

First, labeling issues. Coffee powder labels must comply with China's regulations, such as including Chinese labels with product names, ingredient lists, production dates, and shelf life information. Many importers are unfamiliar with labeling standards, leading to delays due to corrections. Zhongshitong offers professional label design and review services to ensure approval on the first attempt.

Second, documentation issues. Some importers may face customs clearance delays due to missing or incorrectly filled-out documents, such as errors in certificates of origin. Zhongshitong will inform importers in advance about required documents and filling requirements and assist in reviewing them to avoid such problems.

Third, inspection and quarantine failures. If the quality of coffee powder does not meet China's standards, it may face return or destruction. Zhongshitong will assist importers in ensuring product quality before the goods arrive at the port to guarantee smooth passage through inspection and quarantine.
