Customs Clearance for Foodstuffs Import to China

Grasping Food Import Customs Clearance Hurdles

When bringing food into China, key obstacles involve verifying product compliance with Chinese regulations, ensuring proper labeling, and submitting precise documentation. For example, dairy products such as adult milk powder or liquid milk demand specific certifications and origin checks.

Our Approach to Food Import Clearance

We focus on managing food imports, making use of our over 10 years of experience at Guangzhou ports. Our team examines all documents related to food imports, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. For instance, for a US-based importer of frozen meat, we collaborated with the Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to ensure all inspection requirements were met efficiently.

We also aid in commodity classification, a crucial step in food import clearance. Our customs experts are well-versed in Chinese regulations, ensuring accurate classification to steer clear of delays or penalties. Take the case of a UK importer of tea products; we helped them correctly categorize their tea varieties, accelerating the clearance process by 2 days.
