Guangzhou Import Services for Stone & Mineral Raw Materials: Efficient Clearance and Shipping

Challenges in Importing Stone & Mineral Raw Materials to Guangzhou

Importing stone and mineral raw materials to China involves specific hurdles. Over the past year, we identified the top issues as:

• Complex customs classification for various rock types (e.g., granite vs. limestone)

• Stringent environmental and safety inspections required for mineral products

• Documentation gaps related to import licenses and quality certifications

For instance, a Middle Eastern company importing gypsum faced a 5-day delay due to missing environmental compliance documents. Our team quickly assisted in obtaining the necessary permits, ensuring smooth clearance.

Our Streamlined Clearance Process for Stone & Mineral Cargo

1. Pre-submission Document Check: Within 24 hours of receiving your documents, our experts verify import licenses, product specifications, and quality certificates. For a US-based company importing quartz, we spotted a minor error in the packing list and corrected it immediately, avoiding a potential delay.

2. Customs Classification Precision: Leveraging our in-depth knowledge of China’s tariff regulations, we accurately classify stone and mineral products. This year, we’ve correctly classified over 200 different rock types, ensuring no tariff disputes.

3. Inspection Coordination: We work closely with Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to schedule inspections at your convenience. For a South African chrome ore importer, we arranged an on-site inspection within 24 hours, reducing the total inspection period to 3 hours.

Our partnership with Guangzhou Nansha Port and Huangpu Port allows us to handle large-volume mineral shipments efficiently. In the first half of 2025, we processed over 150 stone and mineral raw material imports, maintaining a 97% on-time clearance rate.
