Efficient Frozen Seafood and Products Import Clearance for China

Common Hurdles in Frozen Seafood Import Clearance to China

For frozen product importers, typical issues include: lengthy quarantine inspections, missing health certificates, and misclassification of products. A US-based importer of frozen fish once spent 5 days waiting for quarantine results because their product’s classification wasn’t correctly submitted. Such delays not only increase storage costs but also risk product spoilage.

Our solution starts with a customs declaration pre-review for frozen goods. Within 24 hours of receiving your documents, our team checks for compliance with China’s Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine regulations. For a client from Thailand importing frozen squid, we identified a missing health certificate in advance, avoiding a 3-day delay and ensuring smooth clearance.

Our Tailored Clearance Process for Frozen Products

1. Document Verification: We verify all documents, including health certificates, product origin, and classification. For frozen shrimp, we ensure the certificate matches the species and country of origin.

2. Quarantine Coordination: Our team works directly with Guangzhou’s quarantine bureau to schedule inspections efficiently. For a Canadian importer of frozen crab, we coordinated an inspection within 2 hours of submission, reducing wait time by 60%.

3. Real-Time Tracking: You’ll receive updates via SMS or email on the status of your frozen goods, from submission to release.

This process leverages our 10 years of experience with frozen product imports. In the past year, we’ve handled over 150 frozen seafood shipments, achieving a 92% on-time clearance rate for such goods, thanks to our in-depth understanding of China’s strict quarantine policies for perishable items.
