Guangzhou Olive Oil Customs Clearance and Freight

Key Obstacles in Olive Oil Import Clearance

Importing olive oil to Guangzhou involves navigating strict Chinese food safety regulations, precise tariff classification, and timely inspections. Common issues include: missing phytosanitary certificates, incorrect HS code classification, and delays in entry-exit inspections. These can disrupt supply chains if not managed proactively.

For example, a client once encountered a 4-day hold due to an incomplete certificate of origin. Our pre-review system identified the gap and ensured all documents were resubmitted correctly within 24 hours.

Our Streamlined Clearance Process

Our approach to olive oil customs clearance in Guangzhou includes:

• Document Precision Check: We meticulously review commercial invoices, packing lists, and origin certificates 24 hours prior to submission, ensuring compliance with China’s General Administration of Customs requirements.

• Tariff Optimization: Leveraging our 10+ years of experience with food imports, our experts accurately classify olive oil under the correct HS code, minimizing tariff discrepancies.

• Inspection Acceleration: We coordinate with Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to schedule inspections promptly, often reducing inspection time from 8 hours to 4 hours for olive oil shipments.

Take a UK-based olive oil importer as an example: they faced a 6-day delay due to document mismatches. Our team corrected the HS code classification and resubmitted documents, reducing their clearance time to 3 days.
