Frozen vegetables exported to China_ Shenzhen Yantian Port customs clearance services

Practical operation points for pre-examination of labels for frozen vegetables exported to China

Shenzhen Yantian Port has opened a dedicated online Chinese label pre-trial channel for food goods such as frozen vegetables, providing merchants with a convenient pre-trial channel. You can submit pre-examination materials on the designated online platform by the customs 7 working days in advance, without having to queue up on site. This is a core key step and needs to be implemented as a priority before advancing the subsequent customs clearance process.

Attention should be paid to in practical operation: the label content should accurately mark core information such as origin, picking date, storage temperature, and shelf life to avoid being returned and modified due to vague expression or missing information; prepare customs clearance documents in advance to avoid supplementary parts, which can effectively shorten the pre-examination cycle.

When an overseas merchant in Shenzhen followed this process, it was returned for modification because the storage temperature was not marked. After the amendment, the second review was passed in only half a day-saving nearly 3 days compared with offline manual pre-review.

It is recommended to strictly follow the actual supervision requirements of China Customs, and China International Freight Forwarders can assist in document review.

Shenzhen Yantian Port has a priority inspection channel for temperature-controlled foods such as frozen vegetables. Goods can be applied for use if they meet the requirements of the specifications, and customs clearance efficiency can be increased by about 25%.

After customs clearance and release, you need to immediately pick up the cabinet and arrange domestic cold chain transportation and warehousing. Attention should be paid when lifting cabinets: carefully check the operating status of the refrigeration equipment to confirm whether the container temperature meets the requirements; if abnormalities are found, contact the staff in time to avoid deterioration of frozen vegetables due to temperature fluctuations.
