Imported screen glass for mobile phones

Imported alkali-containing glass: Helps customers save 13% on taxes.

The provisional import tariff rate is a more favorable tax applied by the state to certain key raw materials for industrial and agricultural production, as well as mechanical and electrical products imported into the country. Alkali-containing glass used in mobile phones is one of the products eligible for this provisional import tariff. However, without a clear understanding of their processing methods and component content—among other relevant factors—you could inadvertently face tax liabilities that are more than ten percentage points higher than those of your industry peers. Our professional customs team excels at identifying critical details when clients are uncertain about product commodity codes. Leveraging over a decade of specialized expertise, we provide clients with professional, compliant advice. Take, for instance, an optical company based in Shenzhen, which had long been troubled by excessive tax burdens until they turned to our services. After we took over their case, we meticulously reviewed all their documentation and discovered that their products indeed qualified for the preferential tariff rate!

Import and Export of Apparel

China is a major exporter in the textile industry, with its apparel export trade experiencing rapid growth.

In particular, in recent years, enterprises have increasingly abandoned the traditional practice of using trading companies as agents for import and export activities, opting instead to handle their own import and export operations. However, due to their lack of practical experience in import and export customs clearance, many companies remain unclear about the specific requirements for clothing imports and exports, leading to various operational challenges. In fact, commercial inspection and entry clearance documents are only required for certain types of imports. After receiving client information, our company carefully categorizes and submits declarations based on the actual situation. A clothing company based in Dongguan recently turned to us, successfully resolving a series of issues they faced. After years of collaboration, they confidently affirm that they have indeed chosen the right customs brokerage firm!

Import of Red Wine

A certain wine import and export company in Shenzhen, having been established only in 2015, had virtually no prior knowledge or expertise in wine import and export operations. Despite its strong financial resources and comprehensive product inventory, the company struggled to find a suitable customs brokerage partner. After extensive research and multiple inquiries, they ultimately turned to us. We provided the client with the following three key insights, successfully assisting them in completing their first batch of wine imports.

1. Select high-quality overseas suppliers to ensure efficient approval of commodity inspection and filing.

2. Properly complete the filing procedures for warehouses, labels, and other requirements related to pre-shipment inspection mandated by domestic reporting entities.

3. Implement customs clearance facilitation measures and enjoy the fast-track channel for customs release.

Since the smooth clearance of the first batch of goods, both parties have maintained cooperation up to the present day.

Granule Customs Declaration

A trading company in Shenzhen has entrusted our company to declare PC/ABS granules, model AC2300, of a certain brand, to the Huanggang Customs in Shenzhen. During the review of the declaration details provided by the client, our customs broker noticed that the reported composition—28% PC and 68% ABS—contradicted the classification under HS code 390740000. After verifying with the company’s operator, it was confirmed that the actual composition of the granules was accurate; the discrepancy arose from an incorrect HS code being provided by the operator. The correct HS code should be 3903309000. Further investigation revealed that when the company initially imported this type of granule into Guangzhou, they had consistently used HS code 390740000 and benefited from ECFA preferential tariff exemptions. However, this approach resulted in a tariff difference of 6.5%, which could have led to significant financial implications. In response, our company promptly issued a risk alert to the enterprise, highlighting the potential consequences of such errors. Recognizing the seriousness of the issue, the company immediately took corrective actions to mitigate any possible customs clearance risks.

The company was highly satisfied with our firm's professionalism. After six months of collaboration, they recommended us to their industry peers.

Shipment of packaging materials

The packaging materials produced at a certain factory in Dongguan are manufactured exclusively based on customer orders, typically through streamlined production processes that prioritize timely delivery without accumulating excess inventory.

After our professional customs team took on this task, we consistently delivered the fastest and most reliable service, earning high praise from the client.
