Imported screen glass for mobile phones

Alkali-containing glass imports: Saved customers 13% in taxes and duties.

The provisional import tariff rate is a more favorable tax treatment applied by the state to certain key raw materials and electromechanical products used in industrial and agricultural production. Alkaline glass for mobile phones is one such product eligible for this preferential rate. However, without a clear understanding of its manufacturing process, compositional content, and other relevant factors, you could end up paying taxes and duties that are more than ten percentage points higher than those of your peers. Our company’s dedicated customs‑clearance team, when clients are uncertain about a product’s HS code, zeroes in on the critical details and, drawing on over a decade of specialized expertise, provides professional, compliance‑oriented advice. For instance, an optical‑equipment firm in Shenzhen had long been burdened by excessively high tax liabilities until it engaged our services. After we took over, we thoroughly reviewed all of the client’s documentation and determined that the product qualified for the preferential tariff rate.

Clothing import and export

China is a major exporter in the textile industry, and its apparel export trade has grown rapidly.

In recent years, in response to their growth needs, companies have increasingly abandoned the traditional practice of using trading firms as agents for import and export, opting instead for self‑managed import and export operations. However, lacking practical experience in customs clearance, many struggle with unclear requirements for apparel imports and exports, leading to various operational challenges. In fact, only certain types of imports require commodity inspection and an entry‑clearance certificate; upon receiving a client’s documentation, our company categorizes shipments and files declarations based on the specific circumstances. After engaging our services, a clothing company in Dongguan resolved a series of issues and has maintained a long‑term partnership, remarking that they had indeed chosen the right customs brokerage firm.

Red wine importation

A wine import‑export company in Shenzhen, newly established in 2015, had virtually no prior expertise in wine import and export. Despite its strong financial resources and a comprehensive product portfolio, it struggled to find a suitable customs brokerage partner. After extensive research, the company turned to us. We distilled three key lessons for the client, which enabled us to successfully complete its first batch of wine imports.

1. Screen high-quality overseas suppliers to ensure efficient approval of commodity inspection filings.

2. Ensure proper filing of all relevant documentation, including warehouse and label requirements, in accordance with the pre‑shipment inspection requirements of domestic declaring entities.

3. Benefit from customs clearance facilitation measures and enjoy the fast-track release channel.

Since the first batch of goods cleared customs without incident, the two parties have maintained cooperation to this day.

Customs declaration for rubber granules

A trading company in Shenzhen engaged our firm to file a customs declaration with the Huanggang Customs for PC/ABS pellets of a certain brand, model AC2300. During the review of the declaration details provided by the company, our customs declarant identified that the stated composition—28% PC and 68% ABS—contradicted the tariff classification under heading 390740000. After verifying with the company’s operator, it was confirmed that the pellet composition was correct; the error lay in the operator’s submission of an incorrect tariff code. The correct classification should have been 3903309000. Further investigation revealed that, when importing this same model of pellets into Guangzhou, the company had consistently used the 390740000 code and benefited from ECFA‑based duty exemption. Given the 6.5% tariff differential between these two classifications, our firm issued a risk warning to the company. Subsequently, the company recognized the seriousness of the issue and promptly corrected its filing to mitigate potential customs‑clearance risks.

The company was highly satisfied with our expertise and, following six months of collaboration, recommended us to its industry peers.

Packaging material shipment

At a factory in Dongguan, packaging materials are produced and shipped strictly according to customer orders, typically through assembly-line operations with minimal inventory. This places extremely high demands on the timeliness of customs declaration and clearance. When the client approached us, their primary request was for faster, more accurate customs brokerage services. Our dedicated customs‑clearance team accepted the assignment and consistently delivered swift, top‑quality service, earning high praise from the client. Over three years of close collaboration, we have resolved most of their concerns, enabling the factory to significantly increase its production output.
