HS Code Accuracy Verification

Incorrect tariff classification is the single most common cause of customs penalties and retrospective duty assessments. Our licensed classifiers cross-check your HS code against China Customs' latest tariff schedule, GACC regulations, and destination country import rules —before a single form is filed.

  • Dual-check by licensed customs broker and compliance specialist
  • Covers both Chinese export code and destination import code
  • Written classification record retained for 5 years

Regulatory Document Verification

Missing or incorrect compliance certificates are a leading cause of port holds. We verify that every required document is present, valid, and correctly formatted before submission —including CCC certification for electronics, phytosanitary certificates for agricultural goods, and certificates of origin for preferential tariff treatment.

  • CCC, CE, FDA, and destination-country certification checks
  • Certificate of Origin (Form A, EUR.1, CO) preparation and verification
  • Packing lists, commercial invoices, and B/L cross-validation

Customs Inspection Response Protocol

When customs selects a shipment for physical or documentary inspection, the first 24 hours are critical. Our dedicated inspection response team has handled thousands of examination cases across Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou, and Tianjin —with established contacts at each port's supervision authority.

  • 24-hour on-call inspection liaison team
  • Pre-prepared inspection response documentation package
  • Direct authority contacts at all major Chinese ports

Intellectual Property Pre-Screening

Customs seizures for IP infringement have increased significantly since 2020. Before accepting a consignment, we screen goods against China Customs' IP protection record and advise on documentation requirements —protecting both your shipment and your trade record.

  • Cross-reference with China Customs IP protection registry
  • Brand authorization letter review and verification
  • Guidance on customs IP recordal for brand owners
