Before a shipment can enter the destination country and move to final delivery, it may need to pass through import customs clearance, product classification, customs valuation, duty and tax assessment, document review and, in some cases, physical inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CN-DELIVERY helps overseas buyers prepare shipment information in China and coordinate suitable international shipping and customs-clearance arrangements according to the selected route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact customs procedure depends on the product, destination country, declared value, importer requirements and shipping method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What Are Customs Duties?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs duties are import charges that may be collected when goods enter another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount can depend on factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HS code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays d'origine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays de destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applicable tariff rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trade agreements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-specific measures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-dumping or additional duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import exemptions where applicable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single worldwide customs-duty percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same product can have different duty treatment in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Canada or another destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Customs Duty Is Different From Import Tax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs duty and import tax are not always the same charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the destination, an import shipment may involve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import VAT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excise duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs processing fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brokerage charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-specific levies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-dumping duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other government charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a product may have a low customs-duty rate but still be subject to VAT or GST at import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact tax treatment must be determined according to the destination country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. What Is an HS Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most internationally traded products are classified using the Harmonized System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An HS code identifies the type of product being imported and helps customs determine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Applicable duty rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restrictions \u00e0 l'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required licenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statistical classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-specific controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preferential tariff treatment where available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vague description such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c Accessoires \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">may not provide enough information for accurate classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more specific description may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c Poign\u00e9es de meubles en acier inoxydable \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">or:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCotton knitted T-shirts\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">or:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLithium iron phosphate energy storage battery modules.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate product information helps reduce classification problems during customs clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Who Determines the Final HS Classification?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Product information may be reviewed before shipment, but the final customs classification is subject to the rules and decisions of the customs authority in the destination country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where classification is uncertain, the importer may need to obtain advice from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Local customs authority<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licensed customs broker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import consultant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax advisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relevant government authority<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For commercially significant shipments, an advance customs ruling may be appropriate in some jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. What Is Customs Value?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs value is the value customs authorities use when assessing duties and certain import taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many international shipments, customs valuation starts with the transaction value \u2014 generally the price actually paid or payable for goods sold for export \u2014 with adjustments required by the applicable customs rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the country, customs value may take into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product purchase price<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain commissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assists or materials supplied by the buyer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Royalties where applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other costs required under local valuation rules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The calculation is not identical in every country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. The Invoice Value Must Be Genuine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers should provide truthful commercial information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The declared value should reasonably reflect the actual commercial transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not recommend intentionally declaring an artificially low value simply to reduce customs duty or tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incorrect or unsupported declarations can lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revaluation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Penalties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documentation requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipment holds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seizure in serious cases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs authorities may request evidence supporting the declared value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. What Documents Can Support Customs Value?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the shipment, customs may request documents such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment record<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase order<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product specification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier quotation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketplace order record<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers should retain genuine purchase records for commercial shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Country of Origin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country of origin is another important customs factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For goods purchased and manufactured in China, the country of origin will often be China, but origin rules can become more complicated when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Components come from several countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Processing takes place in multiple countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goods are substantially transformed elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preferential trade agreements are involved<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country of origin can affect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duty rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preferential tariffs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-dumping duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product marking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restrictions \u00e0 l'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trade-remedy measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Commercial Invoice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A commercial invoice is one of the most important customs documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the shipment, it may contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seller information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buyer information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipper information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consignee information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Description du produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mod\u00e8le du produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valeur unitaire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valeur totale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays d'origine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incoterm where applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipping information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information on the invoice should correspond with the actual goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Packing List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A packing list provides physical shipment information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nombre de cartons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products in each carton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poids net<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poids brut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carton dimensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pallet information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mod\u00e8le du produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Package numbering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clear packing list helps customs, carriers and destination brokers understand how the shipment is organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Receiver and Consignee Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate receiver information is important before shipment leaves China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the country and service, we may need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Full name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nom de l'entreprise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adresse de livraison<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ville<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9tat ou province<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Code postal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Num\u00e9ro de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E-mail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax identification number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VAT number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EORI number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business registration information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Importer information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Requirements differ by destination and shipment type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Importer of Record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some shipments require a legally recognized importer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importer may be responsible for matters such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs declarations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product legality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HS classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs valuation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Imp\u00f4ts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record keeping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who can legally act as importer depends on the destination country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A foreign seller or logistics company cannot automatically act as importer in every country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly important when arranging DDP services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Personal Shipments vs Commercial Shipments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs treatment can differ between personal and commercial imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial shipments may require more information, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Importer registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detailed product descriptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licenses or certificates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shipment should not be described as a personal gift if it is actually a commercial purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Import VAT and GST<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many countries impose VAT, GST or another consumption tax on imported goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tax base may include more than the purchase price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on local rules, it can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other import-related expenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, EU import VAT rules generally use the customs value together with certain duties, taxes and incidental expenses when calculating the taxable amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicable rate must be checked for the actual destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Duty-Free Does Not Always Mean Tax-Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some products may have a customs-duty rate of zero but still be subject to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VAT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs processing charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brokerage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excise taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other local charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers should therefore not assume that \u201c0% duty\u201d means there will be no import cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Low-Value Shipment Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some countries provide simplified treatment or thresholds for low-value imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thresholds differ by country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VAT or GST may still apply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial shipments may be treated differently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain products may be excluded<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rules can change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We therefore review the actual shipment and destination rather than relying on a universal low-value threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Anti-Dumping and Additional Duties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some products may be subject to additional trade measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples can include certain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Metals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steel products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aluminum products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solar products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobilier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial components<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produits chimiques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other targeted goods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional duties can depend on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays d'origine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manufacturer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exporter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays de destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current trade-remedy measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These charges can be significantly higher than ordinary tariff duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For products potentially affected by anti-dumping or countervailing measures, specialist customs review may be necessary before shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Restricted Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some goods require additional import review or documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Piles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produits cosm\u00e9tiques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produits chimiques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liquides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poudres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrical products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children&#8217;s products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radio equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agricultural products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produits de marque<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products containing wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products containing animal materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acceptance for transportation does not automatically mean the product is legally importable into every destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Prohibited Goods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goods prohibited by the destination country cannot legally be imported simply by selecting another shipping route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Illegal drugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counterfeit products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain weapons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibited chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Illegal wildlife products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other products prohibited by local law<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers are responsible for providing accurate information about the goods they are purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Battery Shipments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lithium batteries and energy storage products require additional attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before transport or customs arrangements, information may be required such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Composition chimique des batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mod\u00e8le<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watt-hour rating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informations relatives au num\u00e9ro ONU 38.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FDS ou Fiche de donn\u00e9es de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 (FDS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product specification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packaging details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A battery being accepted by a transport route does not automatically guarantee import approval at destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transport compliance and import compliance are related but separate issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">21. Food Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food products may be subject to controls involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ingredients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shelf life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manufacturing information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labeling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergen information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food authority registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-specific restrictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warehouse inspection in China cannot replace food-safety approval by the destination authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before shipping commercial food products, import eligibility should be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">22. Furniture and Building Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furniture and building materials can have customs considerations involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Material type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wood species<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays d'origine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product composition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-dumping measures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatment certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packaging materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wooden products or wooden packaging may also be subject to phytosanitary or treatment requirements depending on the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">23. Clothing and Textiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For clothing and textiles, customs information may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Garment type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Textile composition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knit or woven construction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gender or intended user<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cat\u00e9gorie de produits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays d'origine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate composition information can be important because different textile products may fall under different tariff classifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">24. Customs Clearance Inspection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs authorities may select shipments for physical inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An inspection may involve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening cartons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Checking products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparing documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Checking quantity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirming classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing or sampling in some cases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs inspection is controlled by government authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither CN-DELIVERY nor the carrier can guarantee that a shipment will not be inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">25. Customs Clearance Delays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs delays can happen even when the shipment documents have been prepared correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible reasons include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incomplete importer information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Classification review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Value verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restrictions relatives aux produits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duty review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import permit issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak-season congestion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government-system delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broker requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documents compl\u00e9mentaires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transit-time estimates should therefore not be treated as guaranteed customs-clearance times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">26. Additional Documents Requested by Customs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If customs requests additional information, the importer or shipper may need to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof of payment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product specification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informations sur les mat\u00e9riaux<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photos des produits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website listing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informations sur le fabricant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certification documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import permits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers should respond promptly to documentation requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">27. Customs Revaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs authorities may question a declared value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the declared value is rejected, customs may determine another value according to applicable valuation rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can result in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Additional duties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delayed clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requests for commercial evidence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing accurate documentation from the beginning reduces avoidable problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">28. Customs Classification Disputes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs may classify a product differently from the classification expected by the shipper or importer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A classification change can affect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restrictions relatives aux produits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional duties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For high-value or recurring imports, customers may wish to obtain professional classification advice or an advance ruling where available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">29. Customs Storage Charges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If goods remain at a port, airport, terminal, customs warehouse or carrier facility for an extended period, additional costs may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demurrage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terminal charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warehouse fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs inspection handling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-delivery fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These charges are not automatically included in every freight quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">30. Problems Caused by Receiver Delays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional costs may arise if the receiver fails to provide required information or complete import formalities on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En voici quelques exemples :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Missing tax number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect company information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure to respond to customs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure to provide import license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refusal to pay charges under a non-DDP shipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect delivery address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure to accept delivery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important that the receiver remains available during customs clearance and final delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">31. Customs Rejection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some situations, customs may refuse entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible outcomes can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Return to origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-export<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destruction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abandonment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seizure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The available option depends on the reason for rejection and destination-country rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costs associated with these actions can be substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">32. DDP Shipping and Customs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CN-DELIVERY can arrange DDP shipping on supported routes when the product and destination qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DDP generally means the agreed service is structured so the shipment reaches the named destination after import-clearance arrangements and applicable duty\/tax responsibilities have been handled according to the confirmed service scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the ICC Incoterms\u00ae DDP rule, the seller carries a very high level of responsibility, including import clearance and applicable duties and taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In actual logistics operations, however, the exact method depends on destination-country rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">33. DDP Is Not Identical in Every Country<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some countries restrict whether a foreign company can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Act as importer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register for VAT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay import VAT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete customs formalities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain importer registration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, DDP should only be offered after confirming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type de r\u00e9cepteur<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipment value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available logistics route<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs arrangement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DDP quotation should clearly state what is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">34. What Our DDP Quotation May Include<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the confirmed route, a DDP quotation may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manutention en entrep\u00f4t en Chine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transport \u00e0 l'exportation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export customs handling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fret international<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destination customs-clearance arrangements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traitement des droits d'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traitement des droits d'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destination transport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Livraison du dernier kilom\u00e8tre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact inclusions are stated in the confirmed quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">35. What May Not Be Included in a DDP Quote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extraordinary or unexpected costs may fall outside a standard DDP quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs penalties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect declaration penalties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs storage caused by document delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special inspections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laboratory testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licences d'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certification costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extraordinary customs examinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receiver-caused re-delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Address changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special unloading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Services de chariots \u00e9l\u00e9vateurs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extraordinary remote-area costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quotation and service terms should be reviewed before shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">36. Non-DDP Shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CN-DELIVERY can also arrange shipping where the receiver handles import customs clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the route, the customer or consignee may be responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Import clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VAT or GST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs broker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licences d'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local government charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may be appropriate for experienced importers that already have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customs brokers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import registrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negotiated customs arrangements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">37. DDP vs DAP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under DDP, import clearance and applicable import duties\/taxes are generally the seller&#8217;s responsibility under the Incoterms\u00ae framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under DAP, the seller arranges transportation to the named destination, but the buyer is responsible for import clearance and import duties\/taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right choice depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pays de destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buyer experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import registrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type de produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial agreement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">38. Why Customs Costs Can Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early customs estimate may differ from the final amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible reasons include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HS code changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs reclassification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Declared value changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Actual invoice value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight inclusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Currency conversion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-dumping measures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs revaluation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product-specific charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, preliminary estimates should not be treated as guaranteed government assessments unless the relevant arrangement specifically fixes those costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">39. Currency Conversion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs authorities may convert commercial values into the destination country&#8217;s currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may use an official customs exchange rate rather than the rate shown by a retail bank or online currency converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can affect the final taxable customs value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">40. Incoterms and Customs Responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial terms such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>EXW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FCA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FOB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CIF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CPT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DAP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DDP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">help define responsibilities between buyer and seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Incoterms do not override destination-country customs law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customs authority determines whether the proposed import structure is legally acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">41. What Customers Should Provide Before Shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help us review customs and shipping requirements, customers should provide as much accurate information as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Useful information includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nom du produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product link<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photos des produits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intended use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase price<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pays de destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destination postal code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receiver information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company information where applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery information if applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certifications where relevant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More complete information allows us to identify potential problems before international shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">42. Do Not Hide the True Product Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shipment should not be deliberately described as another type of product simply to obtain a cheaper freight rate or lower customs duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, batteries should not be declared as ordinary plastic accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food should not be declared as household goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial products should not automatically be declared as gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate product descriptions protect the shipment and the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">43. Do Not Assume the Supplier Has Checked Import Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Chinese supplier may understand manufacturing and domestic shipping but may not understand the customs rules in the buyer&#8217;s country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before a large order is shipped internationally, the buyer should confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Import eligibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licences d'importation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Label requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxes and duties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially important for regulated goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">44. Customs Review Before Goods Leave China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One advantage of using our China warehouse is that shipment information can be reviewed while the goods are still in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before international shipping, we can coordinate checks involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Description du produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emballage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9tiquettes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dimensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipping route<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available DDP solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs-information requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an obvious problem is identified, it may be easier to communicate with the supplier before the goods leave China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">45. Multiple Suppliers and Customs Documentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When goods come from multiple Chinese suppliers, the final international shipment may contain products purchased from several sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warehouse can consolidate the physical goods, but customs documentation must still accurately describe what is inside the shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final packing and commercial information may need to identify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Different product types<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Values<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Countries of origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HS classifications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consolidation does not remove customs-declaration requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">46. Customs and Repacking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repacking can reduce unnecessary shipping volume, but it does not change the legal identity or customs value of the goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removing supplier cartons does not mean the products can be declared differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customs declaration should continue to reflect the actual products being imported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">47. Customs and Samples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samples may still be subject to customs procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word \u201csample\u201d does not automatically make goods duty-free or tax-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs treatment can depend on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantit\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type de produit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intended use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destination rules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial samples should be described accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">48. Customs and Gifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marking a commercial shipment as a \u201cgift\u201d does not automatically eliminate import duty or tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gift exemptions normally have specific conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goods purchased from suppliers for business, resale or commercial use should not be falsely described as personal gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">49. Final Customs Authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CN-DELIVERY can help coordinate shipment preparation, transport routes and customs-clearance arrangements, but the final authority for import decisions is the customs and regulatory authority of the destination country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government authorities may determine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Classification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admissibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final release<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No freight forwarder can legally guarantee that customs will never inspect a shipment or request additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">50.
