The process of importing fall arrester equipment from China

The process of importing fall arrester equipment from China is as follows:

Confirm the specific requirements of the fall arrester equipment to be imported, including specifications, models, technical parameters, etc.

Find suitable Chinese suppliers, and you can screen and contact them through online platforms, industry exhibitions, etc.

Conduct business negotiations with suppliers to determine details such as price, delivery date, quality standards, and sign contracts.

Prepare the documents required for import customs declaration, which generally include:

Required documents: packing list, invoice, contract in one copy, customs declaration, and inspection letter of entrustment.

Other documents that may be required: If it is a wooden packaging box, a fumigation certificate and an IPPC stamp must be provided to show that it has been disinfected and insecticidal; different products may require special documents, such as import goods license, inspection and quarantine certificate, import goods approval documents, etc.; countries with tax exemptions and tariff reductions, please provide relevant country preferential certificates of origin; for certain specific equipment, 3C certificates may also be required (specific requirements depend on the type of fall arrester and relevant regulations).

Cargo transportation: Arrange the transportation of goods according to the transportation method agreed in the contract.

Import declaration: Take the arrival notice, original bill of lading or telex bill of lading provided by the customer to the shipping company to exchange bill fees, wharf fees, etc., in exchange for the import bill of lading. To declare import to the Chinese Customs, you need to fill in the import goods declaration form in the format specified by the customs, and attach relevant freight, commercial documents and certificates approving the import of goods.

Customs inspection: Except for those specially approved by the General Administration of Customs, all imported goods should be subject to customs inspection. The customs will check whether the contents reported in the customs declaration documents are consistent with the actual arrival of the goods, and examine whether the import of the goods is legal. During the inspection, the consignee, consignor or their agent of the goods must be present and be responsible for moving, unpacking and packing as required.

Pay taxes and fees: After the customs prints the tax bill, the taxes and fees must be paid within 7 working days. If the deadline is exceeded, the customs will charge a late payment fee on a daily basis.

Release and pick up: After completing the above steps, the customs will stamp the release stamp on the relevant documents, and the goods can be picked up or shipped at this time. After that, you need to go to the agency company in time to pay the customs declaration and inspection agency fees.

Notes:

The goods must be declared to the customs within 14 days after arriving at the port. If the deadline is exceeded, the customs will levy a late declaration fee on a daily basis (based on 0.5% of the value of the goods). If it exceeds three months, the customs will sell it as unclaimed goods.

The import documents (packing list, invoice, trade contract, etc.) must be consistent with the actual goods, and the name, weight, number of cubic meters and other information of the goods must be consistent.

Wooden packaging requires the IPPC mark on the wooden packaging; for goods imported from South Korea and Japan, non-wooden packaging certificates may also be required.

Some goods need to be pre-declared in advance, and the specific number of days in advance and the type of goods may vary depending on the region and policy.

For the import of old fall arrester equipment, there may be additional regulations and requirements, such as limiting the service life, requiring specific inspections, etc., and relevant policies need to be understood in advance.

The import process may vary depending on the specific situation and policy changes. It is recommended to consult a professional customs declaration agency or relevant department before importing to ensure the smooth completion of import procedures. At the same time, maintain good communication with suppliers to ensure the quality of goods and the accuracy and completeness of relevant documents.
