How A Laboratory Equipment was Cleared and Imported by Shenzhen Customs Broker

 Along with the scientific technology development, our country has huge breakthroughs at many high-tech industries. But we are still relatively weak in some technology areas, and some laboratory equipment still relies on importation. Our Shezhen customs broker team recently helped import a laboratory equipment called Test & Evaluating Device for Fuel Cells. As pictured you can see the China Customs Declaration Sheet for the device. 

Based on this case, we would like to share the import flow of laboratory equipment.

1.Check the details of the equipment, and confirm the HS code based on its functions and working principles and the customs supervision condition

2.Check if the equipment new or used. Most used laboratory equipment shall accept pre-shipment inspection. And some shall obtain automatic import license. 

3.Arrange shipping to China 

4.The China customs agent exchanges D/O after shipment arrival and make declarations to China customs.

5.The importer settles tax payment when the tax bills are issued after the declared price passed customs verification.

6.Customs inspections 

7.Check if destination inspection is needed. If needed, shall contact the Territorial customs to carry on the inspection.

 Auto parts are mainly divided into three categories：engine power composition and the accessories, chassis and the accessories, body parts and accessories. The three main categories can be further subdivided as an automobile are assembled by more than 20,000 individual spare parts which involve lots of varieties. RenFan, a China customs broker with over 25 years of experience in handling import customs clearance for all kinds of commodities, including of course auto parts. 

As below you can see a China Customs Declaration Sheet for a shipment with auto parts made in USA.  RenFan’s Guangzhou customs agent helped clear the in Guangzhou Nansha port. The applied HS codes include 8708999990(with 6% import duty , 13% value added tax ),  8708801000(with 6% import duty , 13% value added tax), 8544302090(with 10% import duty , 13% value added tax, and 15% extra import duty for goods of USA origin ), and 8409919990(5% import duty , 13% value added tax) . Based on this case, RenFan would like to share more about getting auto parts imported into China as below.

Used auto parts are banned from importing into China. So this first step of the importation of auto parts is to make sure they are new. The second step is to let the China customs broker  check and confirm HS codes of each auto part based on the names and check the required documents for customs clearance. The importation of auto parts involves several documents for different parts, like CCC certificate ( for tyres,  brake hoses, locking machines, hinges, automotive lighting and other vision devices, auto seats, safety belts, SRS system ), automatic import license (for engines and chassis ), and safety performance test report for (automotive aluminium alloy hubs),

The import flow: place order → provide accurate packing list → ask China customs agent check HS codes → obtain required documents → Shipment arrival → China customs declaration → arrange tax payment → inspection → customs release
