With daily customs clearance for all kinds of cargoes at China's many ports and airports, Promise Transportation stays up to date on China's Customs and Import regulations and has gained much first-hand experience in this area. Promise applies these information and experience into every service to our customers.

Our import services include:
Documentation preparation and inspection
Customs clearance,
Application for Duty Free Status
Bonded Trans-shipments
Inspection Supervision: the Commodity Inspection Bureau, the Plant & Animal Inspection Bureau, and the Tally Bureau.

Chinese Import Requirements
Required Documents. Packing list and commercial invoice are always required for all clearances; there can be some other documents required on the import of certain kinds of goods. For more information, please contact us.

Promise excels in the preparation and supervision of documentation. We work with suppliers in advance to make sure that all documents have been prepared correctly by the time of clearance.

Application of Duty and VAT
Most imports to China are subject to not only customs duties, but also the 17% VAT tax. It is possible to calculate the total amount of the duty to be paid by referring to the Customs issued tariff book.

Duty Free Application
Most foreign-invested enterprises are granted duty exemption on their imported capital equipment as part of the investment in China. Once a project has acquired duty free status, the enterprise must still apply for duty free status for each shipment of cargo prior to customs clearance. Once the documents have been collected, Promise will apply for duty free status on behalf of the client before the cargo arrives at the port, which will save much of our clients’ time.

Bonded Trans-shipments.
Bonded trans-shipments are complicated in that they require document transfer between two customs houses, usually by hand. Most local enterprises are required to clear customs with the local customs house. For enterprises located inland, this means that imports must be transshipped in bond to the job site. Promise coordinates transshipments, and works with the customs houses to ensure that document transfer is completed in an efficient and timely way.

Import Inspections
The Commodity Inspection Bureau has three separate functions relating to import procedures:
to check customs documentation prior to customs clearance;
to check whether goods are received damaged, or over-/short shipped;
to check whether the goods in a factory matches the value of the goods declared to customs.

The Plant & Animal Inspection Bureau has the responsibility to inspect and quarantine any cargo they suspect to be infested with pests. Besides foodstuffs, plants and animals, they also inspect all cargo packed in wooden boxes or crates.

The Tally Bureau is in charge of counting pieces of cargo or containers when they are discharged from the ship, noting any obvious damage that occurres before or during discharge. The tally report is the only report recognized by authorities certifying that damage occurred before the cargo is picked up by the receiver, the stevedores, or other port personnel.
Promise coordinates with all of the above agencies and appoints personnel to be present at all inspections.
