CUSTOMS & COMPLIANCE

Export Documentation:
Clear Borders, Not Block Them

Document errors are the #1 cause of customs delays and demurrage fees. We prepare, verify, and expedite every export document so your cargo clears borders smoothly—saving you from unnecessary delays and expensive losses.

Who Needs This Service?

If any of this sounds familiar, you are likely losing money to paperwork without even realizing it.

PROFILE 01

The First-Time Importer

Your supplier's commercial invoice lacks proper HS codes, clear product descriptions, or a Certificate of Origin. Your destination customs broker simply cannot clear the goods with non-compliant paperwork.

PROFILE 02

The Frequently Delayed Buyer

Your cargo keeps getting held up at destination customs. Every delay costs you port storage fees, missed sales, and unhappy clients. The root cause is almost always documents that don't precisely match the goods.

PROFILE 03

The CIS / Russia Shipper

You are shipping to Russia, Kazakhstan, or Azerbaijan. You need complex EAC certifications, GOST documents, or specific Form E/F certificates. Missing a single stamp means your cargo sits at the border for weeks.

THE REAL RISKS

What Bad Paperwork Actually Costs You

It is not just an administrative inconvenience — it is a direct hit to your profit margin.

COST 01

Demurrage & Storage Fees

When customs flags a discrepancy on the Packing List, your cargo sits at the terminal. While your supplier takes days to reissue the documents, you hemorrhage $75 to $200 a day in port demurrage and storage penalties.

COST 02

HS Code Misclassification

China strictly enforces 10-digit HS codes. Misclassification is penalized as duty evasion, resulting in seized cargo, severe fines, and your company being flagged for mandatory inspections on all future shipments.

COST 03

Lost Tariff Benefits

Without a properly drafted and timely submitted Certificate of Origin (e.g., Form A/E/F), you forfeit preferential trade tariffs, potentially adding thousands of dollars in unnecessary import duties to a single shipment.

What We Handle

We don't just "fill out forms." We cross-check every detail against Chinese export regulations and your destination country's strict import requirements.

CORE 01

Commercial Documents

Bilingual Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, and Sales Contracts that match Chinese export standards and your actual cargo — down to the exact weight, dimensions, and material specs.

  • Precise weight & dimension verification
  • Customs-compliant product descriptions
  • Discrepancy checks before container sealing
CORE 02

HS Code Classification

We verify your product specs against the latest GACC database to determine the exact 10-digit code — unlocking VAT export refunds and avoiding inspection triggers.

  • Precise 10-digit Chinese HS code mapping
  • Bilingual technical analysis for your broker
  • Export license & quota requirement checks
CORE 03

Official Certifications

We navigate local bureaus and chambers of commerce to secure the physically stamped, original certificates that your destination customs authority requires.

  • Certificate of Origin (CO, Form A/E/F)
  • EAC & GOST certificates for Russia & CIS
  • Embassy legalization & apostille services
OUR PROCESS

Documentation Workflow

We treat documentation with the exact same urgency as the physical cargo. Four precise steps, zero guesswork.

STEP 01

Analysis & Checklist

We review your product specs, supplier data, and destination requirements — then create a customized document checklist. You see exactly what is needed before anything is drafted.

STEP 02

Drafting & Cross-Check

We draft all documents and send them to you and your customs broker for verification prior to official submission. Errors get caught here on paper — not at the border.

STEP 03

Official Execution

We process everything through Chinese Customs, CCPIT, and relevant authorities to obtain official, stamped originals. We track each submission and follow up daily.

STEP 04

Secure Dispatch

Original physical copies are dispatched via DHL/FedEx with tracking to your office or broker, anywhere in the world. Digital scans are sent the moment they are ready.

Per document, per project, or per shipment. You know the exact cost before we start.
