American cosmetics import cases
This case is an import trading company in Shanghai that needs to import a batch of cosmetics from the United States to Shanghai. After preliminary communication, the customer chose to entrust SPEED to provide international logistics, import logistics, domestic customs clearance, domestic logistics and other services.
The first difficulty in this case lies in obtaining approval documents. Due to the need to prepare a large amount of materials in the early stage, time and money are very expensive. This batch of cosmetics consists of 30 product names, all of which are ordinary skincare products. Therefore, we have already completed the approval documents in advance.
Filing before the arrival of goods at the port: Cosmetics filing is different from food and other filing. It is necessary to download the "Electronic Supervision System for Imported Cosmetics Enterprise Remote Declaration System" for registration, download the form, fill in the content according to the form prompts, and import the form for filing. In addition, the Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau needs to submit paper documents, filing forms, business licenses, organizational code certificates, notarized authorization letters, approvals, etc.
After the goods arrived at the port, they began to be declared. As the customer was importing for the first time and there was no import record of this company in the customs system, the initial approval was stricter. Some products were also subjected to manual price review, and the original price was finally passed through the operation of Yunjintong. Before customs release, on-site inspections were also conducted; Of course, our focus in the customs clearance process is on the labeling aspect. We review, label, record, and conduct spot checks on the pre prepared labeling materials, which are the same as for food. After labeling, we release the product, wait for the testing results, and wait for the hygiene certificate.
