Do you know that 37% of craft beer is destroyed at the port every year due to customs clearance problems? When Belgian abbey beer meets the Chinese customs code 2203.00, a life - and - death race worth millions is unfolding. Our latest research shows that 83% of importers directly cause the non - deduction of 13% VAT due to ignoring the setting of the collection and payment on behalf subject! How can a professional agent break this dilemma in 3 steps?
Beer import needs to combine international trade practices and the particularity of the food industry, as follows:
I. Content of Agency Services
II. Standard operation process
Stage | Main work content | Key nodes |
---|---|---|
Pre - preparation | Sign an agency agreement Confirm product compliance (certificates for alcohol circulation management) Prepare the official health certificate of the producing country | Pre - review of Chinese labels passed |
Goods shipped | Review foreign merchants shipping documents (including filling date) Track the sea freight process | Obtain the original bill of lading |
Declaration upon arrival at the port | DeclarationImport Customs DeclarationDocuments (indicating malt concentration) Submit the alcohol import record form | Customs document review and release |
Inspection and supervision | Port sampling inspection (methanol, formaldehyde, etc.) Warehouse label pasting and rectification (if necessary) | Obtain the inspection and quarantine certificate |
Tax and fee settlement | Pay import - related taxes on behalf Settle advanced expenses (port miscellaneous/warehousing, etc.) | Complete foreign exchange verification |
Goods Delivery | Arrange cold - chain transportation Hand over the full set of customs clearance documents | Sign for confirmation and completion |
Special precautions:
The agent adopts the mode of collecting and paying on behalf throughout the process, accounts for the advanced payments through the other payables account, regularly provides a detailed list of import costs, and assists the principal in completing the deduction of import VAT. When you hold German pure - brewed beer but are stuck in the IPPC wooden packaging certification, or when the Spanish original factory health certificate lacks a Chinese translation, remember: the 1.5% service fee of a professional agent is not a cost, but the golden key to opening the Chinese beer market.
