After the goods are dispatched, we will promptly provide you with the tracking number and the estimated time of arrival. We will also send the necessary customs clearance documents — such as the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and insurance policy — to assist you in completing the clearance process at the destination port.
Important Notes for Customs Clearance:
1. 3-7 days before the goods arrive at the port, the seller will send the necessary customs clearance documents to the buyer or the buyer’s agent.
2. Customs clearance documents usually include:
3. Commercial Invoice: The amount, description, and HS code must be accurate.
4. Packing List: Detailed information on quantity, weight, volume, and packaging method.
5. Bill of Lading: The consignee information must match the invoice.
6. Certificate of Origin (CO), product certifications, etc., may be required depending on the destination country’s regulations.
7. Ensure consistency between all documents; otherwise, customs clearance may be delayed or the goods may be seized.
8. Customs policies vary significantly between countries; buyers are advised to understand their country’s customs clearance policies in advance.
9. After the goods arrive at the port, customs usually provides a free storage period (ranging from 3 to 7 days), after which high fees will be incurred.
