What checks should be done before the equipment is reported to the customs?

There are a series of key inspections to be carried out before the equipment is reported to the customs. First, accurately confirm the equipment information, including the name, model, specification, quantity, manufacturing date and country of origin, lock the customs code, clearly understand the tax rate and regulatory conditions, and self inspect whether the enterprise has import qualification.

Pre shipment inspection is extremely important, especially for old equipment. Contact the professional inspection agency to check whether the appearance is damaged and whether the performance is qualified. The safety signs, health conditions, noise, dust and other indicators in operation must meet the standards. The pre shipment inspection certificate can be issued only after they are qualified.

Then, check the license according to the equipment category. For example, the import license of key used mechanical and electrical products must be handled in advance. Also carefully check the import contract, invoice, packing list and other documents to ensure that they are consistent with the actual equipment. Finally, prepare documents proving the value of the equipment to facilitate the customs' price review and ensure smooth customs clearance.
