Guangzhou Clearance Case: Used Press Moulding Machine from Taiwan
Seahog has been regularly handling the import clearance of used machines and second-hand equipment. Here comes a recent case. Seahog Guangzhou team helped clear one used press moulding machine for PCB industry via Nansha port Guangzhou. This used machine, originated in Japan was shipped from Taiwan, China. Before shipping the pre-shipment inspection was executed and the certificate was obtained, and all paperwork was well prepared, so the declarations were immediately made when the customs manifest was available. The whole process was all handled quickly and smoothly, including the price verification and the inspection sections. The client was very happy with our services, as pictured are the relevant customs declaration sheet and a picture which was taken when the used machine was about to un-veiled for the inspection.
