Customs Clearance Process of Red Wine Import
1. Purchase red wine and arrange shipment to import port. For China importer, CIF would be the best choice. Normally, we handle FOB or CIF. Better not take EXW as it requires China importer pick up goods and do export declaration which always means hassle, trouble and cost increase
2. Red wine arrival -docoment enchanging - pay fees.
3. Customs inspection - get entry certificate. The supervision condition for red wine is A/B, which means red wine should take legal examination. Normally it takes 2-3 working days to get entry certificate.
4. Customs clearance. China Customs mainly check documents, appraise goods value and examine goods. The inspeciton rate for general importing goods is 80%, especially for the first-time import goods. Customs official may issue inspection order to examine goods after documents review. Normally, the inspection is about the actual existence and the authenticity of the goods. The official makes inspection report and submit it to the official who is responsible for the final document examination. And then follows appraisal of price. (As prices is relevant to taxes, many importer wonder whether we can declare lower price so as to save taxes. Better not. We suggest you truthfully report goods price and do not risk taking chances. Remember, when it comes to prices, customs officials know much more than you. Actually, they can simply check it out throught system. A delay to customs clearance will easily occur because a false or concealed declared price.) In the end, the tax form comes out, the importer pays it, and China customs release goods.
5. It is not yet done. Here comes sampling test by Inspection Bureau. We need to drag container(s) to customs supervision warehouse from the port and pick up inspection official to carry the test. Normally, three bottles will be drawn from each variety. BTW, the customs official also draw samples when porforming inspection. The samples will be sent to specialized laboratory for test. And all we need to do is waiting the result.
6. Examination of label archival filing - making label. Many clients ask: can we paste label while waiting the sampling test result? Again, better not - espcially when there are lot of varieties. We concern that the test result is not the same as declared. And wine grape varieties might easily go wrong. Here comes the questions? How many red wine varieties are there ? Well, many people are used to call grape wine as red wine. So put it right, how many grape wine varieties are there? - dry, half-dry, white, half-white. And dry grape wine is divided into dry red, dry white and so on. But sometimes your privider may sell half-dry grape wine as dry wine to you, which leads to the test result is different from the declared varieties. In this case, you need to re-paste, which increases costs and brings hassles. So, better paste label when the test result has come out.
7. After inspection official check the labels, the goods can be sent to the appointed desitionation. And finally, the red wine import customs clearance is completed.
PS: since it takes relatively long time to clear red wine. So better apply longer rent-free period before booking to avoid high container detention charge.
