Issue Date:2025-01-10

 

 

 

 

I. Standardized Declaration Requirements for Exports

When exporting newly manufactured containers, the first step is to ensure standardized declaration. Export enterprises can submit declarations to customs through the Single Window system for international trade. When declaring, attention should be paid to categorizing containers under different tariff No. based on their type and functional characteristics, ensuring the application of the standardized declaration requirements.

When declaring, the enterprise needs to provide a series of detailed information about the product, including commodity name, brand (Chinese or foreign name), model and purpose.

II. Pay Attention to the Technical Requirements of Importing Countries

 

 

 

 

As container production expands, countries are increasingly focusing on the environmental issues it causes. For instance, traditional coatings used in container manufacturing emit volatile organic compounds. As a result, certain countries have established environmental access standards for containers, requiring the use of water-based eco-friendly coatings as a substitute for traditional coatings.

Export enterprises should focus on the product quality laws, regulations, and entry requirements of trading countries, become proficient in relevant testing standards, and design products in a scientific and reasonable manner.

III. Customs' Facilitation Measures to Support the Export of Newly Manufactured Containers

To assist with the export of newly manufactured containers, Guangzhou Customs has developed regulatory measures tailored to the unique industry characteristic wherein these containers serve as both goods and transportation tools. Once businesses transport the newly manufactured containers to customs-designated supervision sites and complete the customs clearance procedures, they can immediately load export goods for simultaneous export, which reduces the logistics costs associated with exporting newly manufactured containers. Meanwhile, customs have designated specialized personnel and dedicated posts to expedite customs clearance procedures. The consolidated review of newly manufactured containers and export distribution documents facilitates rapid entry inspection and release, further shortening clearance time and assisting enterprises in enhancing their competitiveness in the international market.

IV. Other Precautions

 

 

 

 

It's essential to be aware of the potential damage risks to newly manufactured containers during their export process. These risks may include improper stacking, mishandling, loading damage, and various unforeseen events due to natural disasters. To prevent containers from being damaged during export transportation, it is important to select a reliable and experienced transportation company as a "partner" to handle the carriage, and to purchase appropriate transportation insurance to collectively manage transportation risks.
