Key Obstacles in Olive Oil Import Clearance

Importing olive oil to Guangzhou involves navigating strict Chinese food safety regulations, precise tariff classification, and timely inspections. Common issues include: missing phytosanitary certificates, incorrect HS code classification, and delays in entry-exit inspections. These can disrupt supply chains if not managed proactively.

For example, a client once encountered a 4-day hold due to an incomplete certificate of origin. Our pre-review system identified the gap and ensured all documents were resubmitted correctly within 24 hours.

Our Streamlined Clearance Process

Our approach to olive oil customs clearance in Guangzhou includes:

• Document Precision Check: We meticulously review commercial invoices, packing lists, and origin certificates 24 hours prior to submission, ensuring compliance with China’s General Administration of Customs requirements.

• Tariff Optimization: Leveraging our 10+ years of experience with food imports, our experts accurately classify olive oil under the correct HS code, minimizing tariff discrepancies.

• Inspection Acceleration: We coordinate with Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to schedule inspections promptly, often reducing inspection time from 8 hours to 4 hours for olive oil shipments.

Take a UK-based olive oil importer as an example: they faced a 6-day delay due to document mismatches. Our team corrected the HS code classification and resubmitted documents, reducing their clearance time to 3 days.
