FCL import transportation of foreign trade furniture from France to China

01. Business background

Customers get in touch with Sohang.com through customer referrals.

After the preliminary communication between the business personnel and the customer, it was learned that the customer wanted to import a batch of furniture from France to China.

The customer is an enterprise with import and export rights, but has never operated this business before, and the company has not matched any relevant document salesman, so it needs to entrust full authority to act as an agent for sea transportation of goods.

02. Business Difficulties

01. Document handling

Customers need to handle the certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate required for import separately;

02. Damage

There will always be damage after receiving the goods at the port of destination;

03. The value of the goods is too high

If the value of a single item is too high, the insurance company will not insure it;

04. Inspection fee

If there is an inspection, additional costs will be incurred at the port of destination.

03. Solution

01. Preliminary preparation

Imported furniture belongs to legal inspection, and the required customs clearance documents are more than those of ordinary goods. Before delivery, it is necessary to confirm the customs clearance documents, and they are all the same.

Let the sender prepare the format file, and after the mail is sent and confirmed, the original copy will be issued and mailed to the consignee, and then the customs clearance operation will be carried out.

Take some photos of the empty boxes when picking up the boxes at the port of departure to confirm that the original box body has scratches and other marks, and the box damage is not caused by the shipment of goods.

Consult with the insurance company in advance to purchase insurance according to the invoice information, confirm the packaging materials and packaging photos in advance, and apply for the free container period at the port of destination in advance, preferably 14-21 days.
