Foreign trade export details matters needing attention in different countries

1.

The countries that need to be declared are all member states of the European Union, and the ENS fee is $25-35 per ticket.

2. Wood packaging in Australia, the United States, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Israel, Brazil, Chile, Panama, and other countries requires fumigation and disinfection.

3. Cambodia, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Doha, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other countries need to obtain certificate of origin.

5. Saudi regulations: All goods imported into Saudi Arabia must be shipped on pallets, with the country of origin and shipping marks on the packaging.

6. Brazilian regulations:

Only three full sets of original bills of lading are accepted and cannot be changed. The bill of lading must indicate the freight amount (only in US dollars or euros), and the TOORDER bill of lading is not accepted. The bill of lading should indicate the recipient's contact information (phone number, address);

The CNPJ number of the consignee must be displayed on the bill of lading (the consignee must be a registered company), and the consignee must be a company registered with the destination customs;

C cannot be paid on delivery, and no additional fees can be charged at the destination port. The wooden package needs to be fumigated, so more attention should be paid to the box price.

7. Mexican regulations:

a. When declaring AMS bills of lading, the product code, as well as the required AMS information and packing list invoice should be displayed;

b. Notify refers to a third-party notifier, usually a freight forwarding company or a CONSIGNEE agent;

10. Colombia (COLOMBIA) Note: The amount of freight must be indicated on the bill of lading (in US dollars or euros only).

11. India: Warning: Regardless of whether it is FOB or CIF, the Indian side can refuse to pay, and the technology is legal. Regardless of whether the bill of lading is a "TOORDEROFSHIPPER" (indicative bill of lading), whether you have an indicative bill of lading or not, the Indian side can refuse to pay, and the technology is legal, However, as long as the BILLOFENTRY (Import Declaration Manifest), IGM (Import Declaration Manifest), and IGM (Import Declaration Manifest) of the import declaration display the name of the Indian customer, they have lost their ownership of the goods. Regardless of whether the bill of lading is in your hands or not, 100% prepayment should be made as much as possible.

12. Russia:

a. Customers must make timely payments or cooperate for a long time, otherwise it is recommended to make the payment first! Or prepay more than 75%.

b. After the goods arrive, there must be two reminders: one is to urge the customer to pay, and the other is to urge the customer to pick up the goods! Otherwise, after the goods arrive at the port or station, if no one picks up the goods and the customs blackmail them, or if you have to pay high fees and customers can release the goods without a bill of lading through relationships, sometimes this market is reasonable and unclear!

c. Considering the procrastination style of the Russians, it is important to remember that whether it is making advance payments, picking up goods, or receiving payments, it is necessary to urge.

13. Kenya: The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has been implementing the Pre Export Standards Compliance Verification Program (PVOC) since September 29, 2005. For this reason, PVOC, a pre-shipment verification method, has been adopted since 2005. The products in the PVoC directory must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before shipment. CoC is a mandatory customs clearance document in Kenya, and without this certificate, goods cannot enter customs after arriving at a port in Kenya.

14. Egypt:

a. For goods exported to Egypt, the Commodity Inspection Bureau conducts pre shipment inspection and supervision.

b. Regardless of whether it is required by law to conduct commercial inspection or not, customers are required to provide certificate replacement certificates or vouchers, formal inspection authorization letters, packing lists, invoices, and contracts.

c. Take the exchange certificate (form) to the commodity inspection bureau to handle customs declaration procedures (for legal commodity inspection, the customs declaration form can be obtained in advance), and then schedule a specific time with the commodity inspection personnel to inspect the warehouse. (Meet with the local commodity inspection bureau a few days in advance)

d. After arriving at the warehouse, the personnel of the commodity inspection bureau will first take photos of the empty boxes, and then conduct a box count inspection on each shipment. Each shipment will be checked for packing, and the next shipment will be taken until all the goods are loaded. They will then go to the commodity inspection bureau to change the documents and arrange for customs clearance.

e. Approximately 5 working days after customs declaration, go to the Commodity Inspection Bureau to collect the pre shipment inspection certificate for customs clearance at the destination port. Foreign customers can use this certificate to complete customs declaration procedures at the destination.

Sealed documents and pre-shipment inspection certificates can only be cleared at the destination port in Egypt. The embassy recognizes this after customs declaration or export data confirmation.

g. The certification by the Egyptian embassy takes about 3-7 working days, and the processing of the pre shipment inspection certificate takes about 5 working days. For other customs declarations and commercial inspections, please consult the local authorities. Market personnel must set aside time within their own safety range when negotiating with customers.
