Export Declaration

• Tax-rebate customers should pre-arrange a complete document package for inspection
• Provide original commercial invoices (3 copies) plus electronic packing list / invoice with Shipment Name / ID and Amazon Reference ID

Destination Customs

• Declare at least 65% of true value to reduce inspection and anti-dumping risk
• Always declare true commodity names; we do not accept tax-evasive HS code substitution

• For tariff-exempt items, share product images, usage parameters, and listing links in advance
• Confirm destination importer or fixed tax ID in advance and ensure it is shown on packing list / invoice / B/L correctly

Please review

• Declare commodities truthfully; we do not accept tax-evasive HS codes provided by clients
• Do not under-declare; declare at least 45% of purchase value to avoid inspection / anti-dumping / detention
• If your shipments are frequently inspected, first verify whether under-declaration is involved
• Commercial invoices cannot be modified after departure
• Detention risk is on the client; supporting docs (e.g. listing links) may be required
• Confirm shipping eligibility before pickup to avoid costly returns later
• Hold / re-route requests after stuffing must be raised at least 5 days before arrival; ¥800/shipment ops fee plus all related costs are on the client; success not guaranteed
• FBA LCL is consolidated; one client's missing docs delays the whole container — please share accurate docs on time
