Core Regulatory Requirements for Agate Import at Jisi Wharf (Latest in 2026)

Agate belongs to semi - gemstone products.In 2026,the regulatory focus of Jisi Wharf on the import of this category is concentrated in three dimensions: first,the accuracy of HS code classification,distinguishing the tax rate differences between unprocessed raw stones and semi - processed/finished products; second,animal and plant quarantine,the surrounding rocks and soil attached to the raw stones must meet the requirements of invasive alien species prevention and control.If harmful organisms are detected,the goods will be directly returned; third,customs valuation,which needs to match the true FOB price of the main producing areas without under - reporting or misreporting.

The documents required for importing agate in advance include: Certificate of Origin,original factory purchase contract,payment voucher,packing list,bill of lading,animal and plant inspection pre - declaration certificate.If the agate category involved is within the CITES appendices,an import license for endangered species must be applied for in advance.

Practical Pitfall Avoidance Guide (Based on Jisi Wharf Import Cases 2023 - 2026)

In 2025,we handled Mr.Shi’s import order.He imported 20 containers of agate raw stones from Brazil under FOB terms.The previous customs broker did not pre - review the documents in advance.After arriving at the port,it was found that the description of the Certificate of Origin did not match the bill of lading.It took 7 days of detention and generated a 120,000 - yuan demurrage fee,and the customs valuation was 22% higher than the normal level,requiring an additional 320,000 - yuan tax payment.Later,we coordinated with the Brazilian partner to revise the Certificate of Origin,submitted the port import price reference and complete vouchers for the same period,completed the valuation negotiation in 3 days,helped him save all additional taxes,and completed the release on the same day.Based on such practical experience,we have sorted out 3 core pitfall avoidance points:

• Accurate HS Code Classification: Unprocessed agate raw stones are classified as 71031000,with the most - favored nation tax rate of 3% in 2026.Semi - processed agate after simple cutting and polishing is classified as 71039990,with a tax rate of 8%.Finished agate jewelry is classified as 71162000,with a tax rate of 10%.Classification errors may lead to over - payment of taxes or tax evasion suspicion.The risk can be completely avoided by comparing the physical goods with the code notes in advance.
• Consistency Check of Declaration Elements: In 2026,Jisi Wharf has upgraded the inspection of declaration elements for agate imports.Brand,material,specifications,and processing degree must be completely consistent with the physical goods.If raw stones are declared as semi - processed products,there is an 80% probability of goods detention and transfer to the anti - smuggling department.We will complete cross - verification of physical photos and document information 10 days before the goods arrive at the port.
• Advance Preparation of Valuation Documents: In 2026,Jisi Wharf refers to the FOB prices of the main producing areas such as Brazil,Uruguay,and Madagascar for agate import valuation.Original factory purchase contracts,payment vouchers,international logistics bills of lading,and certificates of origin must be prepared in advance.If the information is incomplete,the customs will levy customs duties at the highest limit.Our database contains nearly 3 years of port valuation reference data,which can predict valuation deviations in advance.

3 Types of Hidden Losses to Avoid for Agate Import at Jisi Wharf in 2026

First,the B/L exchange fee trap.Many shippers use FOB terms for purchase.The domestic exchange institutions designated by foreign forwarders will additionally charge 2,000 - 5,000 yuan per container.Our global agency network can directly connect with shipping companies for B/L exchange,completely avoiding intermediate markups.Second,demurrage loss.The free storage period at Jisi Wharf in 2026 is 3 days.After that,the storage fee is 1,200 yuan per container per day.If animal and plant inspection sampling is required,the free storage period will not be extended.Pre - reviewing documents and booking inspections in advance can control the detention time within 2 days.Third,exchange rate loss.In 2026,the exchange rate fluctuation range of Brazilian Reals and Malagasy Ariary reached 12%.If EXW terms are used for purchase,locking in the exchange rate in advance can reduce the purchase cost by about 5%.
