Full-Process Control of Destination Port Certification

In 2026,import certification standards around the world continue to update: the EU CE certification has added carbon footprint requirements,and the US CPSC has upgraded the testing standards for children’s products to the 17th edition.Before FCL exports,Hefei enterprises need to confirm the mandatory certification requirements of the destination port in advance,such as the inspection of mechanical and electrical products and the MSDS report for chemical products.Our team will review customers’ certification materials 10 days in advance to avoid return after arrival.In March 2026,a hardware tool enterprise in Hefei exported to Germany.The CE certificate provided by the customer itself did not meet the new standards.We assisted in contacting the EU notified body to reapply,completed the rectification 3 days in advance,and ensured that the shipment caught up with the sailing schedule.Another Hefei furniture enterprise’s goods were detained upon arrival because they did not apply for the Australian fumigation certificate in advance.We coordinated with local agents to handle it urgently.Although additional costs were incurred,longer detention losses were avoided.
