Last month,Supervisor Yan handled the needs of a textile factory in Jiaxing,Zhejiang.The company previously declared the import of 2 containers of India leather rollers on its own,but failed to verify that the supplier’s tanning factory was not on the access white list updated by customs in 2026,so the goods were forced to be returned,resulting in a direct loss of nearly 400,000.India leather rollers are parts and accessories of textile machinery,with outer layers coated with animal-derived leather.The import process involves multiple regulations such as animal and plant quarantine,anti-dumping investigations,and customs price verification,and any small mistake will result in high hidden costs.

Practical Guide for Importing India Leather Rollers
Pre-Examination and Pre-Check Phase
- Advance verify whether the Indian supplier’s tanning factory is on the latest access white list of customs; a total of 12 Indian tanning factories were removed from the white list in 2026,and many enterprises encountered problems due to no advance check
- Advance verify the authenticity of the Origin Certificate; require the supplier to provide full logistics trajectory to avoid fake Origin Certificates with third-country transit,which will not allow enjoying RCEP tariff preferences
- Advance organize all declaration documents,verify the consistency of information such as transaction vouchers,remittance slips,packing lists,and invoices to avoid discrepancies in goods value and quantity
Port Declaration Phase
Shanghai ports can handle pre-inspection in advance; we have on-site teams at all Shanghai ports,and the pre-inspection result can be issued on the same day after submitting documents to advance check risk points.Goods from non-local enterprises can use the national integrated declaration channel,no need for transit customs clearance,and can be inspected directly at the local port,saving 3-5 days of customs clearance time.
For anti-dumping investigations,we will organize complete transaction chain documents in advance,including original factory purchase contracts,international logistics documents,remittance vouchers,domestic sales contracts,etc.and submit them to customs for pre-examination to avoid triggering anti-dumping duties at the maximum rate.
Common Risks and Avoidance Suggestions for Importing India Leather Rollers
Risk 1: ICEGATE System Declaration Trap in India: Many Indian suppliers,when declaring customs in India on their own,deliberately underdeclare the goods value to reduce their own taxes,leading to a value inversion when declaring imports in China and directly triggering customs price verification control.It is recommended to agree with the supplier in advance that the customs declaration value must be consistent with the actual transaction value; we have local agents in India who can help verify the information of Indian export declarations to avoid value inconsistency.
Risk 2: Trap of Designated Freight Forwarder’s Delivery Order Fee: Many freight forwarders designated by Indian suppliers will charge high delivery order fees and operation fees when exchanging documents in China,even 2-3 times higher than normal fees.We can connect with shipping companies in advance to lock in delivery order fees to avoid unreasonable price increases.
Risk 3: Exchange Rate Loss Risk: The Indian Rupee has large exchange rate fluctuations; since 2026,the fluctuation range of Rupee against US Dollar has reached up to 8%.If settlement is made under EXW or FOB terms,it is recommended to lock in the exchange rate in advance to avoid additional costs caused by exchange rate fluctuations.
Reference of Real Cases
In March 2026,a textile technology company in Suzhou,Jiangsu imported 3 containers of India leather rollers with a goods value of 1.2 million.When declaring on its own,because the Origin Certificate was not verified online,customs determined that it was suspected of forging the Origin Certificate,triggering anti-dumping investigations,and the goods were detained at Yangshan Port,and the customer’s production line would stop due to lack of materials in a week.
After receiving the demand,we immediately retrieved the factory vouchers of the Indian supplier,full logistics trajectory,and international remittance slips,verified that the goods were indeed of Indian origin,only that the previous agent’s submitted Origin Certificate was not verified online.We coordinated with the India Chamber of Commerce and Industry to issue a compliant FORMA Origin Certificate,submitted to customs for price consultation,and applied for advance release of part of the goods for production.Finally,all verification processes were completed in 7 days,the customer enjoyed RCEP tariff reduction of 120,000,only incurred 2 days of demurrage fees,and the production line did not stop.
