Core Compliance Key Points for Imported Super Flat Floor Agency in Nantong

Key Details of Accurate HS Code Classification

In the "Imported Building Materials Classification Guide" updated by the General Administration of Customs in 2026,classification of super flat floors requires distinguishing base materials: epoxy resin-based super flat floors fall under HS Code 39073000,while polyurethane-based ones fall under 39095000.Last year,Manager Zhou of a local flooring engineering company in Nantong mistakenly classified epoxy resin floors as polyurethane when declaring on his own,resulting in inconsistent declaration elements.He was put under customs control and inspected by Nantong Customs,delaying the construction period by 7 days.Correct declaration elements must include brand,model,coating thickness,construction method,whether it is a finished product,etc.and must be completely consistent with original factory documents.This is the first hurdle for customs clearance.

Customs Valuation and Pre-inspection Control Prediction

In 2026,the intelligent document review and control rate for imported building materials at Nantong Port has increased to 14%,mainly comparing the deviation between declared value and the average import price in the same period.If the imported super flat floors are of international first-tier brands such as BASF and Sika,customs will focus on verifying the consistency of trade contracts,original factory invoices,and payment vouchers.Our operation team will communicate with the pre-review section of Nantong Customs in advance,provide brand authorization certificates and original factory quotation sheets,lock the valuation range in advance,and avoid additional tariff payment.

Practical Pitfall Avoidance Cases and Risk Warnings

STAR Case: In 2025,a Nantong electronic factory project needed to import 1,200 square meters of BASF super flat floors from Germany,requiring customs clearance and delivery within 30 days.After the customer contacted a freight forwarder on their own,they were rejected twice by Nantong Customs for failing to prepare the Certificate of Origin and MSDS,and the freight forwarder charged high document exchange fees and demurrage fees.After we took over,we first assisted the customer to reapply for the Certificate of Origin,pre-reviewed all declaration elements,coordinated the inspection green channel at Nantong Port,and finally completed customs clearance 2 days in advance.Only compliant port fees were incurred,saving the customer approximately RMB 8,500 in additional expenses.
