Nestle Super Kenen Import Agency Full-Process Compliance and Customs Clearance Operation and Risk Prevention Guide

Core Points for Full-Process Compliance and Customs Clearance of Nestle Super Kenen Import Agency

As a special formula infant food,the import of Nestle Super Kenen must strictly follow the dual supervision requirements of the China Customs and the State Administration for Market Regulation.In 2026,the General Administration of Customs of China further optimized the valuation model for pre-packaged special foods,with the control rate increasing by 12% compared to 2025.Importers need to prepare compliant documents and goods in advance to avoid declaration rejection,port detention,or tax supplementation due to minor oversights.

1.Precise HS Code Classification and Practical Customs Valuation

The correct HS Code for Nestle Super Kenen is 1901100090,which falls under the category of "other infant formula foods".Declaration elements must include brand,specifications and models,certificate of origin,production batch number,overseas manufacturer registration number,etc.In 2026,customs valuation will focus on verifying the deviation between the declared price and the average import price for the same period.If the deviation exceeds 15%,a price consultation process will be initiated.

We handled a case: At the end of 2025,a Suzhou importer self-declared and classified the product as ordinary pre-packaged food (HS Code 2106909090),resulting in the rejection of customs valuation.The goods were detained at the port for 3 days,generating 21,000 RMB in demurrage and storage charges.Subsequently,by adjusting the classification and supplementing overseas procurement supporting materials through us,the customs clearance was completed in just 2 working days.

2.Commodity Inspection Pre-review and Import License Application Process

In 2026,the State Administration for Market Regulation requires that commodity inspection pre-review be completed before the import of special formula foods.Materials to be submitted include: overseas manufacturer registration certificate,product formula registration certificate,and third-party test reports.The import license must be applied for online through the international trade "Single Window".The statutory review cycle is 7 working days,which will be extended to 15 days if materials are missing.

Our team can complete document pre-review 7 working days in advance,assist importers in sorting out missing materials,and interface with commodity inspection officers at the Shanghai port to accelerate the license approval process,avoiding cargo arrival delays caused by waiting for certificates.

3.Animal and Plant Quarantine and Port Inspection Points

Nestle Super Kenen is mainly imported from the EU and requires a quarantine certificate (EU Phytosanitary Certificate) issued by EU officials.In 2026,the inspection rate for imported special foods at the Shanghai port increased to 8%.Inspection focuses include whether packaging labels comply with China’s GB 7718 pre-packaged food labeling standards,whether shipping mark information is consistent with the declaration,and whether the shelf life of the goods meets import requirements.

If the goods are selected for inspection,we can coordinate the inspection time in advance,arrange dedicated personnel to accompany the customs inspection,and resolve sudden issues such as label rectification and packaging replacement on-site,controlling inspection delay time within 4 hours.

4.Import Cost Comparison and Risk Avoidance Solutions

5.Common Risk Warning List

• Valuation Risk: Some importers underestimate the value of goods,causing customs to initiate price consultation,requiring supporting materials such as overseas procurement contracts,invoices,and freight documents.
• Demurrage Risk: Failure to book inspection in advance leads to cargo detention.Shanghai port daily demurrage is about 700 RMB/20GP container.
• Exchange Loss Risk: Failure to lock in exchange rates leads to increased settlement costs.We can provide forward settlement services to lock in monthly exchange rate fluctuations.
• Label Risk: Failure to add Chinese labels according to Chinese GB 7718 standards will result in customs requiring return shipment or rectification.

Another typical case: In 2025,a Guangzhou importer entrusted another agency to import Nestle Super Kenen.Because the labels were not reviewed in advance,the goods were required to be rectified upon arrival at the port,causing an 8-day delay and generating nearly 60,000 RMB in demurrage and storage charges.Subsequently,after entrusting us as the agent,we pre-reviewed the labels for overseas shipment to ensure compliance with Chinese standards.The goods were released immediately upon arrival at the port without generating additional costs.
