Accurate HS Code Classification and Price Verification Risk Prevention

In the 2026 newly updated "Guidelines for the Classification of Imported Goods" released by the General Administration of Customs of China,commonly imported hardware tools and electromechanical parts in Yiwu are clearly included in the high-control category,and the control rate for wrong classification reaches up to 68%.Our operation team will conduct pre-review on the cargo’s HS Code 3 days in advance,make classification in line with the latest 2026 tariff schedule,combined with the actual material,purpose and function of the goods.For example,one Yiwu customer imported German-made CNC cutting tools,the initially declared HS Code corresponded to a 10% tariff.We adjusted the code to 8207.50.00,the tariff was reduced to 3%,and the customer saved RMB 12,000 in taxes for a single batch.

It needs to be emphasized specifically: declaration elements,including brand,model,material and processing technology,must be completely consistent with the actual goods.In 2026,inspectors at Yiwu Port will compare the declared information with the actual goods through IoT devices.Once any discrepancy is found,the goods will be directly detained and supplementary tax payment will be required,which will delay the timeliness for at least 7 days.

Commodity Inspection Pre-review and Pre-positioned Animal and Plant Quarantine

If the imported goods involve categories such as food,cosmetics and seedlings,commodity inspection pre-review must be completed in advance.In 2026,RCEP member states including the European Union and Japan have upgraded traceability requirements for imported food,requiring full sets of documents such as production batches,test reports and certificates of origin.We will connect with the green channel of Yiwu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau in advance.For local import enterprises in Yiwu,the pre-review timeliness is shortened to within 4 hours,to avoid cargo detention caused by incomplete documents.For example,in May 2026,a cross-border e-commerce enterprise in Yiwu had its imported semi-finished cosmetics from South Korea detained due to missing food contact material test report.We assisted the customer to contact the original Korean manufacturer to issue the report urgently,and coordinated with the customs for urgent review.The customs clearance was completed within 2 days,avoiding order breach.

For animal and plant imported goods,we will confirm the quarantine requirements of the exporting country in advance.For example,for seedlings imported from the United States,the plant quarantine certificate issued by USDA must be provided,and isolated quarantine shall be conducted at Yiwu Port.The whole process is followed by dedicated personnel to ensure compliance with the latest 2026 quarantine standards.

Import License and Special Supervision Document Application

Some imported goods require special licenses,for example,electromechanical products require electromechanical permit application,and dangerous chemicals require MSDS reports and appraisal result sheet of dangerous goods packaging usage.In 2026,the United States imposed an additional 25% anti-dumping duty on some Chinese imported hardware products.We will assist customers to apply for RCEP Certificate of Origin in advance to enjoy tariff reductions,and avoid the impact of anti-dumping duties.

For Yiwu’s small commodity imports,such as cosmetics and medical devices,we will assist customers to complete domestic filing,connect with the filing system of the National Medical Products Administration in advance,to ensure declaration is made only after all documents are complete,and avoid document rejection caused by incomplete filing.
