CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND PERSONAL EFFECTS
- All Personal Effects require an Import Permit to be issued prior to clearance. As part of the Import Permit application process we need the shipper’s original passport with current Resident Permit and Work Permit (both valid for a minimum 365 days). The Resident and Work Permit are to be arranged by the shipper’s employer. (These permits can take up to two months to issue and we cannot clear any shipments without them). We also require a copy of the shipper’s employers business registration certificate, customs registration certificate, a letter guaranteeing goods are not for re-sale and completed customs forms to be signed by shipper and stamped by the employer. The issuance of the Import Permit can take up to two weeks.
- Returning Chinese nationals can import personal effects provided they have resided abroad for a minimum 6 months and the amount is deemed reasonable. Shipper must be in China at time of clearance as original passport is required.
- WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SHIPMENTS BE HELD AT ORIGIN UNTIL THE IMPORT PERMIT HAS ISSUED OR UNTIL CALLED FORWARD BY JVK.
- All shipments will be inspected and customs duty levied on furniture, electrical appliances, foodstuff, alcohol and vehicles.
- On exporting personal effects all Antiques are required to have a valid export permit. It is strongly recommended that at the time of importation any Chinese antiques be declared to avoid problems when re-exported.
- Diplomatic shipments are not subject to duty. Shippers Diplomatic Card, Duty Exemption Certificate and a Diplomatic Customs Form are required for clearance.
- Shipments that contain solid wood packaging material need to be either fumigated or heat treated at origin. Failure to do so could entail shipment being subject additional quarantine charges at port of entry.
PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED GOODS
- Never mix personal effects with commercial goods. To import such items the company must have a valid Import License (or their company registration specifically states they will import such items) and must apply for a specific Import Permit for each shipment from the Ministry of Commerce. Customer MUST have this prior to goods landing at port of entry.
- An extensive list of prohibited goods exists but frequently changes without notice. Generally, pornography, guns, narcotics, gambling instruments and subversive literature are banned.
MOTOR VEHICLES (AUTOS AND MOTORBIKES)
- It is very difficult to get a permit for non-diplomats. We recommend that you do not ship. Diplomats require Diplomatic Card, Duty Exemption Certificate and a Diplomatic Customs Form for clearance.
ANIMALS AND PETS
- Pets may be imported upon presentation of a valid health certificate, rabies certificate and vaccination certificate. Shipper must obtain a valid Import Permit prior to shipment.
