Import of baby walking belts:foreign tradeThe Walking Guide for Agents
As an experienced foreign trade veteran with 20 years of experience, I am often asked: What exactly should be paid attention to when importing baby walking belts? Today, let me take you through this special walking journey in the most down - to - earth way.
I. Warm - up Exercises before Import: Preparation Work
Just as choosing a walking belt for a baby requires taking measurements, sufficient preparation should also be done before import:
HS Code Positioning:Walking belts are usually classified under 6307.90.90 (other manufactured goods), with a tariff of about 8 - 10%. Special attention should be paid to whether legal inspection is involved.
Qualification Preparation:- Clearly defineimport and exportDual - header customs declaration can be adopted, but the agency agreement needs to be confirmed in advance.
I remember a customer last year who, due to not making a pre - Chinese label, was required to make rectifications at the port, spending an extra two weeks and tens of thousands of yuan in warehousing fees. This lesson tells us: Preparation work is like the buckle of a walking belt and must be fastened firmly!
II. International Transportation: Fasten the Safety Belt for the Walking Belt
The following potential safety hazards are most likely to occur in the transportation link:
Packaging Issues:The metal fasteners of the walking belt may be misjudged as dangerous goods. It is recommended to conduct a transportation appraisal in advance.
Temperature and Humidity Control Requirements:The materials of some high - end walking belts are sensitive to humidity, and special attention should be paid to indicating the transportation conditions.
Document Connection:Maritime TransportationThe product name on the bill of lading must be exactly the same as that on the customs declaration form. Avoid writing walking belt as baby belt.
Tips:Air TransportationAlthough it is fast, shipping is more cost - effective for light and bulky goods like walking belts. It is recommended to plan the logistics 45 days in advance.
III. Domestic Customs Clearance: The Customs Quality Inspection Game,
The three most likely stumbling blocks during customs clearance:
Legal Inspection Process:Walking belts are goods subject to legal inspection. 7 - 10 working days should be reserved for CIQ inspection.
Label Review:Safety warnings such as applicable age and maximum load - bearing must be included (refer to the customs consumption tips).
Inspection Focus:The customs pays special attention to the tensile test of small parts (to prevent accidental swallowing) and the inspection of sharp edges.
Last year, we had a case: A batch of walking belts was required to be returned due to the lack of a warning statement like Each use should not exceed 1 hour. This reminds us: Customs clearance is like using a walking belt and must be operated strictly according to the instructions!
IV. After - sales Service after Taking Delivery
The arrival of goods is not the end, but the starting point of sales:
Quality tracking:It is recommended to reserve at least 3% of spare parts to deal with possible after - sales problems
Voucher management:All original inspection reports and clearance certificates should be properly kept for more than 5 years
Market feedback:Establish a mechanism for collecting product usage problems (especially feedback on the durability of buckles)
Remember the warm reminder from the customs: Replace the damaged accessories of the baby walker in a timely manner. Also, regularly check the importers “supply chain accessories” (such as documents and channels)!
V. Special suggestions for importers
Based on years of experience, here are three “safety buckles” for you:
Choosing a manufacturer with EN71/EN13210 certification is more important than a low price
For the first import, it is recommended to do a pre - inspection of samples to avoid problems found after a large quantity arrives at the port
