Importing old equipment to save customers high fees such as late reporting fees

The customer originally planned to import one old CNC floor boring and milling machine by sea from the United States, in 7 40 foot containers, and it was originally scheduled to arrive at the port on December 3rd. Due to loading issues with the shipping company, two containers were dumped and unable to be imported together, resulting in 7 containers being divided into 2 bills of lading for import, namely 5 containers and 2 containers. The old mechanical and electrical certificate and pre inspection certificate before shipment that the customer applied for initially showed one CNC floor boring and milling machine. Due to the high value of the goods, if the tax exemption certificate form is reapplied for at this time, the customer will bear huge demurrage fees, port clearance fees, overdue fees, and there is also a risk of not being able to handle the return shipment.

Upon learning of this issue, Control Logistics immediately provided a solution to the customer. These two bills of lading were declared for entry into the export processing zone in two batches under the names of equipment hosts, equipment spare parts, etc. Then, they were declared for import in the form of one bill of lading through the BOM previously filed. In the end, we saved our customers high fees such as late declaration fees and avoided the risk of return shipping.
