Background: A Fortune 500 client relocated their Australian factory to Tianjin, involving nearly 100 pieces of used equipment, many requiring import licenses. This posed significant challenges for customs clearance and inspection in Tianjin. Amid the 2008 global financial crisis, controlling costs—especially tariffs—was critical.

  • Customs commodity code pre-classification.

  • Pre-inspection record filing for used equipment.

  • Overseas CCIC inspection guidance.

  • Price consultation and review.

  • A combination of trade methods for import clearance.

​

Result: The client saved $1 million in taxes and 20 days of operational time.
