Sometimes, Chinese customs seize the goods for foreign exporters. If your products are seized by the customs, due to missing certifications, you can either provide a CIQ declaration or provide the remaining documents needed.
You need to be hundred percent clear of what certifications are needed before you export your products to China. A third party (e.g. an importer, distributor or certification company) can help you to provide a CIQ-declaration or clear the customs if certifications are not needed. A granted CIQ declaration allows your goods to be imported to China, if approved by the customs.
The following documents are provided when you apply for a CIQ-declaration:
An introduction of your company, product information and arguments why your goods can be declared
Safety compliance declaration
Quota certificates
Business license
Importing license
