Problems that need to be paid attention to when importing furniture and furniture:

1) When packing, you must make a detailed packing list, and the standard packing, packing goods and information must be consistent.

2) It is best to do a good job of fumigation before shipment, so as not to detect small insects when seized at domestic ports, carry out dock fumigation operations, and increase costs.

3) Try to complete the documents, because some domestic ports are still relatively strict in terms of the document requirements for furniture imports.

4) The price declaration should be based on the actual transaction price.

5) The import of finished furniture does not require plant inspection certificate and certificate of origin;

6) The import of semi-finished furniture requires a plant inspection certificate and a certificate of origin;

7) Furniture belonging to endangered species should be non-endangered; (The disinfection certificate for furniture imports is only for packaging, if it belongs to wooden packaging, of course, it needs a disinfection certificate, and other packaging that does not need to be disinfected does not need a disinfection certificate.) ）
