Import of baby walking belts:foreign tradeAgents First Steps Guide

As a 20-year veteran in foreign trade, Im often asked: What should be noted when importing infant walking harnesses? Today, let me take you through this special first steps journey in the most down-to-earth way.

I. Pre-import Warm-up: 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.
• Document Collection:It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Quality inspection report (EN 13210-1 standard), and a sample of the Chinese label are all indispensable.

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 Shipping: Fasten the Safety Belt for Walking Harnesses

The following safety hazards are most likely to occur during shipping:

• 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 exactly match the customs declaration, avoiding writing walking harness as baby harness,

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: Customs Quality Inspection Game,

Three most common 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 harnesses was required to be returned due to missing the warning Do not use for more than 1 hour at a time. This reminds us: Customs clearance is like using a walking harness – you must strictly follow the instruction manual!

IV. Post-delivery After-sales Service,

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 customs warm reminder: Replace damaged baby walker accessories promptly, and regularly check the importers supp chain accessories (such as documents and channels)!
