# 2026 Analysis of Diaper Import Customs Clearance Agency Procedures and Compliance Key Points

## Diaper Import Customs Clearance: Common Difficulties and Solutions from Japan to Shanghai

Demand for imported diapers in Shanghai’s maternal and infant market continued to rise in 2026,with import volumes of brands such as Japan’s Kao and Unicharm increasing by 18% compared with 2025.However,many local baby stores and e-commerce platforms often experience customs clearance delays during import due to inconsistent documents and unclear quarantine requirements.Last week,a batch of Japanese imported diapers from a local chain baby store in Shanghai was detained by customs due to the missing "microbial test report",and Director Tao (head of Zhongshen’s import business) just helped them complete the supplementary documents and get the goods released.

## Core Value of Zhongshen in Diaper Import

Zhongshen,which has been deeply engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years,focuses on solving three major pain points in view of the particularity of importing maternal and infant products such as diapers: First,it is familiar with the differences in document requirements for different places of origin (such as Japan,Germany,and the United States); Second,it connects the linkage process between customs and commodity inspection; Third,it avoids compliance risks in advance.Director Tao mentioned,"Among the more than 1,200 batches of diaper import businesses we handled last year,only 3 batches were delayed due to customers’ own document problems,and the rest all achieved customs clearance within 3 working days."

## Full Process Breakdown of Diaper Import Customs Clearance

### I.Document Pre-review: The First Pass of Compliance

As a maternal and infant consumer product,diapers have stricter document requirements than ordinary goods.The core documents and requirements are as follows:

| Document Name | Applicable Origin | Required Materials | Key Points of Zhongshen’s Assistance |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Customs Clearance Form for Inbound Goods (Commodity Inspection) | All origins | Hygiene certificate,component test report | Review in advance whether the report meets China’s GB 15979 standard |
| Generalized System of Preferences Certificate of Origin (FORM A) | Japan,EU | Official overseas certificate of origin | Check the consistency of origin and brand to avoid invalidation of tariff preferences |
| Brand Authorization Letter | All origins | Chinese authorization document from the brand owner | Assist in contacting the brand owner to supplement authorization to avoid infringement risks |

Director Tao once encountered a case: In January 2026,an e-commerce platform in Shanghai imported Pampers diapers from the United States,and was required by commodity inspection to retest because the English component report provided did not mark Chinese GB standards.The Zhongshen team immediately contacted the US third-party agency to supplement the Chinese version of the report that meets GB 15979,and completed the supplementary documents in only 2 days,avoiding the port storage fee of 2,000 yuan per day.

### II.Port Customs Declaration: Accurate Declaration to Improve Efficiency

In 2026,the customs updated the tariff code for diapers (adjusted from 96190010 to 96190011),and the tax rate was reduced from 7.5% to 6.8%.Incorrect declaration will lead to tariff deviation.The core operations of the Zhongshen team include:

- Check the tariff code and product parameters (such as the content of super absorbent polymer) in advance to ensure accurate tariff declaration;
- Connect with the customs systems of Shanghai Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port to realize "second review" of electronic declaration;
- For diapers with wooden packaging,remind customers to do fumigation and provide certificates in advance to avoid detention due to packaging problems.

### III.Entry Inspection and Quarantine: Focus on Maternal and Infant Safety

In 2026,China Customs has clarified the quarantine focus on imported diapers.Director Tao stressed that three indicators should be focused on:

- Microbial indicators: Total number of colonies ≤ 200cfu/g,coliform bacteria shall not be detected;
- Heavy metal limits: Lead ≤ 20mg/kg,mercury ≤ 1mg/kg;
- Fluorescent brightener: **Shall not be detected** (latest requirement of GB15979-2023).

In November 2025,a batch of diapers imported by a customer from South Korea was found to have excessive fluorescent brightener in sampling.The Zhongshen team immediately assisted in replacing the batch that meets the standards,and reminded the customer to conduct third-party pre-test for each batch in advance to avoid repeated risks.

## Conclusion

For maternal and infant enterprises in Shanghai,the core of diaper import customs clearance is "compliance first,efficiency guaranteed".With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen not only solves specific problems of documents,customs declaration and commodity inspection,but also predicts policy changes in 2026 and in the future (such as tariff code adjustment,quarantine standard update),helping customers reduce the risks of delay and return.Director Tao said,"Our goal is to let customers focus on market sales,and leave the import link to us."
