# How to Operate the Whole Process of Recycled Plastic Import Agency to Ensure Compliant Smooth Customs Clearance?

## Question

 I am the head of a small plastic particle processing factory in Zhejiang Province. I recently finalized a deal for a batch of PE recycled plastic from Europe. Last month, I cooperated with a small agency to ship a trial small container, but it was detained by customs for 21 days due to inconsistent environmental protection marks on the documents. I not only paid the overseas supplier a late delivery penalty of 12% of the goods value, but also almost cut off the regular orders from several domestic injection molding factories. Now workers are waiting for materials to start production, and I am too anxious to sleep. Customs supervision on recycled plastic will be further tightened in 2026. I want to find a professional agency to re-operate the process, but I am afraid of another customs detention and port detention, and also worry that opaque agency charges will lead to cost overrun. I don't know how to proceed to ensure compliant and smooth customs clearance? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，accurate pre-verification of documents needs to be completed: check the **EU WEEE Certification** and CCIC overseas inspection certificate provided by the overseas supplier，ensure that the product name，composition and origin country of the recycled plastic on the certificates fully match those on the domestic **Import License for Recycled Resources**. At the same time，check that the environmental protection mark on the document is consistent with the actual mark on the goods，and alteration or inconsistency is strictly prohibited.

Core nodes need seamless connection: clearly inform the freight forwarder that the goods are recycled plastic when booking space，select a customs broker with special customs clearance qualification for recycled material import，and submit pre-declaration 3 days before the goods arrive at the port，allowing customs to complete document review in advance and avoid port detention charges caused by review backlog after arrival.

Abnormal disposal plans need to be formulated in advance: if you receive a customs inspection notice，immediately prepare the cargo composition test report and the recycling certificate of the overseas supply source，if there is document inconsistency，coordinate with the agency to complete document modification and correction immediately to avoid triggering the customs detention process，if there is a valuation dispute，submit supporting materials such as purchase contracts and payment vouchers simultaneously.

Finally complete compliance placement: archive all documents in time after customs clearance，ensure the consistency of four flows: cargo flow，document flow，capital flow and invoice flow，for subsequent inspection by tax or regulatory authorities.

### Answer 2

When declaring customs for recycled plastic import, it should be noted that the core basis of customs valuation is the actual transaction price of the goods, including overseas transportation, insurance and other miscellaneous charges. If the declared price is lower than the customs reference price, supporting materials such as payment vouchers, purchase contracts and cost breakdown from overseas suppliers need to be provided.

If you need to cancel the declaration and re-declare due to document errors, you must submit the application within 10 days after the goods arrive at the port to avoid滞报金; when declaring via the integrated customs clearance mode, you must ensure that the supervision requirements of the declaration place and destination customs are consistent, to avoid disputes caused by cross-regional supervision differences. At the same time, it should be noted that the HS code of recycled plastic must be accurate. Recycled plastics with different compositions have different codes. Code errors will directly lead to customs detention, and the subsequent document modification process is cumbersome and time-consuming.

### Answer 3

For the logistics path of recycled plastic import, it is preferred to choose direct flight routes to avoid package damage caused by cargo stacking during transit, which will affect the inspection result. When booking space, clearly specify the terms of free storage period and container detention charge. Generally, the free storage period for direct routes is 7 days. If you expect that customs clearance cannot be completed in time, you need to apply to the shipping company for an extension of the free storage period in advance.

The daily container detention charge is about 0.1% of the container value, the longer the delay, the greater the cost loss. In terms of title control, straight bill of lading should be used to avoid illegal transfer of the bill of lading. At the same time, before the goods arrive at the port, you need to confirm that the freight forwarder has completed the accurate transmission of manifest information, ensure that the product name, quantity, weight and other information on the manifest are completely consistent with the customs declaration, to avoid triggering customs risk control inspection due to inconsistent manifest information.

### Answer 4

When importing recycled plastic, you can apply for the VAT deferral policy, which does not require immediate payment of value-added tax at the import link, but deducts it in the subsequent sales link, effectively easing the pressure on capital. Especially for small and medium-sized processing factories with tight cash flow, it can greatly reduce the cost of capital occupation. It should be noted that the premise of applying for VAT deferral is that the enterprise has the general taxpayer qualification, and the imported goods are used for production and business activities.

If they are used for non-taxable items, the policy cannot be enjoyed. At the same time, you need to reasonably plan the import pricing, avoid triggering the transfer pricing investigation of the tax authorities due to unreasonable related party transaction pricing. If it involves related party procurement from overseas, you need to prepare pricing description documents in advance to ensure that the pricing conforms to the arm's length principle.

### Answer 5

The receipt and payment of foreign exchange for recycled plastic import must be carried out through compliance channels. If RMB settlement is adopted, cross-border payment can be made through the CIPS system, which can not only reduce the risk of exchange rate fluctuation, but also shorten the arrival time. Generally, the capital can arrive at T+1. It should be noted that the amount of foreign exchange receipt and payment must be consistent with the transaction price on the customs declaration.

If there is an advance payment, you need to indicate the advance payment amount when declaring and provide the corresponding payment voucher, to avoid triggering the compliance investigation of the foreign exchange administration due to inconsistency between capital flow and cargo flow. In addition, you need to avoid using offshore accounts for foreign exchange receipt and payment. If you need to use offshore accounts for business needs, you need to ensure that the account transaction records are clear, and each transaction has corresponding trade background support.

### Answer 6

The purchase contract for recycled plastic import must clearly specify the environmental standards, document requirements, liability for breach of contract and other terms. Especially for the situation of customs detention caused by inconsistent documents, it should be agreed that the overseas supplier bears full responsibility and corresponding liquidated damages.

It is recommended that the proportion of liquidated damages is not less than 15% of the total value of the goods, to cover the losses of port detention fees, penalties and other losses caused by customs detention. At the same time, the time node of title transfer should be clearly defined in the contract.

Generally, the title is transferred to the buyer after the goods are loaded on board, but avoid title disputes caused by unclear bill of lading terms. If it is settled by letter of credit, you must strictly examine the letter of credit terms to avoid soft clauses, such as requiring documents that cannot be obtained, which leads to failure of smooth settlement.

### Answer 7

When recycled plastic import encounters customs inspection, you need to cooperate with the inspectors to complete the unpacking inspection, and prepare the composition test report, source certificate and other materials in advance. If the inspector suspects that the goods do not meet the environmental standards, he will start the inspection and testing process, which usually takes 7-10 days. You need to communicate with the agency in advance to follow up the progress of the inspection, to avoid delay caused by information lag. At the same time, you need to ensure that the packaging mark of the goods is clear.

If the mark is blurred, you need to provide the mark sample on site to avoid being judged as non-compliant due to unclear mark. In addition, you need to identify the authenticity of the seal. If the seal is damaged, you need to immediately inform the customs and provide the monitoring record during transportation to prove that the goods have not been exchanged.

### Answer 8

The packaging of imported recycled plastic must meet international transportation standards. If the goods are powdered or granular recycled plastic, moisture-proof sealed packaging should be used to avoid moisture agglomeration during transportation, which affects the quality of the goods and then leads to customs judgment of non-compliance. You need to prepare an accurate MSDS report in advance. The report must clearly specify the composition, environmental properties, transportation precautions and other information of the goods.

If the content of the MSDS report does not match the actual situation of the goods, it will lead to customs detention and the rectification process is cumbersome. At the same time, you need to select appropriate packaging materials according to the weight of the goods to ensure that the packaging strength meets the transportation requirements, avoid cargo leakage caused by packaging damage and trigger safety supervision risks. Packaging sealing is particularly important for recycled plastics containing a small amount of impurities.

### Answer 9

If the imported recycled plastic is used for processing and producing plastic products for export, you need to ensure that the import documents are consistent with the export tax refund documents, including customs declarations, purchase contracts, special VAT invoices and other documents, and strictly implement the consistency of four flows: cargo flow, document flow, capital flow and invoice flow, to avoid failure of tax refund due to inconsistent documents. You need to complete the tax refund declaration within 30 days after export to avoid failure of tax refund due to overdue declaration. If you encounter tax verification, you need to provide relevant materials within 15 days.

The tax verification cycle is usually 15-20 days, you need to prepare import documents, production records, export documents and other materials in advance to ensure smooth passage of tax verification. In addition, it should be noted that the input tax deduction of recycled plastic must meet the requirements of the tax authorities. If it is used for non-taxable items, the corresponding input tax must be转出.

### Answer 10

The supply chain planning of recycled plastic import needs to comprehensively consider factors such as logistics cost, tariff cost and capital cost. It is recommended to adopt CIF trade term, the overseas supplier is responsible for transportation and insurance, which reduces the risk of cargo damage, and can also include transportation and insurance costs into the import cost for compliance deduction.

At the same time, you need to establish an inventory linkage strategy, adjust the import volume according to the fluctuation of domestic market demand, avoid capital occupation caused by inventory backlog. Generally, it is reasonable to control the inventory turnover at 2 times per month.

You need to use a cost actuarial model to carry out refined accounting of various import costs, including overseas purchase cost, transportation fee, insurance fee, tariff, value-added tax, etc. By comparing the costs of different suppliers and logistics paths, select the optimal solution. At the same time, pay attention to the price fluctuation of the international recycled plastic market, lock in the supply price in advance to avoid cost overrun caused by price increase.

It is recommended to adopt CIF trade term, the overseas supplier is responsible for transportation and insurance, which reduces the risk of cargo damage, and can also include transportation and insurance costs into the import cost for compliance deduction. At the same time, you need to establish an inventory linkage strategy, adjust the import volume according to the fluctuation of domestic market demand, avoid capital occupation caused by inventory backlog. Generally, it is reasonable to control the inventory turnover at 2 times per month. You need to use a cost actuarial model to carry out refined accounting of various import costs, including overseas purchase cost, transportation fee, insurance fee, tariff, value-added tax, etc. By comparing the costs of different suppliers and logistics paths, select the optimal solution. At the same time, pay attention to the price fluctuation of the international recycled plastic market, lock in the supply price in advance to avoid cost overrun caused by price increase.",
