Food, cosmetics, chemicals, plants, animal products, used equipment and many consumer goods are subject to inspection and quarantine at import. We tell you which controls apply to your HS code, review certificates and registrations, check Chinese labels against the relevant standards and attend inspections at the port so that sampling and release are not held up.

- Animal and plant quarantine documents
- Overseas manufacturer and exporter registrations
- Chinese label review against national standards
