We’ve helped countless clients reduce import costs by up to 35%, avoid customs delays, and expand their businesses by making China-Canada trade simple.
Our Canadian clients agree: “Packaging was super careful, everything arrived intact,” noted a Toronto customer. Another in Mississauga praised our “reliable service even during port strikes” . These testimonials reflect our dedication to delivering on our promises, every time.

China Export Customs Clearance Process: Step-by-Step Guide

Exporting goods from China requires strict adherence to regulations outlined in the General Administration of Customs (GAC) Import and Export Goods Declaration Management Regulations . BETTERluck Shipping manages this entire process to ensure compliance and speed. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the standard procedure:

1. Pre-Declaration Preparation (3-5 Days Before Shipment)

The first step is gathering and verifying all required documents to avoid delays. Our team works with you and your suppliers to collect:   Commercial invoice (detailing product names, quantities, values, and HS codes)Packing list (itemized by package, including weight and dimensions)Sales contract between the Chinese exporter and Canadian importerExport license (if applicable for restricted goods like electronics, chemicals, or food products)Bill of lading (BOL) or air waybill (AWB) from the carrierCertificate of origin (to qualify for preferential tariffs under trade agreements)We also confirm the HS code for each product to ensure accurate duty classification—a critical step to avoid customs scrutiny.

2. Electronic Declaration Submission

Under Chinese customs regulations, all declarations must be submitted electronically via the GAC’s online system . Our certified customs brokers upload the prepared documents and electronic data, including:    Shipment details (carrier, vessel/flight number, departure date)Exporter and importer information (company names, tax IDs, addresses)Product details (HS codes, descriptions, values, origins)The GAC typically reviews electronic declarations within 1-2 business days. If additional information is needed, we respond promptly to keep the process on track.

3. Customs Inspection (If Required)

Customs may select shipments for inspection to verify that the declared information matches the actual goods. This is a random process but more common for high-value goods, restricted items, or shipments with incomplete documentation. Our team coordinates with customs to schedule inspections quickly and ensures goods are easily accessible. Inspections usually take 1-3 days to complete.

4. Duty Payment & Release

For dutiable exports, we calculate and arrange payment of applicable fees on your behalf. Once payment is confirmed and the shipment passes inspection (if required), Chinese customs issues a release order. This order is sent to the carrier, allowing the goods to be loaded onto the vessel or aircraft.
Key deadline: Exports must be declared 24 hours before the goods are loaded onto the carrier . We strictly adhere to this timeline to avoid missed shipments.

5. Post-Release Documentation

After clearance, we provide you with all post-shipment documents, including the customs-cleared BOL/AWB, export declaration certificate, and any other paperwork needed for Canadian import clearance or tax refunds.

BETTERluck’s Advantage in Chinese Export Clearance

We leverage the GAC’s “two-step declaration” model to accelerate the process . This allows us to submit a summary declaration when the goods are shipped, followed by a full declaration within 14 days of the carrier’s arrival—reducing wait times for time-sensitive shipments. Our long-standing relationships with local customs offices also help resolve any issues quickly.

Canada Import Customs Clearance Process: Step-by-Step Guide

Importing into Canada involves compliance with CBSA regulations, including ACI eManifest requirements and potential surtaxes for certain goods . BETTERluck Shipping’s Canadian customs brokers handle every detail to ensure your goods clear quickly and legally.

1. Pre-Arrival Preparation (5-7 Days Before Goods Arrive)

Proper preparation is key to avoiding demurrage fees at Canadian ports. Our team collects and prepares:    Commercial invoice (with English/French translations, as required by CBSA)Packing list (detailed by package, including Canadian Harmonized System codes)Bill of lading/air waybill (issued by the carrier)Import permit (if applicable for goods like food, plants, or pharmaceuticals)Certificate of origin (to claim preferential tariffs under CUSMA or other agreements)Analysis certificates (for steel/aluminum goods to avoid surtaxes )

2. ACI eManifest Submission

CBSA requires all shipments to have an Advance Commercial Information (ACI) eManifest submitted before arrival. This electronic document includes details about the goods, importer, and carrier. For sea freight, the eManifest must be submitted 24 hours before the vessel arrives in Canada; for air freight, it’s 4 hours before arrival . Our team ensures timely submission to avoid penalties.

3. Declaration & Duty Assessment

Upon the goods’ arrival, we submit a formal import declaration to CBSA. This includes:    Shipment details (arrival date, port, carrier information)Importer of record information (your company or our nominated agent)Product details (HS codes, descriptions, quantities, values)Duty and tax calculations (based on CBSA’s tariff schedule)CBSA assesses duties, taxes (GST/HST), and any applicable surtaxes. We handle payment on your behalf and provide a detailed breakdown of all costs.

4. CBSA Inspection (If Required)

CBSA may inspect shipments to verify compliance, check for restricted items, or confirm the declared value. Inspections can be:   Documentary inspection (review of paperwork only)Physical inspection (examination of the goods)Referral to other agencies (e.g., Health Canada for food products)Our team coordinates with CBSA and third-party agencies to speed up inspections. Most inspections are completed within 1-3 days.

5. Release & Delivery

Once duties are paid and the shipment passes inspection, CBSA issues a release order. We then arrange for pickup from the port/airport and deliver the goods to your specified location in Canada—whether it’s a warehouse in Toronto, a store in Vancouver, or a residential address in Montreal. For Amazon sellers, we offer direct delivery to Canadian FBA warehouses.

BETTERluck’s Advantage in Canadian Import Clearance

Our Canadian customs brokers are fully licensed and up-to-date on the latest regulations, including the 25% surtax on certain Chinese steel and aluminum goods . We help you navigate exemptions (e.g., goods under CAD $5,000, personal items) and ensure you only pay the required fees. Our local partnerships also mean faster pickup and delivery from all major Canadian ports.

Since working with BETTERluck, Carlos’s business has grown 40% year-over-year. We handle pickup from all his suppliers, provide free warehousing to consolidate goods, manage customs clearance in both countries, and offer transparent pricing. “I was ready to stop importing from China, but BETTERluck made it easy,” he says.
