Our Core Advantages for Fruit Inspection and Quarantine Customs Declaration
Fruit is a perishable and high-risk commodity in import and export trade, with extremely strict requirements on inspection and quarantine and customs clearance efficiency. Betterluck Shipping integrates years of industry experience and professional resources, and has formed five core advantages that stand out in the fruit customs declaration market:
1. Professional Expertise in Fruit Inspection and Quarantine
We have a team of senior customs brokers and phytosanitary experts who are familiar with the latest policies of China Customs and AQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) on fruit import and export. We have in-depth understanding of the phytosanitary requirements for different fruits, including the list of quarantine pests (such as Cydia pomonella, Venturia inaequalis), orchard and packaging factory registration standards, and post-harvest treatment specifications <superscript>1. From pre-declaration document review, HS code accurate classification (such as 0808 for apples, 0805 for oranges) to on-site inspection coordination and problem handling, we provide one-stop customized services. For perishable fruits, we formulate personalized clearance plans to ensure that every link is standardized and efficient, avoiding risks such as goods detention, deterioration and destruction caused by non-compliance with inspection and quarantine requirements. Our service tenet is "customer-centric", and we respond to customer inquiries 24/7 to solve problems in a timely manner.
2. Competitive Pricing with Transparent Fees
Relying on long-term strategic cooperation with major ports (Guangzhou Port, Shenzhen Port, Shanghai Port), customs brokerage institutions and international logistics companies, we have established a mature cost control system, which enables us to provide customers with cheapest prices for fruit inspection and quarantine customs declaration and logistics services. We adhere to transparent pricing principles, and all fees (including declaration fee, phytosanitary inspection fee, port handling fee, transportation fee, etc.) are clearly listed in the quotation, with no hidden costs. Whether you are a small and medium-sized enterprise with small batch fresh fruit imports and exports or a large fruit trading company with bulk shipments, we can provide cost-effective solutions to help you reduce trade costs and improve market competitiveness.
3. Fast Clearance to Ensure Fruit Freshness
Freshness is the core value of fruits. Once the customs clearance is delayed, it will directly lead to fruit rot, water loss and quality degradation, resulting in huge economic losses for customers. Betterluck Shipping has a professional operation team and efficient workflow, and has priority declaration channels at major Chinese ports, which can greatly shorten the fruit clearance cycle. We cooperate closely with local inspection and quarantine departments to realize the parallel processing of customs declaration and inspection and quarantine. At the same time, we have long-term cooperative relations with professional cold chain logistics companies to ensure that fruits maintain a suitable temperature (0-10℃ for most fresh fruits) throughout the transportation and clearance process, and realize real-time tracking of goods. The average clearance time of our fruit import and export business is 25% faster than the industry average, effectively ensuring the freshness of fruits and on-time delivery.
4. Global Cargo Network Coverage
As a professional international freight forwarder focusing on fruit trade, we have established a comprehensive global logistics network, covering major fruit producing and consuming regions such as Asia, Europe, North America, Africa and Oceania. We can provide one-stop services including international shipping (refrigerated container transportation), air freight (cold chain air transportation), land transportation (cross-border cold chain truck transportation), customs declaration, inspection and quarantine, warehousing and distribution for fruit import and export. Whether you need to import fruits from the Netherlands, Chile, Thailand and other countries to China or export made-in-China fruits (such as Yantai apples, Sichuan oranges, Guangxi lychees) to the global market, we can rely on our global partners to realize seamless connection of goods from the orchard to the destination market, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire trade chain.
5. Professional Support for Made-in-China Fruit Export
With the continuous development of China's fruit industry, more and more high-quality made-in-China fruits are going global. We are familiar with the import standards and phytosanitary requirements of various countries and regions for fruits, including the EU's maximum residue limit (MRL) of pesticides, the US FDA's fruit safety regulations, and the packaging and labeling requirements of Southeast Asian countries. We can help customers complete the preparation of various export documents, including phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, health certificate, orchard registration certificate, packaging factory registration certificate, etc., to ensure that the products meet the import standards of the destination country and smoothly pass the local customs inspection and quarantine. We have helped a large number of Chinese fruit enterprises export high-quality fruits to the global market, winning wide praise from customers.

For fruits that need special treatment (such as fumigation), we will coordinate professional institutions to complete the treatment work efficiently.

At the same time, we will provide customers with a detailed clearance summary report to help customers grasp the entire clearance process and cost status.
Fruit Import and Export Inspection and Quarantine Customs Declaration Process
The inspection and quarantine customs declaration process for fruit import and export is more complex than that of ordinary commodities, involving multiple links such as qualification confirmation, document preparation, declaration, inspection and quarantine, tax payment and release. Betterluck Shipping has sorted out a standardized process for customers to help you understand the entire clearance process clearly:
Import Customs Declaration Process for Fruits
Preparatory Stage (Before Goods Arrival): Confirm whether the exporting country/region and fruit variety are included in China's allowed import list; confirm that the overseas orchard and packaging factory have been registered with Chinese customs <superscript>1; apply for the entry-exit animal and plant quarantine license (for restricted fruits); complete the filing of the import food consignee; prepare all declaration documents (phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, invoice, packing list, etc.) and review them in advance to ensure no errors.
Goods Arrival and Document Exchange: After the fruits arrive at the port, we will go through the document exchange procedures with the shipping company/airline agent with the bill of lading to obtain the delivery order (DO). At the same time, we will confirm the temperature record of the goods during transportation to ensure that the fruits are not damaged due to temperature deviation.
Customs Declaration and Inspection Application: Submit the declaration information and relevant documents to the customs through the "single window" system, and complete the joint declaration of customs and inspection and quarantine. We will accurately declare the name, quantity, value, origin, HS code and other information of the fruits.
Customs Review and Inspection and Quarantine: The customs reviews the declaration documents and the declared value of the goods. The inspection and quarantine department conducts on-site inspection of the fruits, including unpacking inspection, pest detection, pesticide residue sampling, and temperature monitoring. For fruits that need laboratory testing, we will track the testing progress in real time.
Tax Payment: After the review and inspection and quarantine are passed, the customs issues a tax payment certificate. We will remind the customer to pay the relevant taxes (tariff, value-added tax, etc.) within the specified time.
Release and Delivery: After the tax payment is completed, the customs releases the goods. We will go through the delivery procedures for the customer and arrange professional cold chain transportation to send the fruits to the designated destination (warehouse, market, etc.).
Export Customs Declaration Process for Fruits
Preparatory Stage (Before Goods Shipment): Confirm the import standards and phytosanitary requirements of the destination country (including quarantine pests list, pesticide residue limit, packaging and labeling requirements); complete the filing of the export food production enterprise and the registration of the orchard and packaging factory; prepare export documents (commercial invoice, packing list, contract, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, health certificate, etc.).
Goods Loading and Container Loading: Arrange the loading of fruits, and ensure that the fruits are not damaged during the loading process. For fruits transported by refrigerated containers, we will pre-cool the containers and set the appropriate temperature, and record the temperature data throughout the container loading process. The packaging of fruits must meet the requirements of the destination country, including clear labeling of fruit name, origin, orchard registration number, packaging factory registration number, and "Exported to the People’s Republic of China" (for export to China) or corresponding destination country <superscript>1.
Customs Declaration: Submit the export declaration information and relevant documents to the customs through the "single window" system, and declare the HS code, commodity name, quantity, value, origin and other information of the fruits accurately. We will also declare the phytosanitary treatment information of the fruits (if any).
Customs Inspection and Verification: The customs conducts random inspection on the exported fruits, including document review, on-site inspection and sampling inspection. Our personnel will coordinate on-site to ensure the smooth progress of the inspection. If the destination country has special requirements for the fruits, we will assist in completing the relevant verification work.
Release and Shipment: After the inspection is qualified, the customs releases the goods. We will coordinate with the shipping company/airline to arrange the shipment of the fruits, and track the whole process of the goods (including transportation status, temperature monitoring, customs clearance at the destination port) until they arrive at the destination safely.
