Importing goods from China has taken on a key role in global supply chains. However, increased customs controls, the risk of non-compliant goods, logistical delays, and unexpected costs present significant hurdles.

It is therefore crucial to adopt a structured approach to the import process, focusing on preventive verification, regulatory compliance, and rigorous planning throughout the entire logistics chain.

SAFE IMPORT CHECK

To address these needs, Ente Certificazione Macchine (ECM) has launched the Safe Import Check service, dedicated to companies looking to import from China with complete peace of mind. Thanks to our partnership with Ente Cerma Certification Shanghai, ECM provides prompt, comprehensive on-site support at every stage of the import process—from the manufacturer all the way to customs clearance.

SAFE IMPORT CHECK: HOW IT WORKS

Safe Import Check opera su tre livelli complementari, fondamentali per gestire anche le incertezze legate ai picchi stagionali e alle festività:

• Pre-shipment Inspection – Our technicians in China visit the supplier’s facility or the freight forwarder’s warehouse to verify that goods meet all required specifications, checking quality, component integrity, and technical standards.
• Document Verification – The team reviews all required import documentation (certificates, declarations of conformity, technical datasheets, and labels) to ensure there are no discrepancies that could cause customs delays or disputes, thereby streamlining the loading process.
• Customs Clearance Support in Europe – Building on our established expertise working with the Customs Agency and our practical toolkit, ECM supports businesses during the customs phase, reducing delays, disputes, and administrative risks.
