The customer found us through the Internet, and after a simple telephone communication, we made an appointment to have an in-depth communication with the customer by visting their enterprise. The person who received us was the director of the logistics department of the client. From the information exchange, we learned that it is engaged in the trade of machinery and equipment with needs to import second-hand machinery and equipment frequently, and its personnel has a basic understanding of the import process, but cannot control the details of the operation. Due to the problems of loading and unloading, regulatory restrictions of exporting countries, and price in the early stage, time costs and additional capital costs have increased, which has affected the capital utilization rate and normal operation of the company. After understanding our company, the customer decided to ask us to help for dealing with the above problems and the import operation of several batches of production lines for second-hand semiconductor in the later period.

During the communication process, the customer expressed the hope to provide a one-stop service from door to door, which covers UK inspection and quarantine before shipment, equipment disassembly and packaging, pick-up service, overseas export declaration, international shipping, destination customs clearance of domestic port, warehousing and distribution, and Commodity inspection transfer. Based on the above-mentioned customer needs, the two parties finalized the door-to-door import plan at Xiamen Port. For precision instruments and semiconductor equipment, not only the storage environment has strict requirements, but also handling is also a challenge. The handling of precision instruments requires no vibration, no tilt, no static electricity, environmental protection, no pollution, flexibility, etc. Any error in any part will affect the use and accuracy of the equipment.

We arranged staff visit in Japan and inspect the device, we found that the device body part of the nameplate is fall off with vague phenomena. Considering the shipment inspection and quarantine and domestic customs inspection when all need to check the nameplate information, such as non-standard nameplate or lack, there is a risk when get the return and fined by customs. At the same time, it is found that such equipment can be used in the military industry. According to past experience, UK has regulatory requirements for the export of such equipment, so it is necessary to apply for "improper certification". Therefore we have handled the certificate, supplemented and cleaned the equipment nameplate accordingly before shipment,.

According to the situation, we have issued a loading and unloading plan including hoisting, packaging and transportation. The total number of people in the loading and unloading project is 26 to ensure the smooth development of equipment disassembly and packaging. The import of used equipment often involves the issue of customs price review and inspection.

We repare the price for quotation in the early stage of the declaration to save time for customs clearance, which needs to be prepared including original invoices, proof of payment, emails, chat records, screenshots of website prices, explanations, etc. Therefore, the batch of semiconductor equipment is tightly packed and accompanied by reinforcement measures, which makes it difficult to inspect at the port. also opening the original packaging is not conducive to the development of domestic distribution work. According to the difficulties we have met, we negotiated several tims with the customs, finally the customs agreed that after the semiconductor equipment arrived at the destination, the local customs arranged on-site inspection, which properly resolved the customs inspection problem.
