Ningbo Import Clearance Handling Case: Magnetic Powder from Japan

Magnetic powder is a type of single-domain particle with hard magnetism. Magnetic powder is the key composition of magnetic coating and is the principal factor that decides the magnetic property of magnetic record medium. Magnetic powder, mixed with binder and solvent, made into magnetic paint, and coated on the surface of plastic or metal substrate, and then well produces magnetic record materials like magnetic tape, magnetic disks and cards.

Seahog’s Ningbo customs broker team recently helped clear and import a shipment with magnetic powder originated from Japan at Ningbo port.

The required document to handle the Ningbo customs clearance for magnetic powder is quite simple, including packing list, invoice, sales contract, bill of lading and some necessary info of magnatic powder for declaration purpose. Certificate of origin will be needed if the shipment can enjoy tariff preference.

Notes for importation of magnetic powder
Before importation, the HS code shall be confirmed in advance. And the required documents shall be previewed as well.
There will be certain chance that China customs will draw samples for testing.

Ningbo Port Intercepted Pine Forest Killer from Imported Logs

Seahog Ningbo Branch, the reliable customs clearance agent in Ningbo, learns from Ningbo CIQ that they recently intercepted and captured Pine Forest Killer – pine wood nematode from southern pine logs from USA. In recent years, Ningbo CIQ  repeatedly found pine wood nematode from the wooden packing of imported goods. But it was the first time that this pest was intercepted from entry logs.

From Wilmington, USA, this batch of southern pine logs was nearly 500  m³ and was loaded in 20 containers. Learning the logs were from  pine wood nematode affected area, the on-field inspectors were very cautious. They examined the phytosanitary certificate , made sure that the logs had been removed bark before export, and check the attached non-carrying statement of pine wood nematode. And then they opened the container for inspection and found  harm symptoms of pine wood nematode at the cross section of logs. Inspectors drew samples from logs with blue stains for testing immediately. The test result showed that this batch of logs carried live pine wood nematodes. At present,  these logs had been fumigated, and released after the quarantine treatment was done.

Pine wood nematode disease is the most dangerous and destructive forest disease in the world. It spreads easily, develops rapidly, and is  lethal and hard to be controlled. After infected with pine wood nematode disease, plants will dry up, and die in 40 days – the fastest speed. That is why pine wood nematode disease is called  Pine Forest Killer. Our country found this disease in Nanjing for this first time. Now, the epidemic  has happened in 16 provinces , and is spreading towards West and North.
