The Ultimate Checklist to Expedite Import Transactions

You can save a lot of time if you work with professionals.

Working in the importation business is not simple and the transactions to do them vary vastly among the different markets in which you want to participate. These differences are fundamentally related to the particular requirement of border inspection and customs, and if they are not taken into account, it can damage the timely delivery of the products. This is especially important when you are working with organic products, such as raw material for manufacture or packaging. Commodity brokers know this, and they make sure to expedite the process for the convenience of your company.

Coagro Corp knows this better than anyone on the market: they prepare ahead of time and make sure to have everything ready for the importation process. This preparation from their part ensures that these processes are done as quickly and efficiently as possible, providing excellent results every time. But how do they do it? Here’s the list of things they do and that you can do too if you want to ensure safe and quick importation transactions:

Invoices preparation: They work as the documentation of sales process for any company in the commercial market. There are proforma invoices (general idea of the business transaction and requirements of the importation) and commercial invoices (bills of sale with pertinent data of all commercial parts involved in the agreement, with the identification data).
Verify information for transport: Once the invoices are checked, you need to verify that the product is transported correctly. Some goods cannot be transported without accomplishing particular requirements. The company needs to have this in mind when doing the documentation for transportation.
Ensure correct description: Products will be inspected on foreign soil, and the importation success depends on the reliability of the information you provide for these customs inspections. The data should contain all pertinent information: description, codes, volume, and so on, to ensure a quick inspection.
Verification of destination data: The requirements for foreign custom often differ from the ones of the country of origin. The best way to ensure that the importation process goes smoothly is to verify the specific requirements and ensure that you accomplish all the conditions for the transaction.
Create a productive relationship with authorities: It's productive to establish a correct relationship with border authorities since they will verify and check your importation process, probably for a long term. Avoid creating unnecessary complications and abide by their rulings to create a legal and satisfactory relationship.
Establish contact beforehand: It’s ideal for your company that you have contact with authorities and all elements of the importation business, to inform of and verify the process. While this doesn’t seem like something productive, it can help you resolve any inconveniences promptly, should they arise.

How are Products Classified for International Trade?

This knowledge will help you create a stronger business.

For commercialization, all companies must create their products to fit certain criteria. The defining factors will be set by standards of quality, security, hygiene measures, production, and origin, to name a few, considering the particular trade market of choice. But when the identification of all of these characteristics is required for commercialization purposes, it’s necessary to create a nomenclature to ensure that all parties understand what’s being commercialized. This is especially important when products are going to be sold or traded abroad. International trade requires strict classification to ensure customer satisfaction, and today you’ll learn all about it!

How are products classified for international trade?

To deal with language barriers and other technical difficulties that can arise when trading on international markets, the creation of a standard code is required. These systems assign numbers that indicate the characteristics of a product by hierarchy and offer a detailed guide that can be assessed by anyone that knows the nomenclature.

However, these international rulings vary depending on the market and the particular requirements of the field so that products can be labeled according to one or more of the following identification methods:

Harmonized System (HS):

It’s set by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is among the most frequently used classification systems. It’s a series of 6 digits. Each pair of them designates particular characteristics. The first two are the chapter indicator; the following pair is the heading; the next pair is the subheading. These codes are used for international trade and are compiled and updated every five years.

Harmonized Tariff System (HTS):

Countries of origin and destination often require additional information to introduce the traded goods into national classifications, hence the creation of the HTS classification. In the case of the US market, this is a code limited to the requirements of their own field of work. It's composed of the HS code, with 4 additional numbers, creating a 10-code number unique to the country. In the case of the US, these are updated annually, with midyear modifications when necessary, and are determined by the US International Trade Commission.

Schedule B codes

This system is used for the exportation of products out of the US markets. These are a form of HS code and comply with the same normative, as far as nomenclature (as they will be in international markets, where this is required). It’s composed of 6 digits, and its classification and register are done through the Automated Export System, with the US Census Bureau to publish the numerical determinants per market and amount.

Why are products classified for international trade?

While commercialization might be the obvious answer, nomenclature does more than just to define and indicate the origin of products and help its commercialization. These classifications are important for all parties involved in the trading process, and they can help speed up the process of transportation. International trade codes also make the whole process more efficient and likely to comply the requirements of the buyer and seller.

It's no wonder why most countries value what the code systems do for their business and stick to them. Why? Because they can help achieve the following goals:

Ensure correct custom tariff payments.
Allow the collection of internal taxes.
Create international trade statistics.
Determine origin.
Allow concessions for market negotiations.
Improve the effectivity of risk assessment, compliance and information collection.
Help to monitor transported goods (to ensure they are legal and controlled).
Reduce the risk of legal transportation of illegal products.

All commodity and trading companies know that following the correct nomenclature systems speeds up the process, and ensures the safe traveling and arrival of the products they send to their customers. Coagro Corp knows this and makes sure that every single element they offer to their consumer is properly identified to ensure satisfaction. Contact them and do business with professionals of the commodity world!

The paperwork and amount of transported products make part of these classifications.

What is Import Compliance?

In the importation trade, knowing the fundamental steps is vital.

Importation processes require care and attention to the market details that can affect the commercial procedures. One of the things that commodity companies know is that taking care of the details and verifying the requirements and documentation is the way in which they can ensure correct results for all parties. Commercialization, especially importation, requires extensive knowledge of something particularly important: import compliance.

All companies must abide by a particular set of rules indicated by the national trade organization or the respective entity in charge. They are the ones that establish the regulations for the transit of materials, along with the variable differentiation among the different elements that need to abide by their rules. These are set according to the international trades, but depending on the particular policies of each country. There could be slight changes in the requirements and standards when compared to other international sets of rules. As you surely know, every product has its own characteristics and legal requirements to enter other countries premises, and that’s when importation compliance comes into play.

The entity in charge of ensuring the compliance of products in the US territory is the Custom and Borders Protection (CBP). The CBP is the organism that makes sure that all these characteristics, inherent to the US market, are met. In the process, they ensure the particular responsibilities of each party are met. Legal liability, payments, and regulations according to the nature of the product are just some of the factors they consider in the import compliance ruling. These, along with other commercialization risks, such as payment issues and satisfaction risks, are also taken into account when inspected to fit the criteria for importation compliance.

These are just some of the things companies do to fulfill the import compliance and posterior approval:

Define a logistic field of work for all parties involved.
Create a coalition of employees, and set individual responsibilities.
Establish policies for compliance in documentations.
Review company processes and controls.
Certify all members of the operation.
Create standardized processes per product.
Define and implement record-keeping for products, according to each documentation.
