Check import feasibility before foreign goods move toward China.
BoMao supports selected inbound-China projects by coordinating overseas supplier information, product and document preparation, and qualified China-side service providers. The first question is whether the actual product, origin and receiving structure are workable.
INITIAL FEASIBILITY
Start with the product and receiving structure, not with a freight quote.
Some products need licences, registrations, testing, special labels or specific importer arrangements. Others may be impractical for the intended transaction. Those questions should be surfaced before cargo is committed.
What is the product?
Description, materials, intended use, model and any known HS or regulatory information.
Where is it made?
Origin country, overseas supplier/exporter identity and manufacturing status.
Who receives it in China?
Named Chinese receiving entity, intended buyer/user and delivery location.
What evidence exists?
Commercial documents, origin records, certificates, test reports or product registrations already available.
How much and when?
Quantity, shipment frequency, commercial value and required arrival window.
What is the intended import structure?
Known Incoterm, importer arrangement and any appointed broker or China-side specialist.
FOUR FEASIBILITY GATES
The project should pass all four before import execution is planned.
Product feasibility
Identify whether the product creates restrictions, registration, testing, certification or special declaration requirements before commercial commitment.
Exporter readiness
Confirm that the overseas supplier can provide the product, commercial and origin information needed by the China-side receiving structure.
China receiver / importer
Establish the lawful receiving/import arrangement and the party responsible for declaration, tax and regulated obligations.
Document readiness
Map commercial, transport and product-specific documents to the party responsible for preparing or submitting each item.
OVERSEAS SUPPLIER SIDE
The exporter must be able to provide usable commercial and product information.
Commercial basis
Supplier identity, seller entity, invoice basis, quantity, value and agreed delivery terms.
Product basis
Description, materials, intended use, model/specification and packing details.
Origin / manufacturing
Country of origin and any origin evidence required for the transaction.
Product evidence
Certificates, test reports, registration information or declarations where relevant to the actual product.
CHINA-SIDE RECEIVING STRUCTURE
Regulated import work belongs to the appropriately qualified China-side parties.
Receiver / importer
The lawful entity responsible for receiving or importing the goods under the agreed transaction structure.
Customs / declaration provider
Qualified broker or declaration agent where customs formalities are required.
Testing / certification
Qualified bodies where the product requires testing, inspection, registration or certification.
Warehouse / domestic delivery
Receiving, storage or China domestic transport providers where included in the project.
WHEN THE PROJECT CAN PROCEED
Import coordination begins after the feasibility questions are resolved.
