[Nhcoll-l] Import to China

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Dirk

The way I read this it is only for "dutiable" (where duty needs to be paid) items of which natural history specimens are not and is also not mandatory.  Not sure this is a huge issue...

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Import to China

Hi all,

just want to resume my previous posting regarding shipping natural history specimens to China.

1. Import requirements for China have apparently changed 1.Jan.2012 http://www.cn.dhl.com/content/dam/downloads/cn/express/brochures/china_order_33_briefing_deck_for_customers_v2010-07-07.pdf

A 10-digit CR code is required to facilitate import to China. This CR-code is not the same as the harmonised customs HS-Code for zoological or botanical collectors items (which is 9705 00).

2. Has anyone recently sent specimens to colleagues in China ? If so, which CR-Code did you use ?

I could not find any information on CR codes in the net (there are many sites telling you that you would need an CR-Code without referencing
them) or ont he website of the Chinese customs authorities. Might be provided on the Chinese version of the site?

Any information would be appreciated!


Dirk
