[Important Reminder] Nansha Port + US Customs are currently very strict. Please pay attention to these points in advance.

Policy changes have been concentrated during this period and have entered a continuous tightening phase.

Current changes will directly affect shipment rhythm, customs clearance efficiency, and overall customs clearance stability. It is recommended to clarify the key points in advance to avoid being passive during the execution process.

01 Nansha Port is currently very strict, especially for 9810 / 9710

Recently, Nansha Port has significantly strengthened its review of 9810 / 9710 (cross-border e-commerce exports).

Once the system shows "stuck for review and clearance," the processing path is fixed, and release can only be achieved by canceling the order and exiting or by the legal representative appearing in person to cooperate with the processing.

Customs is currently focusing on verifying the consistency between the principal and the documents, including whether the declared company matches the actual shipper, whether the system declaration is consistent with the documents, and whether there are any cases of affiliated or borrowed principals.

The execution method has been front-loaded. Once intercepted, the processing cycle is uncontrollable, directly affecting warehousing arrangements and shipping schedules.

• Cancel order and exit
• Legal representative appears for processing
• Warehousing delay
• Risk of full shipment cancellation
• Assess Nansha customs clearance stability
• Trend of shipping via Yantian Port within the industry has emerged
• Prioritize stable channels

02 U.S. "5H Inspection" focuses on declaration authenticity and entity compliance

Recently, U.S. Customs has intensified the enforcement of "5H Inspections," and this trend has become normalized.

The inspection logic revolves around data authenticity, with a focus on cross-validating from the dimensions of price and Importer.

Customs will compare declared data with historical declaration data, market price ranges, and publicly available prices on e-commerce platforms, while continuously tracking the Importer's historical behavior records.

Once abnormal prices or risk characteristics of the entity are found, the goods will enter the review or inspection process.

• Manual review
• Increased inspection probability
• Cargo detention
• Return shipment

03 Customs clearance review standards have significantly increased

The current review logic is highly standardized, with the core being whether the data is complete, reasonable, and consistent.

Customs identifies risks through cross-data comparison, and all declaration information must be verifiable.

Requirements for documents and product names have significantly increased. All documents must be in complete English, and invoices, packing lists, and product descriptions must have clear information expression.

Product names must be able to reflect the material, purpose, and product attributes, otherwise the system cannot complete classification and judgment.

• Documents in full English
• Product name includes material + purpose + attributes
• Avoid: accessories / samples / miscellaneous goods

In terms of value, the system can identify abnormal prices. Once the declared data falls below a reasonable range, the probability of inspection will significantly increase. Goods with lower prices among similar products will be prioritized for the review process.

In terms of coding, HTS not only affects tax rates but also directly impacts risk identification.

If there is a classification error or avoidance behavior, it will be recorded by the system and affect subsequent customs clearance.

• Whether to trigger inspection
• Whether it is determined to avoid tax rates
• Whether it affects subsequent customs clearance

04 Recently frequently inspected categories of goods (real industry situation)

From the perspective of actual execution, the categories that have been inspected have shown a concentrated trend of significant increase.

These categories usually have a large price fluctuation range, complex classification, and a history of low reporting, making them more easily identified by the system as abnormal data.

• Battery-operated products (batteries / electronics / lithium batteries)
• Furniture / plastic / storage
• Textiles (clothing / home textiles)
• Mixed packaging of multiple SKUs

05 Typical situations triggering inspections currently

Many inspections stem from data structure issues rather than a single error.

The system will make comprehensive judgments based on historical and structural data. Once it detects unstable or inconsistent data, it will trigger risk identification.

• Importers with significant short-term fluctuations
• Significant price differences among similar products
• Multiple people sharing the importer

06 The actual impact of pre-review in Nansha

Nansha has entered the pre-review stage, with reviews completed before release.

The system will directly intercept problematic data at the front end, rather than releasing it and then conducting random checks.

Once intercepted, the processing cycle is significantly extended, and it usually cannot be quickly resolved by simply supplementing materials.

• Inconsistent documents (weight

/ quantity / product name)

• System field mismatch
• Main entity inconsistent with business

07 The industry is showing obvious stratification

The industry has already shown a clear trend of stratification, and this difference is being continuously amplified by the system.

Clients with standardized materials and stable declarations tend to have stable overall shipments; while clients with large data fluctuations and vague documents have an increasing frequency of inspections.

• Standardized clients → Stable
• High-risk clients → Increased inspections

08 Three standards for quickly assessing the risk situation of a shipment

If the e-commerce platform price cannot be matched, the product name cannot be understood by non-professionals, or there is recent instability in multiple ticket data, this shipment meets the conditions for being identified by the system.

• Whether the price can be benchmarked
• Is the product name clear?
• Is the data stable?

09 Customs' current actual risk control logic

The current customs system screens for risks through multi-dimensional data comparison. The core is to judge through three types of data relationships: horizontal, vertical, and structural. If any dimension shows an anomaly, it may enter the inspection process.

• Horizontal: Market price / Similar data
• Vertical: Historical records / Importer trajectory
• Structural: Product name, code, value logic

010 Relationship between weight and value

The system judges data reasonableness through unit value, which is the relationship between the declared value and weight or volume.

If the weight is large but the declared value is low, or the volume is large but the amount is abnormally low, it will be directly identified as a risk.

• $/KG
• $/CBM

011 What is "reasonable declaration"?

The core of reasonable declaration lies in data being interpretable and within a reasonable range.

As long as the price source is clear and close to the market range, it will not be prioritized by the system.

• Not significantly lower than the market
• Interpretable source
• Close to the industry range

012 Key recommendations regarding Importer

Importer has become one of the most critical risk points currently.

The system continuously records its historical behavior. Once flagged as abnormal, all subsequent shipments will be affected.

Therefore, it is recommended to maintain the stability of the main entity as much as possible, avoid frequent changes or shared use by multiple people, and ensure that it has a real business background.

• Long-term stability
• Avoid frequent changes
• Avoid shared use
• Maintain real business

013 Risks of SKU Complexity

The risk of mixed multi-SKU shipments is increasing, mainly due to the difficulty in description, complex coding, and unclear price structures, which can easily lead to overall data inconsistency.

It is recommended to split descriptions for different product categories and perform coding and classification separately.

• Categorized description
• Avoid "miscellaneous goods"
• Code splitting

014 Higher-level judgment standards

You can use a simple standard to judge:

Whether the entire shipment conforms to the basic characteristics of a normal trade, including clear product names, reasonable prices, matching codes, stable data, and credible entities.

If these elements are met simultaneously, the customs clearance pass rate will be significantly higher.

The current changes are very clear; the system is screening, and data is determining the outcome.

The importance of experience is declining, while the importance of data quality is continuously increasing.

Declaration information is true, complete, within a reasonable range, and can withstand comparison.

015 Suggestions

• Product Name: Material + Purpose + Attributes
• Cargo Value: Within market range
• Code: Consistent with product

The current policy not only affects new shipments but also in-transit goods and operational routes.

For goods involving the Nansha 9810 / 9710 mode, it is recommended to assess customs clearance stability in advance and adjust the export port if necessary.

Regarding documentation, all materials must be in English to avoid triggering reviews due to description issues.

Furthermore, according to U.S. Customs regulations, fines and related fees arising from false declarations, non-compliant documents, or incorrect classifications will be borne by the declarant.

For goods that have been shipped but not yet cleared, there is still a window for adjustments. It is recommended to review the documents as early as possible to reduce arrival risks.

Before shipping, confirm the customs clearance route, Importer, and declaration logic to avoid passive backend processing.
