Import Case: How to Handle China Customs Clearance for Peat Soil ?


In some low plains in which rivers and lakes deposit and mountain valleys with rich aquatic vegetation, a lot of plant residues that have not been sufficiently decomposed accumulate in lack of oxygen and form soil with pear layers. This type of soil is known as peat soil.   Peat Soil is very suitable to grow flowers as it is loose and breathable. Please note that peat soil is not soil. It is Peat (peat) (in swamp (wetland), the organic ore body formed by the dead and rotten accumulation of aboveground plants (whether dry or wet)). Seahog Logistics, a China customs broker with 25 years of experience, recently helped import a shipment with peat soil from Poland. The shipment, transited in Hong Kong, arrived at Shunde where its China customs clearance was completed by our company. As pictured, you can see the customs declaration sheet and the photos taken at the inspection spot.
