Frequently Asked Questions（FAQ)
Q: Can you handle samples that are not for sale and have no commercial value?
A: Yes. We routinely process no-commercial-value shipments, including free samples and advertising materials. We ensure the correct customs value is declared and that you benefit from any applicable duty exemptions.
Q: What documents do I typically need to provide?
A: It depends on the commodity. Commonly: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading/airway bill, and product description. For regulated items, we may need a certificate of analysis, ingredient list, MSDS, or import license. We advise you in advance.
Q: How long does the import process take?
A: For standard non-regulated samples, customs clearance can be as fast as 1–3 working days after arrival. Goods requiring CIQ inspection or lab testing may add several working days. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your shipment.
Q: Do you provide warehousing if our goods are not needed immediately?
A: Yes, we offer short-term and project-based warehousing, including temperature-controlled storage for sensitive products.
