Risk alert
Common risks
Where this cargo most often gets held up. We check each point before it ships.
- Item 01
Damp paper products
Printing paper and notebooks wrinkle when damp. Stretch-wrap whole pallets and add desiccant.
- Item 02
Office equipment not declared
Electrical equipment such as shredders and binding machines must be listed separately.
- Item 03
Liquids and sprays mixed in
Insecticides, cleaning products and aerosol cans mixed into household goods and declared as general cargo are a common reason for inspection.
- Item 04
Product names too broad
“One lot of household goods” doesn’t match any HS code, and customs will ask for more information.
