When foreign red wine enters the port or port, it needs to go through import inspection and customs declaration procedures, pay taxes and be released. However, red wine and food products are different from other electronic products. Specifically, the import customs supervision of food products is strict, and the Food Safety Law stipulates that all imported prepackaged food products must be affixed with Chinese labels that meet the standards. If it is found that the Chinese labels that meet the standards have not been affixed or the Chinese labels have not been affixed, all will be returned to the port. So if we declare and import at the first-line port, many uncontrollable risk problems may occur, which will inevitably lead to an increase in transportation costs and even the bankruptcy of trade.

The import of prepackaged food mainly involves the review of documents before import. The certificate of origin, health certificate, ingredient list and filling date certificate provided by the winery must all correspond exactly to the packing list of the goods. Otherwise, it will delay the time for import customs clearance.

Detailed declaration elements are crucial: the name of the winery, the name of the production area, the grape variety, the bottling date, the vintage, etc.

Import distribution in bonded zones, with tax levied on imports in batches. Foreign goods entering the bonded zone warehouse are temporarily exempt from taxes. However, goods that are declared for import from the bonded zone to domestic factories need to be declared for import and pay import duties. It is also possible for large quantities of goods to first enter the bonded zone warehouse from abroad and then be declared and taxed in batches through the bonded zone for import. This can alleviate the financial pressure of one-time taxation. Additionally, red wine can be stored in the bonded warehouse and the warehousing and logistics can be outsourced.
