I want to start a coral bonebusiness. What compliance points should I pay attention to, how should I plan logistics, and what should I do during business negotiations?

For coral bone import agency，the HS code must first be clarified. If it belongs to endangered wild fauna and flora products (check CITES appendix)，an "Endangered Species Import/Export Permit" must be obtained，otherwise，customs will detain the goods and impose penalties. Customs inspection focuses on the authenticity of the goods and consistency of documents. False declaration of product names or importing without a license will face huge fines or even criminal liability. It is recommended to confirm the legality of the source of goods in advance and require the supplier to provide compliant documents such as certificates of origin and quarantine certificates to avoid agency risks caused by supplier non-compliance.

For coral bone import logistics, it is recommended to prioritize sea freight (FCL or LCL). Packaging must be moisture-proof and pressure-resistant (wooden crates + cushioning materials are recommended). Choose CIF (we are responsible for transport insurance to reduce client's cargo loss risk) or EXW (client controls the pickup process) for Incoterms. Logistics costs need to be calculated in advance, including sea freight, destination port miscellaneous fees, and customs clearance agency fees. It is recommended to sign a lump-sum contract with the freight forwarder. Before customs clearance, prepare endangered species certificates (if any), certificates of origin, and phytosanitary certificates (coral bones are marine organisms, quarantine requirements need to be confirmed) in advance. Submit customs declaration within 24 hours after arrival, cooperate with customs unpacking inspection (focusing on checking species, quantity, and documents) to avoid demurrage fees.

During business negotiations, emphasize the dual guarantee of 'compliance + professional logistics', for example, 'Our team has successfully acted as an agent for XX batches of coral bone imports, with 100% compliant documents and 30% faster clearance time than peers', to enhance client trust. For payment methods, it is recommended to use TT + L/C for the first cooperation (TT deposit, balance upon copy of B/L or L/C) to reduce risks for both parties. Contract terms must be clear: if customs clearance delay is caused by our document issues, agency fees are waived; if client-provided information is incorrect, extra costs are borne by the client. For daily maintenance, regularly share industry policy changes and port inspection trends to make clients feel you are a 'knowledgeable' partner.
