First，confirm the accuracy of the commodity HS code. Wrong codes will lead to overpayment of tariffs or regulatory risks. For commodities requiring import licenses (such as food，cosmetics)，apply for approval in advance，and prepare quality certificates for the commodity inspection link. Strictly prohibit false reporting of prices and underreporting of quantities. Customs audits trace back 3 years. Violations will face fines，goods detention，and affect corporate credit ratings.

Choose sea freight LCL for transportation to reduce costs. Prioritize negotiating DDP (freight forwarder all-inclusive clearance) or EXW to control source costs for Incoterms. Sign long-term agreements with freight forwarders to consolidate shipments and dilute freight costs. Prepare documents and declare accurately before clearance to avoid demurrage fees. In terms of timeliness, clearance can be done 3-5 days after arrival by sea. Choose air/sea freight according to turnover needs.

Business negotiation emphasizes 'long-term + volume'. Scripts like 'Our downstream channels are stable, monthly sales volume XX, can sign annual agency agreement' to strive for low prices. Negotiate 30% advance payment + 70% cash on delivery for payment, or letter of credit to protect both parties. The contract specifies quality, delivery time, and claim clauses, such as 'free replacement for non-compliance in random inspection within 7 days of arrival'. Provide company qualifications and past cases (mosaicked) to build supplier trust.
