To do foreign trade, I am most afraid that after the goods arrive in Hong Kong, I will find that I have to pay XX% of the high tariffs to clear the customs. Finally, the destination customers choose to refuse to pay the goods, dump the goods and even return them!
Under the recent US tariffs, I believe that we have encountered a lot of such things. In addition to chasing the goods, the consignor is also worried about handling the follow-up issues. In this case, what are the treatments we can choose?

After the goods arrive in Hong Kong, the customer refuses to accept, and will usually be pulled to the warehouse or yard by the destination port. Take the United States as an example. In the United States, the customs clearance fee is about 200 US dollars. If there is a delay in port charges, cabinet rental fees, etc., it can be as high as 400 US dollars a day, and the customs clearance will be handled earlier, and the additional cost will be smaller;

Regardless of CIF, FOB, or EXW terms, the consignee does not pick up the goods at the destination port, and the terminal charges will be settled by the consignor, so you must not be lucky and ignore it.

Optional:
1, return shipping
1), can be temporarily transported to the domestic bonded area (ie domestic and foreign), the goods are returned to the bonded area for storage, labeling, replacement of packaging, testing and maintenance, etc. do not need to apply for import declaration, so there is no need to apply for customs return goods, no tax There is also no need to pay a deposit to the customs.

2) Return directly to the domestic shipping place and return to the factory.

The premise of returning the goods is to fill the demurrage and storage costs incurred in the destination port, and then the destination port agent will arrange the booking. If the export is carried out by the company, the goods will be returned after returning. You don't have to pay taxes. If you export by head-up, it is recommended to return to the bonded area and return to the new buyer.

Note: Some regions and countries refuse to accept the consignee, if the consignor wants to return the goods, the consignee's written authorization. More often, the goods are shipped at a lower value, and the consignor will not return the goods. After all, they need to bear more freight.
  
2, re-export
Replace the port of destination to the port of a third country and transfer the goods. Goods and packaging need to remove Chinese labels, can not display China-related information, and repackage. In the third country, a change of cabinets and exchanges will be carried out, and then exported to the United States. At present, there are many re-exports in Southeast Asia.


However, there are risks of goods and funds in the entrepot trade. In addition, many re-export trade agents will issue false third-party transit national certificate certificates. If they are found at the port of destination, they will be difficult to clear customs and face high fines.
  
3, abandoned
Once the foreign customer confirms the abandonment, the first time to confirm the local abandonment operation process with the carrier's foreign agent. Follow the process.
After the goods are abandoned, the customs will generally go through auctions or destroy two channels. If the customs auctions, the price will usually be very low, and the overdue fees and storage fees will not be covered.
Generally, the proceeds from the auction must be paid to the destination port to pay the sea freight, warehouse fee, storage fee, overdue fee, etc., if there is any remaining fees to continue to pay customs clearance, exchange of orders, etc. If the proceeds from the auction are not enough to pay the above, all the expenses incurred in the shipment will be paid by the consignor.

prevention:
Even if there is communication with the customer before, the customer can refuse to accept the goods due to the customer's reasons. Therefore, we must reduce such risks as much as possible when shipping.

One, To Order bill of lading
The consignee of the bill of lading tries to show to order, and the informant shows it as a real customer. Once it is easier to modify the consignee when it encounters foreign abandonment, it can find a new buyer to resell, without the original consignee giving up the declaration. But the disadvantage is that you can't do the electric discharge, you need to mail the original endorsement to foreign customers.

Second, check the import tariff rate of products in advance
