Core Services: Garment Inspection, Customs Declaration & China Import Export Logistics
China is the world's largest garment producer and exporter, with "made in China" garments accounting for over 30% of the global textile and apparel market. Garment import and export business involves strict inspection procedures and standardized customs declaration requirements, as textiles and apparel are closely related to safety, environmental protection and consumer health. Betterluck Shipping focuses on the characteristics of garment products (light weight, large volume, easy to wrinkle, strict inspection standards) and provides targeted services covering the entire logistics chain of garment import and export, including professional garment inspection, efficient customs declaration and reliable global transportation.
Our services are tailored for various garment categories, including finished apparel (men's wear, women's wear, children's wear, sportswear, underwear, etc.), fabrics (cotton, linen, silk, chemical fiber, blended fabrics, etc.), accessories (buttons, zippers, threads, labels, etc.) and home textiles (bedding, towels, curtains, etc.). Whether you are a Chinese garment factory exporting to global markets or an overseas importer purchasing garments from China, we can provide you with customized logistics solutions that meet international standards and local market requirements.
1. Professional Garment Inspection Services
Garment inspection is a key link in garment import and export business, which directly affects product quality, market access and customs clearance smoothness. We cooperate with authoritative third-party inspection institutions (SGS, Intertek, BV) and have a professional inspection team familiar with global garment inspection standards (EU OEKO-TEX Standard 100, US CPSIA, UK REACH, etc.). Our garment inspection services cover the entire process from production to shipment, ensuring that your garments meet the quality and safety requirements of the destination market.
Pre-production Inspection: Inspect raw materials (fabrics, accessories), production equipment and production process to avoid quality problems from the source.
In-production Inspection: Conduct on-site inspection during garment production, including sewing quality, size deviation, color fastness, fabric defects, etc., and put forward rectification suggestions in a timely manner.
Pre-shipment Inspection: Conduct 100% or random inspection of finished garments before shipment, including appearance quality, size consistency, color matching, label compliance, packaging integrity, quantity verification and safety indicators (formaldehyde content, heavy metal content, azo dyes, etc.).
Customized Inspection: According to customer special requirements, conduct targeted inspection items, such as washability test, wear resistance test, shrinkage test, etc.
After the inspection is completed, we will provide a detailed inspection report with photos and test data, which can be used as an important basis for customs declaration, payment and after-sales service. Our inspection services ensure that your garments avoid quality disputes and customs detention, and smoothly enter the destination market.
2. Efficient Garment Customs Declaration Services (Import & Export)
Garment customs declaration involves complex procedures and strict document requirements, especially for textiles and apparel which are subject to quota management, tariff preferences and safety certification in many countries. We have a professional customs declaration team proficient in China's import and export customs regulations, global garment customs clearance rules and HS code classification for textile products. We can help you complete efficient and smooth customs declaration procedures, save time and cost, and avoid customs clearance delays and fines.

Key Points of Garment Customs Declaration
HS Code Classification: Correctly classify garment HS codes according to material (cotton, linen, silk, chemical fiber), type (finished apparel, fabric, accessory), use (adult, children) and other factors. The correct HS code is the basis for smooth customs declaration and accurate tax calculation.

Customs Clearance Notes & Required Documents (Must Read Before Inquiry)
To ensure the smooth customs clearance of garment goods and avoid unnecessary delays and losses, customers must confirm that the destination port can complete customs clearance smoothly before inquiry, and provide the following complete and true documents and information as required (in line with garment import and export regulations and local market requirements):
Required Documents & Information for Garment Import & Export
Supplier contact information (phone number, email address, company address, official seal)
Packing List (detailed list of garments, including product name, type, material, quantity, weight, volume, size, color, packaging method, HS code, etc., must be consistent with the invoice information)
Proforma Invoice (detailed information of garment value, including unit price, total price, currency, trade terms, payment method, country of origin, etc., must indicate "made in China" for exported garments from China)
Cargo photos (clear photos of garment appearance, details, labels and packaging, which can prove the authenticity of the goods)
Packaging method (description of garment packaging material and packaging form, such as carton, hanging garment bag, moisture-proof packaging, etc.)
Photos after packaging (photos of garments after final packaging, to confirm the packaging integrity and safety)
Genuine MSDS data consistent with the actual goods (for chemical fiber fabrics, garments with chemical accessories and flame-retardant garments)
Certificate of Origin (Form A, Form E, etc., which can help enjoy preferential tariffs in the destination market)
Garment inspection report (issued by authoritative third-party inspection institutions, including quality inspection, safety indicators test, etc., in line with the destination market standards)
Label samples (garment labels must include product name, material composition, size, country of origin, washing instructions, safety warnings (for children's wear), etc., in line with the destination market requirements)
Shipping time (expected departure time and required arrival time, special requirements for delivery time)
Special requirements (such as temperature control requirements, fragile garment handling requirements, special customs clearance requirements, emergency delivery requirements, etc.)
Key Notes for Garment Customs Clearance
Label Compliance: Garment labels must meet the requirements of the destination market. For example, EU requires labels to be in local language (English, German, French, etc.), indicate fabric composition and washing instructions; US requires children's wear labels to include CPSIA safety warnings; China requires imported garments to have Chinese labels.
Safety Indicators: Garments must meet the safety requirements of the destination market, such as EU OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (formaldehyde content ≤ 20mg/kg for infant wear), US CPSIA (lead content ≤ 100ppm for children's wear), etc. Non-compliant garments will be detained or returned by customs.
HS Code Classification: Correctly classify garment HS codes according to material, type and use. For example, cotton men's shirts (HS code 62052000), chemical fiber women's dresses (HS code 62044300), children's wear (HS code 62092000). Incorrect HS code classification will lead to customs clearance delays and fines.
Quota Management: Some countries (such as the US, EU) have quota management for certain garment categories. Customers must obtain quota certificates before import and export, otherwise customs clearance will not be possible.
Document Consistency: Ensure that the information on the packing list, proforma invoice, certificate of origin, inspection report and label is completely consistent. Any inconsistency will lead to customs suspicion and cargo detention.
Garment Import & Export Logistics Process
Betterluck Shipping provides a simple and efficient one-stop logistics process for garment import and export, combining the characteristics of garment products and global logistics operations. Customers only need to cooperate with the provision of relevant information. The specific process is as follows:

After the inspection is completed, we provide a detailed inspection report to the customer.
Step 3: Prepare Documents & Cargo Pickup
Customers prepare all required documents according to our reminder (packing list, invoice, certificate of origin, inspection report, MSDS, label samples, etc.). We provide door-to-door cargo pickup service from Chinese garment factories (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, etc.) to our designated warehouse, or customers can deliver the goods to our warehouse. Our team will check the goods and documents to ensure that they meet the transportation and customs clearance requirements.

After the customs clearance is completed, the garments are loaded into the aircraft or container according to the transportation method. We inform the customer of the ETD (estimated departure time) in time and provide the air waybill (AWB) or bill of lading (B/L) number for cargo tracking. At the same time, we sort out the relevant documents and send them to the customer and the destination agent in advance.
Step 6: Transit & Cargo Tracking
During the transportation process, we track the cargo dynamics in real time through our intelligent cargo tracking system. Customers can check the cargo status (departure, transit, arrival, customs clearance) in real time through our official website or customer service. Our professional customer service team updates the cargo dynamics every 24 hours and feeds back any unexpected situations and handling plans to the customer in a timely manner.
Step 7: Arrival & Customs Clearance at Destination Port
When the garments arrive at the destination port, our cooperative agent completes the local customs clearance procedures with the prepared documents. We coordinate with the agent to solve any problems encountered during customs clearance, ensuring that the garments pass customs clearance smoothly.
Step 8: Delivery & After-Sales Service
After the customs clearance is completed, we provide inland transportation services from the destination port to the customer's warehouse, retail store or designated location. After the goods are delivered, we follow up the customer's satisfaction in a timely manner, collect the customer's feedback and provide after-sales service (such as handling cargo damage claims, solving follow-up logistics problems, providing regular logistics reports), ensuring that the customer's needs are fully met.
