Full-Chain Logistics Process for South Australian Rock Lobster

1. Pre-Arrival Preparation: Lay the Foundation for Fast Clearance

• Document Collection & Verification: We collect all required documents (detailed below) and verify their authenticity, completeness, and consistency—focusing on the accuracy of the lobster’s origin, batch number, and hygiene certification.

• GACC Pre-Declaration: We submit the preliminary declaration to Guangzhou Customs via the "Single Window" system, including the lobster’s species (Jasus edwardsii), quantity, weight, value, and storage conditions. This allows customs officers to review the information in advance and speed up the on-site clearance process.

• Cold-Chain Resource Allocation: We reserve a dedicated 2-4℃ cold-chain vehicle and a temporary storage space in our Guangzhou warehouse, ensuring immediate transfer upon cargo arrival.

2. Guangzhou Airport Pickup: Efficient & Vitality-First

1. Delivery Order (D/O) Handling: We quickly obtain the D/O from the airline or freight forwarder, cross-verifying the Air Waybill (AWB) number, cargo description, and consignee information to avoid any errors.

2. Authorization & Certification Presentation: We present the legally signed Letter of Authorization (LOA), our company’s seafood logistics qualification certificate, and the pre-declaration receipt to the airport’s perishable cargo warehouse, ensuring smooth access.

3. On-Site Vitality & Temperature Check: Our professionals inspect the lobsters’ vitality (activity, shell integrity) and check the packaging’s internal temperature with a digital thermometer. If any issues are found, we immediately take emergency measures (such as replacing gel packs) and report to you with photos and videos.

4. Fast Loading & Cold-Chain Transfer: The lobsters are quickly loaded into our pre-cooled cold-chain vehicle, with the entire process taking no more than 20 minutes to avoid temperature fluctuations.

3. Customs Clearance: Compliant & Fast for Seafood

1. Official Declaration Submission: We submit the complete set of documents and the formal import declaration to Guangzhou Customs, clearly stating the lobster’s origin (South Australia), breeding method (wild/farmed), and quarantine status to meet the requirements of China’s "Imported Seafood Safety Supervision Measures."

2. Customs Risk Assessment & Inspection: If the cargo is selected for on-site inspection, we coordinate with customs officers to conduct the inspection in a dedicated cold-chain inspection area to avoid temperature loss. We provide additional materials (such as the exporter’s GACC registration certificate) if needed to prove compliance.

3. Quarantine Sampling (If Required): For random sampling inspections, we arrange for the samples to be sent to an authorized inspection agency with priority, ensuring the test results are issued within 24 hours. During this period, the lobsters are stored in our temperature-controlled warehouse to maintain vitality.

4. Duty & Tax Calculation & Payment: We accurately calculate the import duty (usually 10% for South Australian Rock Lobster) and value-added tax (9%), provide a detailed cost breakdown, and complete the payment on your behalf. We ensure full transparency with no hidden fees.

5. Clearance Release: Once the customs and quarantine procedures are completed, we obtain the "Customs Clearance Certificate" and "Inspection and Quarantine Qualification Certificate," allowing the lobsters to legally enter the Chinese market.

4. Cold-Chain Warehousing: Safe Preservation

• Constant Temperature Zone (2-4℃): The warehouse uses a central air-conditioning system with precision temperature control, with a temperature fluctuation range of no more than ±0.5℃. Humidity is maintained at 75-80% to prevent the lobsters from drying out.

• Classified Storage: We separate different batches, sizes, and orders of lobsters to avoid cross-contamination and confusion. Each batch is labeled with a unique QR code, allowing you to check the storage time and temperature history at any time.

• Flexible Storage Options: We offer short-term storage (1-7 days) and long-term storage (1-30 days) with competitive rates. For long-term storage, we regularly check the lobsters’ vitality and replace the packaging materials to ensure quality.

5. Door-to-Door Delivery: Freshness to Your Fingertips

• Customized Delivery Routes: We plan the shortest and least congested routes using real-time traffic data to minimize delivery time. For urgent orders, we offer express delivery with a guaranteed arrival time.

• Real-Time Temperature Tracking: Each cold-chain vehicle is equipped with a GPS and temperature sensor, allowing you to track the vehicle’s location and the cargo’s temperature via our official website or WeChat mini-program.

• Final Vitality Check & Handover: Upon arrival, our delivery staff conducts a final vitality check with you, presents the relevant clearance documents, and obtains your signature for confirmation. We assist with unloading and provide guidance on temporary storage methods.
