For FOB export of high activity quicklime particles, the following steps can be followed:
1. Sign a trade contract: Clarify FOB trade terms, payment methods, delivery time, goods specifications, and other terms with the buyer to ensure that the contract complies with INCOTERMS 2020 and the laws and regulations of both countries.
2. Preparation of goods: Produce or purchase goods according to contract requirements, and quality inspection can be conducted through third-party testing agencies. Lime particles are prone to moisture absorption and require moisture-proof packaging, such as coated paper bags, which can also be wrapped with stretch film or placed with desiccants outside the packaging. At the same time, ensure that the packaging is clearly labeled with transportation labels, cargo information, and safety warnings.
3. Arrange transportation: The buyer is responsible for sending a ship to pick up the goods, and the seller must load the goods onto the ship designated by the buyer within the specified period. The seller shall promptly provide the buyer with information on the gross weight, quantity, volume, and location of the goods, so that the buyer can designate a freight forwarder to book the shipment. If it is bulk cargo, the seller shall deliver the goods to the warehouse according to the warehouse receipt provided by the freight forwarder; If it is a full container load, the seller needs to arrange trailer loading based on the pre configuration information provided by the freight forwarder.
4. Customs declaration: Prepare customs declaration forms, commercial invoices, packing lists, contracts, certificates of origin and other documents, and declare them through the electronic port system. The customs code for high activity quicklime particles is 2522100000, and the export tax rebate rate is 0%.
5. Loading and notifying the buyer: After the goods are loaded onto the ship, the seller shall promptly notify the buyer that the risk is transferred from the seller to the buyer when the goods are loaded onto the designated ship at the loading port.
6. Prepare transportation documents and settle foreign exchange: The seller needs to prepare transportation documents such as bills of lading and settle foreign exchange according to the payment method stipulated in the contract. If payment is made by letter of credit, the seller must ensure that the documents are consistent with the terms of the letter of credit.
