Do you know the Certificate of origin for tariff reduction?

Image
  CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN: A legal document proving the origin of goods, which is equivalent to the “passport” of goods. Various types of preferential certificates of origin are necessary for export products to enjoy preferential tariff treatment in the destination country. On the issue of the certificate of origin: 1. Problem: 2 companies supply for one customer, and now a container is combined. We are one of them, the SHIPPER of the bill of lading is not our company, and all the goods are made with the other party’s letterhead to make a bill of lading.

Image
 Volumetric weight: It is a type of weight that reflects the density of the goods, and the weight is calculated by the volume of the goods. Volume weight calculation formula: 1.

According to the formula one: 60 * 60 * 60 / 6000 = 36KG According to the formula two: 0.216 * 167 = 36.072KG If the volume of a batch of goods is heavier than the actual weight, it is called light goods and bubble goods.
