When Munich Beer Meets the Chinese Customs

Holding this glass of Pauroner beer with an amber luster in your hand, at the moment when the malt aroma blooms on the tip of your tongue, have you ever thought of bringing this pure Bavarian flavor to more consumers? As a German beer brand with a brewing history of 746 years, the annual growth rate of the demand for Pauroner in the Chinese market has remained above 18% in recent years. However, to smoothly send this liquid gold in oak barrels into the Chinese market, what needs to be traversed is not only the geographical distance.

Qualification Preparation: Your Customs Clearance Password,

Before contacting a German winery, please first confirm that you hold three key keys in your hand:

• Food Circulation Permit(The business scope should include alcohol)
• Record-keeping Certificate of Importer of Imported Food
• Registration Form for the Circulation of Alcohol

In a case we served last year, a distributors container worth 1.2 million yuan was detained at Tianjin Port for 23 days due to failure to update the business scope of the license. Special reminder: Since July 2024, the General Administration of Customs has added a newOriginal Wort Concentration Detectionitem for beer imports. It is recommended to conduct pre-inspection of products in advance.

How to Crack the German Standard of Product Certification?

• It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Certificate (to be certified by the German Chamber of Commerce)

The Foam Early Warning System in the Customs Clearance Process

Among the 327 beer import businesses we handled last year, 28% of the delay cases were concentrated in three links:

• Misuse of HS code (2203.00.0090 needs to be accurate to 10 digits)
• Conflict between the filling date and the validity period of the certificate
• Wooden pallets not fumigated

the evidence chain preservation strategyPre - declaration mechanism: Submitting electronic documents 3 working days before the goods are shipped can shorten the port stay time by more than 40%.

The Secret to Localizing the Munich Flavor

Successful customs clearance is just the first step. According to the sales data we tracked, the best - performing agents often focus on the following three points:

• Cooperate with craft beer houses to launchLimited - edition packages
• 利用德国啤酒节(Oktoberfest)打造体验式营销
• EstablishThermostatic warehousingsystem (recommended storage temperature 5 - 25℃)

I remember that a certain customer found the beer body turbid during customs clearance at Qingdao Port. Later, it was found that the protein denaturation was caused by temperature fluctuations during transportation. Now their warehouses are equipped with a dual - power - supply refrigeration system. This is the business wisdom of professional agents.
