PP spunbond nonwoven fabric export process for foreign trade

The entire export process of PP spunbond non-woven fabric can be divided into three core stages: early order docking, mid-term production customs declaration, and later logistics closure. The entire process is adapted to the latest customs supervision and overseas compliance requirements in 2026. The specific operating steps are as follows:

📋  Pre order and qualification preparation

• Confirmation of core qualifications: Enterprises need to complete the import and export operation rights filing in advance. PP spunbond non-woven fabrics are generally classified under the HS code 5603 series, subdivided by weight: ≤ 25g is classified under 5603.91, 25-70g is classified under 5603.12, and 70-150g is classified under 5603.13. Medical grade products need to prepare additional medical device related filing documents.
• Lock in order details: Clearly agree with the customer on core parameters such as product weight, width, and tensile strength, prioritize FOB trade terms, and use a conventional payment method of 30% T/T prepayment+70% payment upon receipt of a copy of the bill of lading. New customers should avoid full credit sales and verify whether the buyer's import qualifications are complete simultaneously.
• Compliance pre verification: Confirm in advance the special requirements of the destination country, the EU needs to provide a REACH compliance declaration, the US contact skin products need to comply with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 standard, and the FOB price of 8-70g products from Colombia cannot be lower than $2.58/kg, otherwise anti-dumping differential tax will be levied.

🏭  Production stocking and document preparation

• Production and Quality Inspection: Production shall be completed in accordance with the contract requirements, and each batch shall be accompanied by weight and tensile test reports issued by CMA institutions. Medical grade products shall also be supplemented with microbiological testing certificates to ensure that all indicators meet the standards stipulated in the contract.
• Packaging specifications: The inner layer of the rolled product is wrapped with waterproof plastic film, and the outer layer is reinforced with a woven bag or pallet. The outer packaging is clearly marked with the mark, product name, weight, roll number, and net weight, and labeled with a "moisture-proof" warning sign to avoid deformation caused by moisture during long-distance sea transportation.
• Complete document preparation: Prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, and trade contracts in advance, and apply for General Certificate of Origin CO or Generalized System of Preferences Certificate of Origin FORM A as needed for customs clearance at the customer's destination port to enjoy tariff reductions.

🚢  Booking and export customs declaration

• Logistics booking: Book with the freight forwarder 7-14 days in advance. PP spunbond non-woven fabric belongs to light cargo and is charged based on volume and weight. Priority should be given to selecting top shipping companies with stable routes.

• Domestic customs declaration: Submit electronic declaration through the China International Trade Single Window, truthfully declare the product material, weight, width, and purpose, cooperate with customs to complete inspection, prepare product samples and ingredient descriptions in advance, and avoid delays caused by classification doubts.
• Shipment release: After customs clearance, arrange for shipment and promptly send the complete set of documents including bill of lading, invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin to the customer for customs clearance at the destination port.

💰  Closing Foreign Exchange and Tax Refunds
