Customs declarations for consigned parts sent to Chinese PCB assembly shop

(1/3) > >>

j_omega:
I am looking for advice from someone who has experience with shipping consigned parts to a Chinese PCB assembly shop.

My experience with Chinese customs is that they will require an invoice to be included with the shipment. However, since these are cosigned parts, I do not have an invoice to document the sale of the components to the PCB manufacturer. What sort of documentation will I need to include to make Chinese customs happy?

Have you got the invoice for when you bought them?  That's what I would include.

I considered doing that. My concern is that I would have to submit a large number of receipts across several years. Many of these receipts include line-items when are not included in the shipment. It seems like this would create more confusion.

You'd need to discuss with the PCB assembly house to ensure they can import stuff without duty for re-export.  This is one of the benefits of the Shenzhen Free Trade Zone, but has time limits and probably involves a bunch of paperwork.

Also, in my experience the really critical thing is having all the HS Tariff codes documented - else things get stuck in customs for ages.

Aren't you the one that needs the create the invoice for the parts sale? Not include where you bought it.
What you need is an commercial invoice. These may not be very accurate... they are often depreciated... you know, to reduce fees.
