What We Learned我们学到的
- "Label first" saves weeks:"标签优先"节省数周： A thorough GB 7718/GB 28050 review prevents on-port relabeling and delays. 彻底的GB 7718/GB 28050审核可防止港口重新标签和延误。
- CIFER familiarity helps:熟悉CIFER有帮助： Even when Decree 248 registration is not strictly required, CIFER familiarity streamlines conversations and pre-clear checks. 即使248号令注册不是严格要求，熟悉CIFER也能简化沟通和预清关检查。
- Markings must match docs:标记必须与单据一致： Carton and pallet markings must match the documents verbatim—most "random" holds trace back to text mismatches. 纸箱和托盘标记必须与单据逐字一致——大多数"随机"扣留都源于文字不匹配。
