Document processing plays a pivotal role in surveillance cameraImport and Export Tradeimport/export. Comprehensive agency services have rich experience and professional teams in this aspect. Taking exports as example, when preparing commercial invoices, we accurately fill in key information like product description, quantity and value to ensure consistency with actual goods. Packing lists also detail model numbers and quantities of cameras in each package, providing accurate basis for transportation and customs clearance.

For import documents, we carefully review bills of lading, certificates of origin and other documents. As proof of cargo ownership, we ensure authenticity and validity of bills of lading to avoid risks like release without original bills. Certificates of origin relate to preferential import tariffs - we help clients accurately obtain and use them to reduce import costs. When handling various documents, we strictly follow international trade rules like UCP600 (Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits), ensuring document consistency and smooth bank review to safeguard payment security.

Excellent logistics arrangements

Logistics directly affects timeliness and costs of surveillance camera import/export. With years of industry experience, comprehensive agency services have established long-term stable cooperation with numerous global logistics providers.

When exporting toThe Russian MarketWhen considering that surveillance cameras are electronic products with high requirements for transportation conditions, we usually select appropriate shipping methods. For large shipments with relatively flexible timelines, rail transport is a good option due to its large capacity, relatively low cost, and high safety. For urgent orders, air transport ensures fast delivery. During transportation, we implement proper packaging protection to prevent damage during handling and transit.

For the Southeast Asian market, sea freight is the primary transportation method due to geographical proximity. We strategically plan shipping routes, combining port characteristics and vessel schedules to select optimal solutions. For example, when shipping from China to Singapore, we monitor Singapore Ports congestion levels, book space in advance to ensure timely loading and unloading. Simultaneously, we utilize modern IT for real-time cargo tracking and provide logistics updates to keep clients informed.

Introduction

In surveillance camera trade with Russia, foreign exchange settlement is critical. Our company offers unique VTB bank settlement convenience for the Russian market. VTB Bank, a major Russian financial institution, maintains excellent cooperation with us.

The settlement process typically follows: After exporting cameras to Russia, Russian clients remit payment to our designated VTB account. Upon receipt, VTB verifies fund sources per regulations. After approval, the bank converts foreign currency to RMB and transfers to our domestic account. This streamlined process reduces settlement time and exchange rate risks. Compared to conventional channels, VTB settlement accelerates fund receipt, improves capital turnover, and supports business growth.
