Importing from China into Kenya? Since 1 September, KRA requires importers to obtain and keep, for five years, the export declaration from the country of export: exporter, importer, goods, value, HS code. For China goods, that is a Chinese customs document.

So before you pay the balance, ask the supplier in writing: whose name goes on the Chinese declaration as exporter? Is your company the consignee? Do the value and HS code match your commercial invoice? Will they send you a copy with the shipping documents?

If you ship through a consolidator's door-to-door service, put the same questions to them. Clearing agents reported delays at Mombasa in September. Paper is easier to fix in China than at the port. We work from Shenzhen for your port — Gulf, Africa, EU, US, AU.

Importing wooden furniture from China into the EU? "Made in China" won't settle your deforestation-rule check. The EU rates China low risk, but the rule cares where the wood grew, not where the chair was built. It applies from 30 December 2026 for medium and large firms.

So the question for the factory isn't "is your wood legal?" Ask: for each wood part, what species, harvested in which country, from which plot, and can my order's wood be kept apart from other lots? If nobody can answer, you want to know before the deposit.

Timing: a wooden-furniture order placed now, with normal production and sea freight, can easily clear EU customs after 30 December. Get the answers in writing before production starts, not at the port. We work from Shenzhen for your port — Gulf, Africa, EU, US, AU.

If your China goods came into the US on DDP terms, check one thing before you count on an IEEPA tariff refund. CBP pays those refunds to the importer of record on the entry. On a DDP deal, that is often not the buyer.

If the importer of record wasn't you, CBP is not who you talk to. Any money back runs through your agreement with whoever was, and how the duty showed on your invoice matters. That is a question for a customs lawyer, not a forum.

Next order: DDP can still be the right call. Get the importer of record named in writing before you pay, and a 7501 for every entry after. Duty paid inside someone else's price is duty you can't see. We work from Shenzhen for your port — Gulf, Africa, EU, US, AU.

Last week's US–China "30-for-30" list was reported as tariff relief on bed linen, toys and household goods. Read the list before you reprice. It's 77 lines of 8-digit HTS codes, and the fibre or one product feature decides whether you're on it.

For a blend, the fibre that predominates by weight sets the line. That's decided at the factory by the yarn they buy, not by your listing title. So the fibre composition belongs in the PO, and the composition label gets checked against it before shipment.

Nothing has been cut yet. No rates, no date; USTR Greer said this week there's no timeline. Price your next order on today's duty. Find your 8-digit code on the list, then wait for the notice. We work from Shenzhen for your port — Gulf, Africa, EU, US, AU.
