China is a major source for electronics, machinery, garments, and raw materials for Nepali businesses. The smoothest imports happen when you treat paperwork and HS codes as seriously as price negotiation.
1. Confirm your importer setup in Nepal
Ensure your business registrations, PAN/VAT status (if applicable), and importer readiness are in order. If your goods need special permits, start early.
2. Choose shipping route and Incoterms
Decide whether you’re using FOB, CIF, or other terms. Your chosen term affects the customs value basis and what documents you must request from the supplier.
3. Collect documents from the supplier
Invoice, packing list, transport documents (BL/AWB), and product specs. For some goods, you may also need certificates, test reports, or labels.
4. Verify HS code before goods depart
HS code errors cause valuation disputes and duty surprises. Verify the code based on product specification and intended use.
5. ASYCUDA filing and customs procedure
Your broker prepares ASYCUDA entries, uploads supporting documents, and responds to queries. Clean submissions reduce amendments.
6. Inspection, valuation, and payment
Customs may inspect goods or request additional documents. Once taxes are assessed, payment is processed and release steps follow.
7. Delivery and post-clearance record keeping
Keep a structured file for future audits: ASYCUDA declarations, payment receipts, invoices, and permits. Strong records protect you later.
