Notes, not clearance

CCC / CIQ when the dest is China — lamps, plugs, and food-contact

Inbound to Chinese ports is not “the same container, opposite direction”. Name the SKU family that actually needs CCC or CIQ. Do not promise clearance.

Who holds the certificate

CCC is often on the Chinese importer or the brand owner, not on a foreign wholesaler. If your lamp, plug, or appliance needs CCC, the importer of record must already have a path — catalogue, agent, or exemption. A factory video does not replace that file.

CIQ and commodity inspection

Food-contact, some toys, and a slice of electrical goods still hit inspection at Chinese dest. Write material, standard, and intended use on the PI. Do not ship “kitchenware, mixed” and hope the yellow channel is kind.

This page is a door, not a licence

We publish the question so search can find it. We do not issue CCC. We do not act as a CIQ agent. If a seller on this site promises “we will clear 3C for you, just wire”, treat it as a red flag.

  • Does furniture into Shanghai need CCC?

    Most contract seating does not. Lamps, power strips, and some children’s items may. Ask the PRC importer’s broker with the SKU, not with a hall name.
