China export filing: linking the export control and customs declaration to clearance
Clearance in China export filing generally requires the export control and customs declaration documents first; missing certificates directly delay release.

Key points
- Used exports need the original invoice, service records and nameplate photos.
- An October 2026 MOFCOM and GACC notice brought certain tunnel boring machines and walking excavators under export control; confirm scope with the notice and customs classification.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
