We have a company registered in China, the US, and Spanish. We help companies with quality asurance, organizing freight, and procurement.
A lot of our clients in the US have asked us to reroute their Chinese goods through our Spanish company.
this is fraud
When you receive the good as an importer you sign a legal document verifying the country of origin. If you are signing that the Chinese goods are made in EU, you will be liable if discovered.
Invoices, packings lists, and certificates (FDA approvals, CE approvals) all will reveal the fraud. If checked, you will be discovered. Do not do this.
The goods need to be “wholly transformed” for a the country of origin to be altered. At the very least this means assembly. Repackaging, dilution with water, and similar minor processes usually do NOT cause a substantial transformation.
Please be careful.
Wheb big corpos launder goods, they’re not just sending them to offshore fulfillment centers to be repackaged. You will get caught evebtually if you try this.
