Pain Points for Imports to Mongolia
Logistical Hurdles
Mongolia faces logistical hurdles due to its landlocked status, often leading to bottlenecks and congestion. This leads to a significant dependence on China or Russia, which come with their own set of regulations and challenges. TecEx knows the ins and outs of navigating not only trade into Mongolia, but also China and Russia, and is able to provide a comprehensive solution to get your goods into Mongolia in the most effective and efficient way.
Revaluations
Tech goods are prone to revaluation by customs upon arrival in Mongolia. This means that the declared value of goods may be reassessed to ensure compliance with local Mongolian import regulations. If customs officials find any documentation that is inaccurate or valued incorrectly, additional fines will occur, along with shipment delays. This makes it crucial that all valuations are accurate and in order.
