What is customs clearance? Customs clearance refers to the procedures that import, export or transshipment goods must go through when entering or leaving a country in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country. The goods can be released and the owner or the declarer can take delivery of the goods only after fulfilling the obligations and handling customs declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other procedures. Similarly, all kinds of means of transport carrying import and export goods are required to declare to the customs, go through the customs formalities and get the permission of the customs. During the customs clearance period, whether imported, exported or transshipped, the goods are all under the supervision of the customs. If there is no customs clearance, the goods are not allowed to circulate freely.
For import and exported goods, generally they are imported through trade declarations, and there is another type of import through express mail. Then the general advantage of import trade is to be able to import goods in large quantities. However, this kind of customs clearance will be slower, and the procedures are more complicated. So if it is imported by express, this kind of advantage is faster customs clearance, but can not import goods in large quantities.
The process of customs clearance is as follows:
First, you need to go to the freight forwarder or shipping company to change the D/O. The second step is to declare electronically, and you need to contact the customs in advance to pre-record, examine and send the documents in the computer system. The third step is to apply for inspection. After the electronic declaration is released, you need to go to the Commodity Inspection Bureau to go through the declaration procedures with the customs declaration form and issue the customs clearance form or seal. The fourth step is to hand over the order at the customs site. The fifth step, the customs will inspect the goods according to the relevant information of the goods. After the inspection, the customs will issue an inspection notice. The last thing is to wait for customs clearance.
