Introduction to customs declaration

Import and export declaration is one of the necessary links in performing customs entry procedures. It refers to the legal act of the consignee or his agent to declare import and export procedures and pay import and export duties to the customs. The customs conducts customs inspections in accordance with the law based on the declaration made by the customs declaration. Only after the customs inspection is correct can it be released. According to the provisions of the Customs Law, the declaration period for imported goods is within 14 days from the date when the means of transport declares the entry into the country, and the consignee or his agent declares the declaration to the customs; in addition to the customs declaration of the place of entry for imported goods transferred from customs clearance within 14 days, declaration must also be made to the customs of the place of destination within 14 days from the date when the means of transport carrying the imported goods arrive at the place of destination; if the declaration exceeds this period, the customs will impose a deferrals fee. The purpose of stipulating a customs declaration period for imported goods and imposing a detente fee is to use administrative and economic means to encourage the consignee or his agent of imported goods to declare customs in a timely manner, accelerate port transportation, and put imported goods into production and use as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, the import and export customs declaration process is divided into four steps: declaration, inspection, tax payment and release, and the corresponding customs declaration procedures are handled by a freight forwarding company with customs declaration qualifications on its behalf.
