For cross-border e-commerce friends, import and export needs are indispensable, and logistics customs declaration is a key link in it. Although many sellers have some understanding of customs clearance, they often do not have enough depth and lack a clear understanding of the specific processes and steps. So, what are the processes and steps of international logistics customs declaration?
First, the export declaration process:
Prepare a full set of customs declaration documents and submit them to the customs broker. After the heavy container is returned to the wharf, obtain the gate paper and confirm the ship name and voyage. After entering the heavy container, it will be locked by the customs computer, and it will not be able to board the ship through the electronic gate without being released.
According to the information provided by the customer, fill in the consignment note and compile the shipping bill number. The foreign shipping ** company transmits the EDI bill to the customs according to the consignment note.
The electronic declaration form is printed at a special entry point and transmitted to the customs document examination center. After the document review center is passed, a full set of customs declaration materials will be submitted to the site for written review. After the review is passed, the customs stamps the green link of the consignment note and releases it (commonly known as the release slip) and returns it to the customs broker. After confirming the release in the customs computer, the cabinet can pass through the electronic gate. If any problems are found during the document review, they will be sent to the inspection department for inspection.
The customs broker sends the release slip to the shipping company. After the shipping company collects the release slips, it prepares a loading plan to the wharf and arranges the hanging cabinets to board the ship. At the same time, notify the foreign shipping ** company to prepare the export manifest and go through the departure procedures. The last time for the shipping company to collect and release the strip is the cut-off date.
Second, the import declaration process:
After the ship arrives at the port, the foreign shipping ** company will receive the import warehouse receipt on board, which will be transmitted to the customs computer in the form of EDI electronic warehouse receipt after confirmation by the shipping company. After the container disembarks from the ship, it is locked by the computer and cannot pass through the electronic gate without being released.
The consignor brings a complete set of import declaration materials and entrusts the customs broker to handle the import.
The customs broker brings the bill of lading endorsed by the consignee to the foreign shipping ** company to exchange the bill of lading (i.e. D o).
The customs broker prints the electronic declaration form at a special entry point and transmits it to the customs document examination center. After the document review center is approved, a full set of customs declaration materials will be submitted to the customs for written review. After the review is passed, the customs stamps and releases the bill of lading on the green link and returns it to the customs broker. After confirming the release in the customs computer, the cabinet can pass through the electronic gate. If any problems are found during the document review, they will be sent to the inspection department for inspection.
If the customs needs to pay import tax after reviewing the form, the customs will issue a special payment note for customs duties after verifying the tax. After the consignee pays the tax at the designated bank, he will take back the customer's copy and the customs deposit copy, and the deposit copy will be returned to the customs. If there is a guarantee, it can be released first and then pay the tax, and if there is no guarantee, the customs will not release it after receiving the bank receipt.
