When we do international trade, we just want to issue more orders. Then issuing orders will involve exports. Exports are inseparable from customs declaration. The general customs declaration process will be complicated due to the large number of documents and documents. Most of them are complicated. Customs declaration refers to the declaration and other procedures that the owner or agent handles with the customs when goods, goods, etc. enter or leave the country. This includes declaring to the customs, submitting documents for inspection, and accepting customs supervision and inspection. Newbies to foreign trade may not be particularly clear about the customs declaration process. Let’s first use a simple flow chart to explain what the customs declaration process is like:
The description in the picture is relatively simple. Let’s take a look at the text description below. Customs declaration process:
1: Domestic exporters contact the transportation company (or foreign customers contact the transportation company under FOB terms). Usually the exporter will make trailer customs declaration through the freight forwarder (or directly contact the shipping company), etc. One-stop service.
Two: The freight forwarder will be responsible for arranging trailering, booking, customs declaration, and shipment procedures based on the information provided by the exporter (destination country of goods, weight, volume, etc.).
Three: Before arranging trailer transportation of the goods (or at the same time as transportation), the exporter needs to provide the customs declaration information necessary for export declaration (foreign exchange verification form, export contract, invoice, packing list, customs declaration entrustment certificate, and certificates required for export according to the customs supervision of the country where the goods are subject to: such as licenses, etc.)
Four: When the goods are transported to the designated export port by trailer (determined based on the shipping company and ship name at the time of booking) (export port), when the container enters the terminal yard gate, it begins to be formally supervised by the port customs. At this time, whether the container enters or exits the terminal yard, it must obtain the consent of the customs before it can continue to operate. (Sometimes after the container is returned to the yard, it is discovered that the goods are short-packed, have quality problems, etc., and it is necessary to take the container out of the dock again. You must apply to the customs for the "supervised release" procedure, and the customs will supervise the container to leave the dock when the actual situation is consistent with the report. 5. The customs broker submits the information to the customs based on the customs declaration documents provided by the customer and the data after the goods are put into the warehouse. After the customs review is passed, the customs broker will hand over the release note to the terminal for computer confirmation. Whether to release or not, stamp the terminal confirmation stamp after confirmation, and then the customs broker will hand over the release note to the shipping agency, and the shipping agency will load the ship for export according to the release note. This is the entire customs declaration process.
From the picture and text, I feel that customs declaration is a very simple matter, but if the documents are incomplete, it will be a very troublesome matter. Let’s take a look at what specific documents are required for customs declaration?
1: Customs declaration form for import and export goods. For general import and export goods, two copies should be filled in; for goods that need to be verified by the customs, such as processing trade goods and bonded goods, a special customs declaration form should be filled in three copies. ; If the goods require domestic tax refund after export, a separate special customs declaration form for tax refund should be filled out.
Two: Goods invoice, goods packing list,
Three: Export foreign exchange receipt verification form. When declaring all export goods, an export foreign exchange collection verification form stamped with the "Supervision of Foreign Exchange Collection" seal should be submitted to the foreign exchange management department for inspection, and the verification number should be filled in the upper right corner of each export customs declaration form.
Four: In the goods contract, when the customs deems it necessary, the certificate of origin of the goods shall also be submitted for inspection.
Five: There are other relevant documents. Including:
(1) Goods approved by the customs for tax reduction and exemption shall submit a tax reduction and exemption certificate signed by the customs. Foreign-invested enterprises in Beijing must also submit a list of imported equipment issued by the customs;
(2) Goods imported and exported under a processing trade contract that have been registered with the customs must submit the "Registration Manual" issued by the customs for verification.
At this time, you may have a question, what if our company cannot provide customs declaration information? Don’t worry, exporters without import and export rights can export through trading companies, who will provide the above documents and handle the subsequent procedures for settlement of foreign exchange, payment and tax refund. Some exporters can even directly buy an export verification form and customs declaration information to declare for export without tax refund, and solve the payment problem themselves. Customs declaration is the direct cause of whether goods can be exported normally. We must pay attention to customs declaration matters.
