General Trade Advantages and Disadvantages

The advantage of the general trade declaration is that you can import large quantities of the required materials,

export goods

and will provide Customs levied all the taxes and related costs. The tax provided by the enterprise can play a role in tax credits, tax refunds. But the limitations of general trade imports are also very large, one: for bulk and more urgent need to use the goods, general trade can not reflect the advantages it has. Because first of all, it requires customs clearance time is relatively slow (general trade imports require various documents, approvals must be complete, the processing time will take a long time). Secondly: it requires imported goods must be imported using a separate trailer separate customs declaration, which will cause the cost of imported goods and time delays. General trade is mostly applied to: production of raw materials, machinery production line, and other high-value goods in bulk.

Advantages of express import

The advantages of express import are obvious. First of all, it does not require the owner of the goods to provide documents and related certificates, and secondly, because it requires information is only the goods of commercial invoices and packing lists, so the time required for express imports and the speed is relatively fast, from receiving the goods to the import customs clearance to the mainland is generally within one to two days. If there are more goods, can be declared in batches to import, so the import of large quantities of goods can also take the express import operation. Express import is mostly applied to: IC, communication products, liquor, cosmetics, precious leather goods, small tonnage of machinery, and so on.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of express and general

When it comes to the cost of importing, general trade imports are significantly higher than express imports. This is because it requires all the fees and taxes to be levied on a single shipment, but because it can provide the corresponding invoices and tax certificates. These are essential for companies that need them. The disadvantage of express import is not to be able to issue a separate invoice to the customer levied by the Customs, because it is in the process of importing the entire batch of goods generated by the import tariffs and import value-added tax, and this part of the tax at the time of importation by the commissioned logistics company offset, but if there is a need for bills can be handled in other ways, is also completely legal. Because the time and cost of express import is much lower than the general trade, so there are a lot of customers choose this type of import. On the above content. The obvious advantage of express import over general trade import is that express import takes less time, is faster, and the procedures are simpler, which is definitely better than general trade import.

Importing different goods should choose a different way of import customs clearance, the customer in the import customs clearance is generally concerned about the time required for the import of goods, the cost of customs clearance, the safety of the goods of these issues.
