After fulfilling various obligations and going through customs declaration, inspection, tax payment, release and other procedures, the goods can be released and the owner or declarer can pick up the goods.
The advantage of general trade declaration is that it can import a large number of needed materials, and all taxes and related expenses collected by the customs will be provided by it. The tax it provides can play the role of tax deduction and tax refund for enterprises. But the limitations of general trade import are also great.
As far as express import is concerned. Its advantages are obvious. First of all, it does not require the owner to provide the documents and relevant certificates of the goods. Secondly, because the required information is only the commercial invoice and packing list of the goods, the time and speed required for the import of express mail are relatively fast, and it usually takes one or two days from receipt to import clearance to the mainland.
If you encounter a lot of goods, you can declare the import in batches, so the import of a large number of goods can also be operated by express mail. Express imports are mostly applicable to: integrated circuits, communication products, alcohol, cosmetics, precious leather goods, small tonnage machines, etc.
Extended data:
There are both connections and differences between customs clearance and customs declaration. Both of them are related to the entry and exit of means of transport, goods and articles, but from the perspective of the relative person of customs administration, customs declaration is a one-way process, which only points to the customs for entry and exit procedures and related procedures.
Customs clearance is a two-way process, which includes both the process that the customs administrative counterpart goes through the relevant entry and exit formalities with the customs, and the management process that the customs supervises and manages the inbound and outbound means of transport, goods and articles according to law and approves their entry and exit.
