How to accelerate clearance speed

In import and export trade, as importers and exporters, facing the complex import work, how can we obtain goods as early as possible and in good condition. This is probably the most concerning issue for importers. Here we introduce several good import methods to you, so that you can receive the goods as intact as possible in the shortest possible time.
(1) Prepare a complete set of customs declaration documents with complete and accurate procedures. Accelerate the clearance speed and avoid delayed reporting and transfer of goods. The clearance of imported goods is the key to the entry of imported goods into the market circulation, and the core issue is whether the clearance documents are complete, correct and accurate.
The required customs declaration documents for imported goods include the contract (copy is sufficient), original packing list, original invoice, original bill of lading, original entrusted customs declaration agreement, and import customs declaration form. After receiving the complete set of import documents from the exporter, it is necessary to investigate which shipping company the imported goods belong to, which company acts as the shipping agent, and where to exchange for a bill of lading for customs clearance. Contact the shipping company or shipping agency in advance to determine the arrival time and location of the vessel. If transshipment is required, confirm the name of the second leg vessel. Confirm in advance with the shipping company or shipping agency the time, procedures, and replacement fee for the replacement order. Bring the original bill of lading with endorsement (if it is a telegraphic release, a fax copy of the telegraphic release and a letter of guarantee can be provided) or a complete set of original bills of lading to the pre contacted shipping company or shipping agency to exchange for a bill of lading for customs clearance. (Note: A bill of lading fee is required, and a container detention fee is required for container imports)
Attention: If the consignee column on the bill of lading shows "TO ORDER" during endorsement, the shipper's endorsement is required; If the consignee column displays "TO ORDER OF SHIPPER", the shipper's endorsement is required; If the consignee column shows the true consignee, the consignee's endorsement is required. A letter of guarantee is a written proof issued by the importing party to the shipping agent requesting the release of goods. The contents of the letter of guarantee include the port of import, destination port, vessel name, voyage, bill of lading number, weight measurement, and the signature and seal of the importer. Go to customs with the exchanged bill of lading and attach the complete set of customs declaration documents.
For example, a certain foreign-funded enterprise imports a container of feed additives from Singapore. The consignee column of the bill of lading shows "TO ORDER OF SHIPPER", and the shipper has not endorsed it on the bill of lading. After the ship arrived, it was not possible to exchange for a bill of lading, so the original bill of lading had to be sent to the Singapore exporter for endorsement. But when obtaining the endorsed original bill of lading to exchange for the bill of lading for customs declaration, it was already more than 10 days before the ship arrived, resulting in expenses such as delayed reporting.
After receiving the complete set of import documents from the exporter, it is necessary to confirm that the exporter provides the original invoice, original packing list, bill of lading, and the name of the goods in the contract. Is the label, quantity, gross weight, and size consistent on a single order. The original invoice and packing list should have a signature, and some invoices and packing lists can also be manually signed. The commodity code of the goods should be confirmed, and then the customs tariff should be consulted to confirm the import tax rate and what regulatory conditions are required for the goods. If inspection is still required, it should be reported to the relevant authorities for inspection before customs declaration. The required documents for inspection include inspection application form, packing list, invoice, contract, and import customs declaration.
The required documents for customs declaration include a commissioned customs declaration agreement, one invoice, one packing list, one delivery note, one contract, and various documents related to customs supervision conditions.
The time limit for customs declaration and the collection of late declaration fees for imported goods is within 14 days from the date of declaration of entry by the means of transportation. The starting date for the collection of late declaration fees shall be from the 15th day from the date of declaration of entry by the means of transportation, until the date when the customs declaration unit declares the import and export procedures of the goods to the customs. The late declaration fee is charged on a daily basis, including the date of declaration by the consignee or agent to the customs. The daily collection amount of the late declaration fee is 0.05% of the landed price of imported goods. The amount of late fee collection is equal to the amount of customs duty, value-added tax, and consumption tax payable multiplied by the number of days of late payment/1000.
It should be noted that the client of the entrusted customs declaration agreement must have the company's signature and seal, and it must be the original. Fax and copy customs declaration are invalid. Some companies waste time and incur unnecessary expenses due to not paying attention to this point.
With the correct procedures and complete customs declaration documents, I believe your imported goods will pass customs smoothly.
