MOOV Customs Clearance Knowledge
Customs clearance is an important link in international trade. Through customs clearance, the safety and legality of goods can be guaranteed. Customs clearance is a necessary procedure to allow goods to be shipped out (exported) or brought into (imported) a country through an authorized customs broker, in this process, there is also import and export shipment information pertaining to the parties involved in the process.
We can also define customs clearance as the document issued by the customs authorities to the shipper. This document usually indicates that the shipper has paid all duties and their cargo is cleared for export.
Customs clearance information: The documents and related information of the goods submitted to the customs when the goods depart or arrive. Documents generally include bills of lading, commercial invoices, bills, packing lists, etc.
Customs inspection: The customs inspects the goods to ensure that the information on the goods is true and accurate, the quantity, status, and packaging of the goods meet the requirements, and that the goods do not violate customs regulations.
Duty Calculation: It is best to have the help of a customs broker in this process as they are responsible for paying taxes and import duties. These taxes are calculated based on the type of goods you ship, the declared value, the customs laws of the country you are shipping to, and the shipping method and Incoterms you choose.
Taxes : If there are unpaid taxes and duties, customs will demand payment. There are two options for payment, one is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), which means all taxes and import duties have been paid in advance by your customs broker. The other is DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), if this is the case, customs officers will transfer the goods to an independent customs broker for processing and collection of payment. In this case, an additional fee will be charged. Therefore, if the goods are marked as DDP, taxes and duties need to be paid.
Release : After customs verification, the goods are allowed to pass through the customs and a release form is issued. From this point of view, if the customs declaration materials, duties and taxes are handled properly, the goods will be shipped smoothly to the destination.
Note: The customs clearance process may vary slightly depending on the country or region, please refer to the actual situation.
Any incomplete or wrong customs clearance information and other factors will cause your goods to fail to pass the customs clearance of the customs department.
