Customs clearance of cargo from China is even more important than its delivery. After all, if the customs clearance of goods from China is delayed, this can entail huge losses in the form of downtime and fines. In order for the whole procedure to go smoothly and take a minimum of time, it is necessary to correctly, clearly and on time draw up all the documents and collect the necessary permits.
Instructions
Step 1
Collecting complete information about the cargo, a selection of TN VEDU codes for each cargo has its own required list of documents. It is important not to miss anything at this stage. In the future, it will be much more difficult to obtain any document, and in some cases it will be completely impossible. Many certificates are issued exclusively until the moment the goods are shipped from the manufacturing plant. Please note that the names of the documents are correct in both languages. For example, instead of a "certificate of conformity", the Chinese side often proposes a "certificate of destination". Customs may require both documents.
Step 2
Preparation of permits and approval of the method for determining the customs value As a rule, goods are delivered from China at a low declared value. It is in the interest of customs to take a lot of customs duty, so Chinese goods are checked with great care. The presence of documents confirming the actual value of your product does not guarantee that the inspector will limit himself to just studying the documents. The value of the cargo can be adjusted in accordance with the average market price for similar goods. As a result, the customs duty will also increase significantly.
Step 3
Submission of a package of documents to the customs authority Please note that incorrectly drawn up documentation and errors in the indication of information about the cargo may cause delays in the goods and the imposition of fines.
Step 4
Payment of customs duties.
Step 5
If you are faced with the need to clear goods from China for the first time, perhaps it makes sense not to take on this business yourself, but to find a good customs broker or a specialized company. It will come out a little more expensive, but quickly and reliably.
