What does customs clearance of international express cargo mean?

Customs clearance, also known as customs clearance, means that imported goods, exported goods and transshipment goods entering a country's customs territory or national territory must declare to the customs, go through various procedures stipulated by the customs, and perform obligations stipulated in various laws and regulations; only Only after fulfilling various obligations and completing customs declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other procedures can the goods be released and the owner or declarer can take delivery of the goods. Similarly, all means of transportation carrying imported and exported goods must be declared to the customs, go through customs procedures, and obtain permission from the customs when entering or exiting or transshipping. During the customs clearance period, whether the goods are imported, exported or transshipped, they are under customs supervision and are not allowed to circulate freely.

Simply put, customs clearance requires declaration, various procedures, inspection (whether it is contraband or sensitive goods), taxation (based on the declared value and quantity), and release. Therefore, it is particularly important to declare the total value and the type of goods. If you accidentally put a meat knife or something, the goods will be detained in minutes.

How long does it take for international express import customs clearance to arrive?

The time for customs clearance of international shipments varies depending on various factors. Normally, the normal international customs clearance process takes 3 to 5 working days. However, under some special circumstances, such as customs inspection or emergencies, customs clearance time may be extended.

Under what circumstances will the customs clearance time for international shipments be extended?

1. Customs inspection: If customs believes that the goods are a potential threat or have problems, they may conduct a thorough inspection of the goods, which may lead to extended customs clearance time.

2. Missing or wrong documents: If some necessary documents are not submitted or the content of the documents is incorrect, the customs will need to arrange for supplementation or resubmission, which will also extend the customs clearance time.

3. Holidays and weekends: The process of international customs clearance requires the participation of personnel. If the customs clearance period falls on a holiday or weekend, the studio may not operate normally, which will also affect the customs clearance time.
