Customs clearance of imported goods is the key to the circulation of imported goods in the domestic market. The core issue is whether the customs clearance documents are complete and correct, according to Watson & Band Import and Export Data Observation Report.

The reporting documents required for imported goods include contracts (copies are sufficient), original packing lists, original invoices, original bills of lading, original entrusted customs declaration agreements, import customs declarations and various documents involved in customs supervision conditions. (The client of the entrusted customs declaration agreement must have the company sign the document, and it must be the original copy. Faxed and photocopied customs declarations are invalid. Some companies waste time and expenses because they do not pay attention to this point).

According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, after receiving a full set of import documents from the exporter, it is necessary to find out which shipping company the imported goods belong to; which one is the shipping agent, and where can I exchange the bill of lading for customs clearance, etc. question. Contact the shipping company or shipping agency to determine the time and location of the ship's arrival (if you need to transfer the ship, you should confirm the name of the second-way ship), and confirm the time, procedures and replacement fee with the shipping company or shipping agency in advance. The original bill of lading with endorsement (if the goods are released by the city telegram, the fax copy of the telegram bill of lading and the letter of guarantee can be brought) or bring a full set of original bill of lading to the shipping company and shipping agency that have been contacted in advance to exchange for the bill of lading for customs clearance.

For example, a foreign-funded enterprise imports a container of goods from Germany. The consignee of the bill of lading shows: "TO ORDER FO SHIPPER", and the consignor does not endorse the bill of lading. After the ship arrives, the bill of lading cannot be exchanged, and the original bill of lading has to be sent to the German exporter for endorsement. When the original endorsed bill of lading is obtained in exchange for the bill of lading for customs declaration, it has been more than ten days since the ship arrived at the port, resulting in delayed declaration and other expenses.

The original invoice and original packing list must be signed. Of course, some invoices and packing lists can be signed by hand.
