Import customs clearance: Customs clearance means customs clearance, which refers to the procedures that should be performed in accordance with various laws, regulations and regulations when importing, exporting or transshipment goods enter and exit the customs territory of a country. Import declaration: Import declaration is one of the necessary links in the customs entry procedures that should be performed for overseas goods entering my country for sale or circulation. The import declaration needs to strictly follow the national legal requirements for relevant operations, and it is necessary to fully provide the materials required by the country.
The main forms of import declaration: 1. Commodity trade import; 2. Processing enterprise raw material import.
The two import methods generally have the same customs declaration process. They must first obtain the bill of lading, invoice, packing list and purchase contract from foreign customers. After getting the bill of lading, take the bill of lading to the shipping company to change the bill, and obtain the manifest of this batch of goods from the shipping company. The manifest contains the detailed shipping information of the company's imported goods. Check the manifest online, and after obtaining the information, declare this batch of goods, and fill in the import declaration form to the forwarder for pre-recording declaration. (The customs declaration materials that need to be prepaid include: sea bills, invoices, packing lists, purchase contracts, customs declaration and inspection power of attorney, customs declaration forms for imported goods, and documents that need to be provided by the customs for special goods, such as certificates of origin, automatic import Licenses, animal and plant quarantine certificates, all kinds of filings, etc.) After the relevant departments review the declaration and pass the computer review, and pay the import duties and value-added tax (most of them use electronic payment), the customs clearance will be released.

There are mainly two types, the incoming processing manual and the incoming processing manual. When making customs declarations, use the manual of processing trade, plus the information required for general trade for customs declaration.

Full refund. In particular, it is important to note that duties and deposits are not an expense.
The difference between customs clearance and customs declaration: Both customs clearance and customs declaration are the declaration processes that need to be performed for inbound and outbound products such as means of transport, goods, and articles when entering and leaving the country.
However, customs declaration is from the perspective of the relative person in the customs administration, and it only refers to the customs to go through the entry and exit procedures and related procedures, which is a one-way process.
Customs clearance is a two-way process, including not only the process of customs administrative counterparts going through relevant entry and exit procedures with the customs, but also the customs supervision and management of inbound and outbound means of transport, goods and articles in accordance with the law, and the management process of approving their entry and exit.
