With paperless customs declaration, integrated customs clearance, simplified customs declaration process, and cancellation of customs declarant qualification review, the circulation of goods has become more convenient. As various customs clearance agencies providing customs clearance services, international freight forwarders face the survival pressure of independent declaration by enterprises. Customs clearance companies focus on standardized and procedural import operations for import customs clearance, and flexibly develop import plans based on the characteristics of goods supervision and customs inspection habits, combined with customer needs. They can provide customers with import difficulties consultation and guidance. How to choose a customs clearance agency for import and export goods with low timeliness and clearance costs?

1、 A law-abiding and honest company

The certification of customs declaration companies not only provides convenient customs clearance in China, but also serves as a business card for international competition. In the future, China will sign AEO mutual recognition agreements with more countries. The most well-known customs declaration company strengthens the construction of customs integrity, reduces the probability of errors, and honest enterprises will reduce inspections, gaining tangible benefits.

2、 Choose a company with a professional customs clearance team

A few years ago, the customs cancelled the qualification approval for customs declaration personnel and instead placed it under the management of local customs declaration associations, allowing more companies to hire customs declaration talents to declare independently. From the current customs data, it can be seen that the number of errors in enterprise declaration is significantly higher than that of professional customs declaration companies, and the resulting customs clearance delays have a significant impact on enterprises.

3、 Choose a company that can avoid customs valuation in advance

Professional customs declaration companies can accumulate experience in customs clearance for thousands of different industries and types of imports. They continuously update data on the quantity of imported goods, customs declaration unit price, total import price, customs price warning, etc., guiding customers to declare truthfully, reducing customs valuation risks, and improving customs clearance efficiency.

In summary, a customs clearance company with good service and reputation can avoid import and export risks by reviewing customer information and promptly handle whether old equipment can be imported or exported. For newly entered customs clearance personnel, they may not be very familiar with various goods supervision conditions, whether they can be imported, the advantages of major port customs clearance, etc. Insufficient arrival information of goods, and untimely connection between shipping companies, docks, and trailers can all affect customs clearance and increase customs clearance fees.
