Import customs clearance is a necessary process for foreign products or food to enter the country. Goods that have not been approved cannot enter the country. What is the significance of import customs declaration? What is the main purpose?

The so-called import declaration mainly includes two methods: general trade import and import processing enterprises, with the latter accounting for a larger proportion. For general trade imports, it is necessary to first determine the customer's payment method, which is usually wire transfer or letter of credit payment. Letter of credit payment can be more complicated, as a letter of credit needs to be issued first to confirm the arrival date of the ship before starting the import operation. The entire import customs declaration process is even more complicated, as the first step is to obtain the bill of lading, invoice, packing list, etc. from the foreign customer

The significance and main purposes of import customs declaration can be divided into the following parts:

1、 In order to comply with the legitimate import and export of goods. Ensure that the transactions between import and export partners are legitimate transactions, and customs clearance is a crucial step in fulfilling customs import and export obligations. Following the correct procedures not only allows for normal entry and exit, but some industries may also receive corresponding support from the government.

2、 In order to ensure the stable development of society, it is necessary to control the types of imported and exported goods. Due to regional differences, products from each region comply with local regulations but do not comply with market regulations in China. Importing these goods into China is irresponsible to the domestic population, and in order to eliminate such situations, special requirements are also made when importing.

3、 To ensure the traceability of the source of goods. Each batch of goods is imported from different places. If there is no corresponding import customs declaration, it will be difficult to directly trace the source of the goods through the relevant customs declaration form in the later sale or other unsafe factors. This is necessary to solve after-sales problems.
