The date of entrusted agency import should usually be filled in based on the date of actual declaration of import of the goods. This is because this date marks the entry of the import process into the crucial customs declaration link, which is of great significance for customs statistics, tax assessment, and the implementation of relevant regulatory requirements.
Filling in the date of signing the entrustment contract is not appropriate. Although the signing of the contract determines the entrustment relationship, the import business has not been substantially advanced at this time, and the import time may be postponed or changed due to various factors later. And the actual arrival date of the goods is only the time when the goods arrive at the destination port, which is not equivalent to the completion of the import declaration.
If filled in wrong, it may affect the normal customs clearance of imported goods. For example, if the customs finds a logical inconsistency in the date during review, it may require the provision of additional explanations or a re - declaration, thus delaying time and increasing costs. Therefore, when filling in the date of entrusted agency import, make sure it is the actual date of declaration of import of the goods.
