In transit trade, usually the goods need to go through customs clearance twice. The first time is to carry out customs clearance in the transit country. After the goods arrive at the port of the transit country, as the operator of transit trade, Zhongshitong needs to declare the detailed information of the goods to the customs of the transit country, including the type, quantity, value, etc. of the goods, and handle the import customs clearance procedures. Only after the customs inspects the goods and they meet the requirements can the goods enter the bonded area or warehouse of the transit country for storage, processing, packaging and other operations.
The second customs clearance is when the goods leave the transit country and are sent to the destination country. The export customs clearance procedures need to be handled, and the relevant information of the goods for export needs to be declared to the customs of the transit country. Only after the customs releases the goods can they be smoothly transported to the destination country. And after the goods arrive at the destination country, the importer also needs to handle the import customs clearance with the customs of the destination country, which is also a part of the second customs clearance. The two times of customs clearance ensure the legal circulation of the goods in different links.
