What are the key points for filling out the transit trade customs declaration form? Can anyone explain it in detail?
Solved#Entrepot trade#
Our company has recently been involved in transit trade business. It's the first time we've come into contact with filling out the relevant customs declaration form, and we're completely at a loss. I would like to ask how to fill out the transit trade customs declaration form specifically? What are the requirements for each piece of information? Are there any special points that need attention? I hope that friends with experience can explain it in detail, and it would be better to illustrate with actual cases so that it's easier for me to understand.

The filling of the transit trade customs declaration form needs to be rigorous. First of all, clearly fill in "Transit trade" in the "Trade method" column.
For the "Country (region) of departure" and "Country (region) of destination", if there is no trading relationship at the transit place, the country (region) of departure is the country of origin, and the country (region) of destination is the final destination country; if a trading relationship occurs, fill in the transit place for both the country (region) of departure and the country (region) of destination.
In the "Commodity name, specifications and models" column, fill in truthfully and in detail, including key information such as the brand, material, and function of the commodity.
In the "Quantity and unit" column, accurately fill in the actual quantity of imports and exports and the corresponding measurement unit.
Take Zhongshitong as an example. There was once a transit trade order where the customs declaration was delayed due to inaccurate marking of the commodity material. Therefore, be sure to be careful when filling out to ensure the information is true and accurate.
