Agency import customs declaration involves multiple procedures. Firstly, it's about receiving orders. The agency company receives the relevant documents provided by the importer, such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, etc. These are the basic materials for customs declaration.
Secondly, it's the declaration. The agency enters the information into the customs declaration form according to the document information and declares to the customs. This step requires ensuring that the information is accurate, otherwise it will affect the progress of customs clearance.
Moreover, it's tax calculation and payment. The agency determines the tax rate based on the commodity code, calculates and pays tariffs, value-added tax and other taxes on behalf of the importer.
The inspection procedure is also crucial. The customs may conduct random inspections on the goods. The agency should cooperate with the customs officers to inspect the goods to ensure that the goods match the declaration.
Finally, it's the release. After the customs approves and the taxes are paid off, the goods will be released. The agency arranges pick-up and subsequent distribution and other matters. In short, agency import customs declaration covers the entire process from document processing to goods release.
