For the customs declaration in the re-exporting country, first of all, relevant documents should be prepared, including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, etc., to ensure that the information on the documents is accurate and consistent. Secondly, declare to the local customs, fill in the re-export trade customs declaration form truthfully, and indicate the key information such as the source, destination and trade mode of the goods. When declaring, pay attention to providing the true value of the goods to avoid under-reporting or over-reporting. In addition, the packaging and shipping marks of the goods also need to meet the requirements to facilitate the inspection and identification by the customs. If the goods involve the management of license certificates, relevant licenses should be handled in advance. Compared with the customs declaration for general trade, the customs declaration for re-export trade emphasizes more on the circulation path of the goods and related proofs. After the customs declaration is completed, closely follow the feedback from the customs and handle subsequent matters such as inspections in a timely manner to ensure the smooth export of the goods.
In short, accurate documents, truthful declaration and timely follow-up are the keys to the customs declaration in the re-exporting country.
