The general process of transit trade customs clearance is as follows: First, the goods arrive at the transit port. The freight forwarder will pre-declare relevant information to the customs before the goods arrive at the port. After the goods arrive at the port, the bill of lading exchange operation will be carried out, changing the ocean bill of lading into the delivery order. Then, a formal declaration will be made to the customs, submitting a series of documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading. The customs will inspect the declared content and the goods. If the goods match the declaration and there are no problems, they will be released. After the release, the goods will be arranged for storage or transshipment. If it is transshipment, the transshipment information needs to be declared to the customs again, and the relevant transshipment procedures need to be handled. After that, the goods will be arranged to be loaded onto the means of transportation heading for the final destination port. Throughout the process, attention should be paid to the accuracy and timeliness of the documents to ensure the smooth customs clearance of the goods.
