Among the common ways of customs declaration for agency imports, the customs declaration for general trade is the most common. If the quantity of goods is small and the value is low, the customs declaration for express can be faster. Note that you should communicate well with the agent and clearly explain the situation of the goods so that they can accurately declare the customs.
