Actually, import customs declaration agency and import customs clearance are two closely related and important links in the process of goods import.
As for import customs declaration, it means that the consignor of imported goods or his agent declares the detailed situation of imported goods to the customs, such as the name, quantity, value, origin, etc. of the goods, and submits relevant documents according to the customs regulations. The customs will review and determine whether to allow the goods to enter the country and levy corresponding taxes and fees based on this information. It's like a "declaration checkpoint" for goods to enter the country.
And import customs clearance is to further complete a series of procedures such as paying taxes and fees, inspecting goods (if necessary), and taking delivery of goods after the customs declaration is completed, ensuring that the goods can smoothly enter the domestic market from the customs supervision area for free circulation. Briefly speaking, customs declaration is the preliminary declaration, and customs clearance is to complete all subsequent procedures so that the goods can actually be used in the domestic market.
