2 import customs declaration
Import declarations should be divided into two methods: general trade import and import processing companies.
Let me first talk about general trade imports. For general trade imports, we must first determine the payment method, which is T/T, or L/C. If it is L/C, we must first issue the certificate. After the letter of credit is opened, the import schedule will be determined and the vessel will wait. Later. Import operations begin.
1. The first step is to obtain foreign customers' bills of lading, invoices, packing lists, and purchase contracts. If goods are imported from South Korea and Japan, they must also have non-wooden packaging certificates.
2. First, take the bill of lading to the shipping company to change the bill, that is, take the bill of lading and return the bill of lading of the batch of goods from the shipping company, that is, the manifest. Above is the detailed shipping information for your company's imported goods.
3. Import goods that need to be checked in advance should go to the Commodity Inspection Bureau to do commodity inspections. In fact, the change orders and commodity inspections should be conducted in advance. If the imported goods do not require commodity inspection, it will not be used. In fact, the goods you import need to be checked without a commodity inspection. You can let your freight forwarding agent check it for you. You can also check it by yourself and use the commodity code book.
4. After the change is completed, if commodity inspection is also required for commodity inspection, fill in the import declaration form to the freight forwarding for customs declaration. The information required for customs declaration is: invoice, packing list, purchase contract, and delivery from the shipping company. Single, customs declaration and procedural power of attorney, import goods declarations, if necessary commodity inspection and commodity inspection certificates and other special cargo customs need to provide documents, such as automatic import licenses.
5. General trade Import goods must be subject to import duties and value-added tax. Therefore, in order to speed up the import clearance, it is best to open a verbal check (but this way the general corporate finances will not agree) and other customs After the payment book, a check will be issued. Those who normally import goods to the Customs are required to pay by cheque. The tariff is usually paid to the Bank of China. After paying customs duties, the bank will give you a copy of the bank's stamp on the payment book.
6. Deliver the payment book to the freight forwarder, and then pass it to the customs for customs clearance. This is generally referred to as a release.
7. After the Customs receives the customs duty, it will cover the customs clearance stamp on the bill of lading and take the bill of lading to the port where the shipping company is located to pick up the goods. (This is commonly referred to as secondary release)
Import processing trade imports, its general procedure is similar. The only difference is the manual. (Regarding how to deal with the manual and then re-opening the subject) is divided into the feed processing manual and the incoming processing manual. At the time of customs declaration, the manuals for processing trade should be used, together with the information required by a few general traders for customs clearance.
Then there is the payment of customs duties. Because there are manuals, if you import goods that are tax-free, you only pay the deposit. Some of them are required to pay the full amount, that is, 100% of the deposit, and some of the deposit is only 100 yuan. These margins and all the above-mentioned items in your handbook for exporting finished nuclear products are all finished. You must write off, and after you write off the guarantee money you paid, you will return a lot of points to you. The same procedure applies to tariffs that are traded in general trade. Only one is a tariff and one is a deposit.
3 Import Customs Procedures
Under normal circumstances, the import declaration procedures are divided into four steps: declaration, inspection, taxation and release.
1. declare
At present, there are generally three types of customs declaration methods: oral declarations, written declarations and electronic data exchange declarations, of which the latter two are mainly in the form of declaration.
According to the "Customs Law" of China, the deadline for declaration of imported goods is within 14 miles from the date of entry of the means of transport. If it is not reported to the customs within 14 days, the price of CIF (or CIP) of imported goods shall be levied by the customs on a daily basis. 0.5 ‰ lagging in gold. If the goods are not declared to the customs within 3 months, the goods will be withdrawn and sold by the customs unless there are special reasons.

China's "Customs Law" imposes the same deadline for the import of goods as the export goods. Imported goods shall be tax paid at the normal C1F price as verified by the customs. When the C1F price cannot be determined, the customs value is determined by the customs.
The basic formula for calculating import tariffs is: import tariffs = duty-paid prices × tariff rates
The following points should be noted when calculating tariffs:
1) The import tax payment form is RMB. Where the imported goods are valued in foreign currencies, the intermediate price of the foreign exchange quoted value of the Renminbi announced by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange at the date of issuance of the certificate by the Customs shall be converted into the equivalent of RMB. Foreign currencies not included in the renminbi foreign currency exchange rate table shall be converted into renminbi at the exchange rate determined by the foreign exchange administration department of the country.
2) Duty-paying prices are calculated to yuan, and yuan is rounded up to the next. The amount of the customs tax is calculated until the minutes are divided, and it is rounded off as follows.
3) The tariff of one-ticket goods is tax-free below RMB 10 yuan.
