Customs inspection of the skills of fast customs clearance

 According to our years of experience, there is no way to completely avoid inspection. But there are ways to prevent it and how to deal with the inspection and speed up the customs clearance!

And it is important to note that during the unpacking and inspection, none of the customs officers are responsible for any damage to the product caused during the inspection, nor do they carefully repack the container. As a result, goods that have undergone intensive customs inspection may arrive damaged.



Customs inspection cycle and situation in each popular European country

1. Look at the German port first, the port is very strict on the quality of the product itself, labeling, and other supervision, over the machine inspection cycle in about a week, mainly to check whether there is contraband. If you open the box will probably check whether the name is consistent, the inspection cycle will be more than 2 weeks.

4. Finally, the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom is divided into 2 lines in the inspection.

Line 1 mainly focuses on document inspection, normal cargo clearance is assigned to line 1, and the inspection period is 3–7 days.

When the goods have problems in line 1, they will be transferred to line 2 for manual inspection, and the inspection period starts from 1 month.
