What is the customs inspection method?

 In Europe, the most common customs inspection methods are mainly divided into X, X-ray machine inspection, document inspection, and manual inspection. 

X-ray machines mainly check whether the goods are concealed or contraband and so on. If there is no abnormality, the inspection cycle is generally 48 hours. If there is any abnormality, it will be upgraded to manual inspection, the inspection cycle will be extended again.

The document inspection mainly checks the HS code, cargo value, and other declared information. Information, the most common is the customs code requirements to modify, and declare the value of goods to increase. If the HS code modification proposal provided by the customs and the seller’s original tax rate is similar, it is straightforward.

The original tax rate of the seller is about the same, directly according to the advice they provide for the change. Not only can you reduce the time, but you can also save unnecessary inspection. You can also save unnecessary inspection and warehouse rental fees. If the seller thinks that the customs offer is unreasonable. If the seller thinks that the customs are not reasonable, he/she can submit all relevant materials and certificates to the customs.

If you encounter a low declaration of inspection, it is recommended that it is best to declare a one-time price to a slightly higher level than the normal price, for fast release. If the seller raises the low declaration back to the market after the inspection price, the product may still be rejected or even detained, especially the products that have been inspected.

Finally, during the manual inspection, the seller receives the notice of inspection and the need to request as soon as possible to prepare the details of the goods, goods corresponding to the box mark, relevant certificates, test reports, and other customs requirements to make up the materials required by customs. If the single goods do not meet the customs requirements, a large quantity.

If a single shipment does not meet the customs requirements, a large volume or even a whole container may be opened for inspection. Therefore, it is important to ensure the accuracy of the declared documents.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the declared documents, such as the HS code, invoice description of the name, and material match.

At the end of each year or at the beginning of each year, the customs inspection rate increases and inspection time will be stretched from 1 week to 1 month. Please call sellers to remember that prepare all the information in time, and not conceal the information.
