Common mistakes in customs inspection

Inspection is an important means of customs supervision, and customs declaration is only a procedure. According to its own experience and policies at that time, the customs will conduct spot checks on some sensitive commodity names, sometimes for no reason. When checking, it will open the box to see if it is consistent with the customs declaration information, such as name, quantity, declared value, etc. , whether there is tax fraud, evasion of commodity inspection, and incorrect classification of HS codes. So what are the common mistakes in customs inspection?

I. Inspection method

China Customs has fully implemented it? Double random? Mechanism (random selection control, random inspection), goods that need to be unpacked for inspection, and customs officers responsible for inspection (i.e.? Check who? And then what? Who checked? ) are randomly selected by the computer, and the customs clearance process is completely open and transparent.

Second, the inspection fee

Customs inspection will generate some extra fees, but these fees are not charged by the customs, but the fees charged by the dock for hanging and disassembling cabinets. Because this fee is only available for customs inspection, terminals generally refer to these fees as customs inspection fees, and terminals will issue formal invoices.

Three, the common problems of inspection error

A. Check the product name

What is easy to make mistakes here is that the scientific name and common name of the product are easy to make mistakes, and then the Chinese product name translated from multiple meanings of English words sometimes does not match the actual product name.

B. Check the specifications

Error-prone is that some factory customers make carton packaging specifications, and there are many specifications that need the largest and smallest, respectively, and then there are two specifications with irregular product lengths, one on the length and the other on the length.

C. Number of inspections

It is the total amount, which is easy to make mistakes, especially the tax refund. The reason why mistakes are often made here is because the customs declaration materials are prepared in advance, and the data changed when loading the container and forgot to update it.

D. check the weight-there are two things wrong with the weight.

Firstly, the gross weight and net weight of bulk goods are 3%-5% higher than the actual weight.

Secondly, the products priced by weight only know the gross weight but calculate the net weight, and the actual weight does not match the shipping mark on the outer box.

E. Number of inspection pieces

It is easy to make mistakes. Tailcases, samples and gifts are not included. On one occasion, a customer presented a cabinet of products produced by himself, and when loading the cabinet, 4 or 5 boxes of products from other factories bought by foreign customers in China were loaded at the door of the cabinet. The total number of pieces did not add up.

F. Check the shipping marks

Some products have shipping marks, some don't, and some shipping marks will reflect some products and logo information, if any, they must be reflected in the customs declaration form.

G. Check whether there is any infringement

Everyone knows this. Pay attention to distinguish famous brand, imitation brand, factory brand, tag, R Logo and LOGO.

H. Check the country of origin

It's a place of supply. Some factories will reveal the source information or advertising information of some products on the packaging, especially in the case of trilateral trade, which is prone to false origin information or destination information, especially in the case of trilateral trade with Russia. Singaporean companies buy goods from China and then sell them to Russian buyers whose suppliers are unknown. Don't make any mistakes in the origin information, otherwise it can't be cleared.

First, check the classification

It is easy to make mistakes when checking whether the customs code is accurate. Multifunctional products should be classified accurately. For example, a tablet computer with call function should be classified as a mobile phone, not a tablet computer.

J. check the old and the new

Many old things can't be exported. It is easy to make mistakes when the machines of flat cabinets and open cabinets get wet in the open air, which makes people misjudge that they are old, and many things in moving immigration cabinets are old.

K. restrain prices

In the customs system, there is a price range of codes corresponding to each goods imported and exported by the customs. Generally, there are two price ranges, one is the price range of local export ports, and the other is the nationwide price limit range. Especially when importing, the price review is particularly strict, and when exporting, it is relatively better. People who need this price range can ask me for it. I have an electronic document at hand.

Length inspection sampling

This kind of products are relatively rare, and they are generally chemicals and other products that need to be tested without the naked eye.

Meter (short for meter) to check the body.

Check container trucks that check containers during transportation between China and Hongkong.

Check this box.

Check the container, basically did not check carefully, and found no problems. Generally, you should check carefully when using the special cabinet.

O. whether it is hidden or not

That is, whether there is anything that the factory does not produce or omit. I've seen a lot of this, such as bacon sausages, brand-name TVs, books and electric bicycles.

After the customs inspection, the inspection officials put forward their own suggestions on the inspection results. The inspector only has the right to make suggestions, and the undecided signature is left to the section chief for decision. Finally, it is examined and signed by the inspection section chief, who has the power of examination and approval. However, the official's suggestion will generally directly affect the decision of the section chief. After the section chief decides, he will make the results and publish them, or transfer them to the classified section, or to the second section, or go to the anti-smuggling section to write down the handling opinions.

Four. Inspection and handling

The normal procedure is to assume that the problem is found, and the customs will ask the shipper to write a statement of the situation. If the HS code is wrong, why is it wrong? Are you deliberately evading taxes? Why don't you do commodity inspection? This is a bit of a test of literary talent, beautiful and true. Sometimes it may just need to be reclassified or supplemented by commodity inspection. If it doesn't make sense, it will be troublesome to enter the anti-smuggling department, and it will not be possible for a while.

Actually, it's not terrible to check the cupboard. In the process of import and export, the last thing I want to meet is to go to the anti-smuggling department! For the customs broker, depending on its relationship with the customs and the severity of the problem, the customs broker will be severely punished by the customs, and the customs broker will be deducted. If the problem is serious, it will be blacklisted by the customs and will definitely be rejected in the customs declaration process in the future. Be more careful? Therefore, the customs broker is afraid to enter the anti-smuggling department.
