It is said that customs declaration is a good job with a lot of gray income. Excuse me, is the so-called gray income earned in the enterprise or in the customs broker?

Hey ~ ~ Dude ~ ~ How can I tell you ~? I got the customs declaration certificate in my freshman year ~ ~ I got the inspection certificate in my sophomore year ~ ~

At that time, my tutor said that there was no need to worry about having these two double certificates ~ ~ Even if I didn't work for a month, my salary would be quite high ~ ~ So I believed it ~ ~ and got these two certificates ~ ~

But then the situation was not very ideal ~ ~

Don't say anything else ~ I have a passage to show you ~ I hope it will play a positive role for you ~ ~ ~

There are good and bad in it ~ ~ ~ You just take the essence and discard the dross ~ ~ ~ It's always good ~! !

The following is a person's personal experience and feelings ~ ~

Let me introduce myself first. I am a male, majoring in international economy and trade. When I was studying, I heard that customs declarers are more popular in society. At that time, considering that it was not easy to find a job after graduation, I was prepared to take a certificate to add some weight to my future employment. In 2002, I passed the customs declaration examination with a score of 138. I didn't expect this certificate to really become the starting point of my career.

My own quality is not low. I passed Band 6 as early as 0 1. In 2004, he passed the inspector's examination with a score of 83.5 (at that time, the total score of Volume A was only 106, and seven multiple-choice questions were missing). In April 2003, just before graduation, I found my first formal job-as a customs broker in a large freight company. At the beginning, I was full of hope for this career. I think freight is a sunrise industry, and I heard that the salary is also very high. My family was happy for me, but it didn't take me long to realize the huge gap between this job and my imagination.

Work is boring, waiting in line all day, looking at numbers, unpacking and inspecting goods. Sometimes dozens of people crowded into a window to put a few tickets, and countless hands holding lists reached out to the customs, crying and crying. Sometimes some officials will throw dozens or hundreds of tickets on the ground outside, and then countless customs declarers will lie on the ground like coyotes on the African grassland to grab tickets. Those customs officers look down on us in their bones, and in their eyes we will never be as good as them. It is often you who ask your grandpa to tell grandma to smile condescendingly and ask them to help get some tickets in question, but they don't even look up. Without even looking at you. I have two very real examples. I checked it once when I first declared the customs. It was Saturday, and the customs officer on duty didn't want to check it for me. I begged for a long time and finally left lazily, but at that time, his release stamp and so on were all in the same room, and the key was not with me, so he asked me to call the doorman to open the door. I was a novice and didn't know anyone. I turned around and found only an armed police. As a result, he saw that the person I called was wrong and pointed at my face and scolded me. . . . . . Another time, I checked that the goods were thermometers or something. After the customs inspection, I didn't see if I could drop it, so I threw the thermometer in front of me. The thermometer broke on the spot, mercury flowed into my hand, and there were pieces of glass (fortunately, my hand was not broken at that time). After reading it, the customs simply said, take a walk and wash yourself. . . . . . There are many such things, so I won't list them one by one. Friends in this business often joke that we are not even as good as the security guard in the customs declaration hall. Indeed, the security guards can boss us around. Sometimes the scanner is broken, the number can't be sent, and the chaotic scene is almost unimaginable. At this time, the security guard will ask us to stand up like a prison guard. Many ugly phenomena are really unwilling to talk about. They will ask you naked for cigarettes. For those who have given them benefits, security guards sometimes help him ask the customs or help him carry the customs declaration basket. . . . . .

I can't bear to look back! ! !

Give some advice to those who want to squeeze into this business later. "

1。 If you don't have a very hard relationship, or a thicker skin than the city wall, or a stronger psychological quality than you think, or a means of communication at the expense of completely giving up your dignity, you'd better not engage in this business easily. Strong-willed, fragile, ignorant and self-respecting compatriots should be careful.

2。 If you are not careful in this line, you'd better not be a first-line on-site customs inspector.

This is absolutely a great destruction of your dignity, patience and personality. The ideal choice is for foreign-funded enterprises to declare their own customs, or to work as importers in foreign-funded enterprises (preferably top 500 or some large foreign-funded processing enterprises), which is much better and beneficial to future development. Of course, you can also choose to do customer service (that is, back office, you don't have to contact those guys who are inferior to pigs and dogs, and it will be easier to find some if you have documents such as customs declaration and inspection)

3。 You have an inner relationship.

For example, a section chief or a clerk is your relative or close friend (in short, if you can contact the commodity inspection and customs, you can do it at least once). Then you can choose to be an on-site customs inspector. This will be of great help to your daily work and future development. Perhaps because of this, the boss thinks you can do it, and you have much more room for improvement than others.

4。 You are a big official in a freight company and have connections (for example, the manager of the customs declaration department of a freight company is your uncle).

In this case, you can also do on-site customs declaration. Usually, I can introduce you to several officials through my uncle and kiss their ass. In the future, the three customs inspectors will take care of you for the sake of the monk. This is very important. Some urgent or difficult orders may be qualitatively different because of this relationship.

5。 You have nothing to do with this. You want to go there.

Don't take this step until the end of your rope, unless you have strong communication skills, you can completely abandon your self-esteem. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get ahead. I've seen too many such examples. I've become a walking corpse and been scolded by the customs. In order to please them, I moved things, cleaned windows and moved boxes for them. . . . . . I thought I knew some officials, but in fact I was nothing to them. Even if you are ok, you can be a small leader and often go out with them, and you can't escape being discriminated against and bossed around. This taste is worse than death.

6。 I'm talking about most people.

I don't rule out people who succeed by their own efforts, and there are many successful people around me. I know a girl who works hard by herself and does private work with a monthly income of 1W+. A friend bought a private car, but this is an individual phenomenon after all. ......

I've seen enough of flattery and servility, and I've seen enough of the teacher's servile face before and after. I finally know what is corruption, what is trading power and money, what is involuntary, too many tears and too much bitterness. Maybe you will feel that this is the helplessness that every line and every industry will have. Maybe you will regard him as a necessary training in life. Maybe this is a test of eating and drinking. Perhaps this is the only way for all successful customs declarers. I only hope that all friends who are about to enter or hope to enter this industry can read this article. Maybe he just recorded a small part of the life of the customs broker. You may think he is not representative, but he is real. It is the heart of many people.

Finally, I wish all customs declarers in the world a bright future! ! !

I hope I can help you ~ ~ I gave up this industry after working for a while ~ ~ It may not be suitable for me ~ ~ but it may be suitable for you ~! !

I hope it helps you ~! !
