Inspection is an important means of customs supervision. Customs declaration is just a procedure. The customs will conduct random inspections and inspections on some sensitive product names based on its own experience and policies at that time. . During the inspection, the box will be opened to check whether it is consistent with the customs declaration information, such as product name, quantity, weight, declared value, etc., to confirm whether there is tax fraud, evasion of commodity inspection, or incorrect HS code classification.

There is a big misunderstanding here. The customs inspection fee refers to the fee incurred by the customs inspection, not the inspection fee charged by the customs. During the customs inspection, the customs will not charge a penny, but the owner and the agent must move the goods to the inspection site designated by the customs, and unpack the goods according to the customs requirements. To be borne by the guests themselves. There are many charging departments for these expenses incurred due to inspection, and the settlement methods of freight forwarders or customs brokers are different from those of these charging departments. Some pay cash on the spot, and the charging department will issue a note indicating the cost of the goods. It is a monthly statement and there is no separate invoice. Therefore, the freight forwarder or the customs broker cannot show the customer the invoice for the inspection fee issued by the specific charging department, and can only list the list of various fees. If the customer does not believe the fees stated by the forwarder or the customs broker, he can follow the relevant specific charges. Department to verify rates.

LCL inspection may be a headache for consignors, especially if the value of goods is relatively small. Some consignors do not understand. My goods are only worth a few hundred dollars and less than 1 cubic meter. Why do I charge such an expensive inspection fee? . The inspection does not look at the value of the goods. Sometimes the LCL is combined with a large container and sometimes a small container. The specific cost is based on the FCL, so sometimes the LCL is only a few cubic meters, but the inspection fee is more expensive than the FCL.

5. How does the customs carry out the inspection of the box

Usually, the customs unpacking personnel will start to unpack the container from the far left or the last side of the container, half of which is half, and the bottom is full; according to the products declared in the customs declaration, check one by one; a single product name is easier to check; if there are many product names The goods are very miscellaneous, and the customs cannot find the name of the product. The consignor needs to provide the packing location and box mark information of the product or ask the consignor to provide a detailed packing list. If the above information cannot be provided, the entire cabinet needs to be emptied and inspected, which is very expensive.

Inspection cannot be said to avoid inspection, but it is best to ensure that the documents are clear, the declaration elements must be detailed and clear, and the product name and HS code of the customs declaration materials are unified. If there is an adjustment to the tax rebate of a certain product at a specific time, or a targeted spot check on a certain product name, the inspection rate for this product name may increase during this period; the sanctioned countries (Iran, Iraq and other countries) are basically every Tickets must be checked. In addition, during the holidays, the general inspection rate will increase.

Once the inspection notice is issued, the freight forwarder should notify the owner immediately. If the declaration is truthful, the inspection will be arranged normally. The normal process is like this. The freight forwarder will be notified by the customs broker. The goods need to be inspected, but not immediately. With the help of the scheduling time, it is necessary to clarify what is wrong with the goods at this time and whether other channels are needed to avoid deduction. goods. Most customs brokers can solve the problem if the problem is not serious. As for the cost, it is impossible to say, the cost is definitely different in different situations. This fee is different from the inspection fee, because there is no invoice, no receipt, whether it is willing to pay or not depends on the intention of the shipper, if not, just follow the normal procedure, which requires the trust of the owner and the forwarder. The normal procedure is to assume that the problem is found, and the customs will ask the owner to write a description of the situation, such as the wrong HS code, why it is wrong, whether it is deliberately defrauding tax, why there is no commodity inspection, etc. It is enough to classify or supplement the commodity inspection; if the customs does not accept the explanation, it will make the corresponding circulation according to the customs process.
