How to solve the customs clearance problem frequently sent by international express?
DHL UPS FEDEX TNT (Door to Door Service) is a kind of service that most foreign traders need to contact frequently when sending goods. One of the problems we often meet is customs clearance. In fact, there are only a few things that freight forwarders can do to clear the customs from the destination customs to the recipients. Here is a summary of the main points about customs clearance by Xiaoxun. Type, reported.
1, generally, all courier companies first clear customs on behalf of the consignee.
DHL, UPS, FEDEX, TNT, Aramex and other express companies, because the express delivery service is door-to-door, express companies usually first unified customs declaration of goods (sometimes pre-clearance, that is, goods can be found in the official website immediately after the information on the destination clearance information, in fact, goods have not arrived at the destination, pre-clearance of the customs owner If in order to make the goods arrived after the rapid clearance, customs clearance generated by the express company advance payment, and so on when the delivery of customers to collect;
It is worth mentioning that countries with difficult customs clearance, such as Brazil and Russia, usually choose to take EMS for mailing. The reason behind this is that the country-to-country postal system for customs clearance, which to some extent avoids the problem of possible customs clearance, is the choice of many freight forwarders.
In countries with sound market economic legal systems, such as Europe and the United States, customs clearance goes smoothly and without any problems. Over time, foreign traders will subconsciously think that customs clearance is dealt with by freight forwarders.
2, express company clearance, in case of trouble, find the addressee's assistance.
If you have a problem with a customer, you usually ask the recipient to confirm some information about the goods, such as the value of the goods, the tax number, the authorization documents and the addresses of the recipients are not clear and so on. There will be no problem.
3. The customs clearance agent of the recipient is responsible for customs clearance.
Sometimes you see the message Delivered to broker as requested - the express has been forwarded to the Customs Agent designated by the recipient for clearance and dispatch. This is usually the recipient's agent for clearance on behalf of the customer, at this point you just need to confirm with the recipient whether the goods have been received.
There are usually three points for the consignee to set up an agent to help him clear the customs: difficult to clear the customs in his own country, convenient and convenient for the client to arrange for a large amount of foreign trade import and export, and specially set up to ensure the time limit for clearing the goods (some customers buy the goods and then distribute them or resell them to other customers)
Such countries often occur in Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Turkey and so on.
4, the recipient himself cleared the customs.
A country that is difficult to clear customs. This phenomenon is generally relatively rare, such as in some South American countries, customers designated by the Federation or DHL delivery.
The possible reason is that the relationship between the customer and the local customs is good and the influence is large.
I have also met a client who went to Brazil to appoint DHL. When she learned that the client's wife worked in DHL, she would take care of all customs clearance matters.
Of course, some customers may designate an express delivery company when they deliver the goods because of low local customs clearance costs or good service, door-to-door delivery, non-violent loading and unloading, etc.
5, goods can not be cleared, returned or confiscated.
This usually happens when the Customs considers the goods to be infringed or counterfeited, or when the goods are explicitly prohibited from importing by the local state.
Some forwarders have made it clear before shipment that they will not accept any brand name (authorized), counterfeit, liquid, powder, medicine, precious metals, living plants and other sensitive goods.
But some companies can be arranged, but the price is slightly higher, the specific operation is not detailed, the so-called existence is reasonable, for the most part.
At present, there are not many types of goods that need to be cleared for export, only some pure batteries, and the imitation brand is more stringent. This also helps us to pan for gold overseas. In order to avoid losses, we need to clear up the goods before cooperation.
