Warning for the “red light period” of dialogue clearance!
I have exported to foreign trade friends abroad or have little understanding of it. There is a local word that makes foreign trade people angry when they hear it. It is called"Red light period for customs clearance".
The interface customs is divided into red light customs and green light customs. The red light is a protection policy of the interface for local enterprises. If certain export goods are red light at the interface,In order to protect local companies producing similar goods, strict inspections can be carried out on the goods of exporting companies. It is common for customs to have goods stay at the customs office for several months..
The red light period is generally from December at the end of the year to March of the following year., Manhattan Customs will cooperate with other law enforcement agencies to strictly investigate and deal with import customs clearance. Customs clearance procedures require more procedures and take longer than before. If the operation is improper, more fees will be incurred accordingly. For some red license plates, It will be 100% checked.
This year the situation will be more severe.
This year,The two parties have negotiated on many occasions to import goods, including clothing, textiles, electronic products, ceramics, etc.The specific reason is that, according to diplomatic disclosures, the BPS data of textiles and textile products, clothing and clothing accessories, ceramics, electronic products, cosmetics, footwear and other finished textile products imported by diplomacy are very different from the data of the country of origin.The country of origin recorded a value of 0 million, but the dialogue side only recorded 6 million.
June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade announced that it willTariffs of 100% to 200% on imported products ranging from footwear to ceramics, restarting plans to protect domestic industries.
July, formally established a special working group to rectify illegal imports,Regulated goods types include textiles and textile products (TPT), other textiles, electronics, footwear, clothing, ceramics, and beauty products or cosmetics.According to diplomatic officials, their proliferation in diplomacy has led to a huge trade balance, especially the gray or illegal imports that the working group has focused on combating.
October, talks with the Ministry of Industry announcedImplement national interface standards (SNI) for 16 industrial products, to ensure the safety, health and environmental compliance of products, including prestressed steel wires, valves, ceramic tiles, safety shoes, etc.
According to relevant industry players,At present, all ports have entered a "red light" status, and various terminals and warehouse shelves have received unprecedentedly rigorous inspections.
However, as the country with the largest economy and population in Southeast Asia, the market potential of Interlocutor cannot be underestimated.
What we need to pay attention to when exporting interfaces, in addition to collecting the balance before payment, are the following:
For different goods categories and quantities, it is necessary to clarify the goods information before shipment. Be sure to communicate with local merchants to understand the latest local customs policies and whether such products will encounter customs clearance interceptions. If necessary, it is necessary to cooperate with a powerful destination port agent.
If an Indonesian merchant does not have the corresponding import rights, or has import rights but has shallow qualifications, it is generally easier to be inspected (obtaining a license to import API, or even applying for a master list, does not mean that customs clearance cannot be completed). Therefore, DDP operation can be adopted, that is, some imported timber agents with better qualifications can be used to complete customs clearance.
Whether it is a DDP or DDU operation, it is recommended to apply for a 14-day container-free period (14-day container-free period) from the shipping company when booking space. This way, even if customs clearance takes longer than usual, container rent will not be incurred or reduced.
*Goods arriving in Indonesia must be taxed at USD 30. At the Port of Jakarta, after the goods exceed the deadline, they will be placed in a simple warehouse of the relevant supervision agency, which is affiliated with the National Port Company. The goods can be stored there for 1 to 3 months. If the goods are overdue, they will be auctioned in the port authority's warehouse, and the proceeds from the auction will be used to pay storage fees. The balance after the hometown auction fee is retained for 3 years. If it is still unclaimed after 3 years, it will be turned over to the Indonesian treasury, and the goods are not allowed to be withdrawn before tariffs are levied.
Dialogue has been quite strict for many products since January 2016. For example, LED lights, machinery (old), machinery (old), textiles, etc. need to undergo SGS pre-loading inspection. You only need to apply for overseas. SGS NO. is shipped by the carrier. If you make an appointment with Radar to conduct pre-loading inspection, then there will be almost zero parts stuck during customs clearance at the destination port.
Confirm the corresponding import authority and qualifications with the buyer domestically, and then clarify the loading requirements and do the best work before shipment, so that the import and export related work can be completed to the maximum extent.
The exported goods must be consistent with the actual packing list. If the goods are found to be inconsistent with the actual packing list, invoice, and COPY at the port of destination, the fines incurred will be quite expensive. Some customers like to use abbreviations, or do not list details. It does not matter if they are exported to other countries, but for diplomatic products, it is necessary to be as detailed as possible.
Before shipping, you must go through a professional export agency to review customs clearance documents and do operational inspections on the shipping date. Try to be as detailed as possible before shipment. The quantity of goods needs to be clearly counted and possible loopholes must be addressed as soon as possible. After strict review before shipment, shipment will be arranged to avoid trouble at the destination port to the greatest extent.
There is also a very important point: the verification risk of dialogue with FORM E.
If there are foreign traders involved in foreign trade, please pay attention!
