In international logistics and transportation, a term that is often faced and mentioned is "customs clearance at the destination port".
Sometimes customs clearance is completed in one or two days, and sometimes it takes ten days or even half a month to complete. Why is this? In order to avoid customs clearance delays, what should we pay attention to?
In order to clarify the customs clearance issue, we must first understand what customs clearance at the destination port is.
Customs clearance, also known as customs clearance, refers to the procedures that must be completed in accordance with legal regulations when import, export or re-export goods enter and exit a country's customs territory. After completing customs declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other procedures, inbound goods must fulfill all entry obligations before the goods can be released, picked up by the logistics company, and finally delivered.
In short, goods from any country entering another country must go through customs clearance procedures in accordance with regulations. Otherwise, goods that violate regulations will be punished by the laws of other countries. For various countries, there are two main purposes of customs clearance: one is to check whether it is legal, and the other is to impose tariffs to maintain the trade balance between the two countries.

If you do not want the goods to be detained by the customs of the destination country, you must declare the items according to its customs policies and requirements, including the name, quantity, weight, declared value of the items, and certification documents corresponding to the special items.

If the goods are detained by the customs of the destination country, you need to understand the reason for the detention to solve the problem. In actual operation, the deduction of orders is caused by incomplete customs declaration forms, few customs declaration forms, irregular customs declaration forms and other reasons.
If the preparation materials are incomplete and there are few customs declaration forms, the materials and taxes will be paid as required.
If it is prohibited items and other goods prohibited from import, the goods can only be abandoned and destroyed.
