Product export procedures are extremely cumbersome and important. If customs cannot be cleared smoothly, the transaction cannot be completed.

(1) Acceptance of inspection application: Inspection application means that foreign trade relations parties apply for inspection to the commodity inspection agency .

(2) Sampling: After accepting the inspection application, the commodity inspection agency will promptly send personnel to the cargo storage location to conduct on-site inspection and identification.

(3) Inspection: After accepting the application for inspection, the commodity inspection agency will carefully study the declared inspection items and determine the inspection content. And carefully review the quality, specifications, and packaging provisions of the contract (letter of credit), clarify the basis for inspection, and determine the inspection standards and methods. (Inspection methods include sampling inspection, instrumental analysis inspection; physical inspection; sensory inspection; microbial inspection, etc.)

(4) Issuance of certificates: In terms of export, all export commodities listed in the "Type List" shall After passing the inspection by the commodity inspection agency, a release order will be issued (or a release stamp will be stamped on the "Export Goods Declaration Form" in place of the release order).

2. Professional personnel holding customs declaration certificates must go to the customs to handle customs clearance procedures with packing lists, invoices, customs declaration letters of attorney, export settlement verification forms, copies of export goods contracts, export commodity inspection certificates and other documents. .

Extended information:

The bill of lading is a document signed by the foreign shipping company for the importer to pick up the goods and settle foreign exchange after the exporter has completed the export customs clearance procedures and the customs has released it.

The signed bill of lading is issued according to the number of copies required in the letter of credit, usually three. The exporter keeps two copies to handle tax refund and other services, and one copy is sent to the importer for handling procedures such as picking up the goods.

When shipping goods by sea, the importer must present the original bill of lading, packing list, and invoice to pick up the goods. Or the original bill of lading is delivered to the shipping company for telex release. It is not necessary to pick up the goods with the original copy. After receiving the bill of lading, the importer can save time for customs clearance. (The exporter must send the original bill of lading, packing list, and invoice to the importer.)

If the goods are shipped by air, you can directly use the fax of the bill of lading, packing list, and invoice to pick up the goods.

The original meaning of port is a coastal port designated by the country for foreign trade. But in today's society, ports are no longer just commercial ports for economic and trade exchanges (i.e. commerce), but also include ports for exchanges in politics, diplomacy, science and technology, culture, tourism and immigration; ports no longer only refer to ports located along the coast. With the development of land and air transportation, foreign trade goods, inbound and outbound personnel and their luggage, mail packages, etc., can reach the hinterland of a country directly through railways and air. Therefore, the country has also set up ports to carry out international transport, international air parcel and mail exchange business, and other places where there is foreign trade and border trade. Simply put, a port is a gateway designated by the country for foreign exchanges and a hub for international cargo transportation. To some extent, it is a special international logistics node.

Letter of credit is divided into two categories: smooth letter of credit and documentary letter of credit. A documentary letter of credit refers to a letter of credit with specified documents attached, and a letter of credit without any documents is called a clean letter of credit. Simply put, a letter of credit is a guarantee document that guarantees the exporter to recover the payment. Please note that the shipment period of export goods should be within the validity period of the L/C, and the L/C presentation period must be submitted no later than the validity date of the L/C.

Letter of credit is the most common method of payment in international trade. The issuance date of the letter of credit should be clear, clear and complete. Several state-owned commercial banks in China, such as Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, etc., are all able to issue letters of credit (the issuance fees of these major banks are 1.5% of the issuance amount) ‰).
