How long is the customs declaration time?
The time limit for customs declaration refers to the time limit stipulated by law for the consignee or his agent to declare to the customs after the goods arrive at the port.
According to the provisions of Article 60 of the Customs Law, the time limit for customs declaration of imported goods is 14 days from the date when the means of transport declare entry, and the consignee or his agent declares to the customs; In addition to reporting to the customs at the place of entry within 14 days, the imported goods must also be reported to the customs at the destination within 14 days from the date when the means of transport carrying the imported goods arrive at the destination; If the time limit is exceeded, the customs will levy a late fee.
Export goods should be declared to the customs 24 hours before the goods are loaded on the means of transport. In other words, customs declaration should be made before loading. The goods can only be loaded on the means of transport after 24 hours of customs declaration.
The purpose of stipulating the time limit for customs declaration of imported goods and collecting late fees is to urge the consignee of imported goods or their agents to declare customs in time by administrative and economic means, speed up the port transportation and make imported goods put into production and use as soon as possible.
The time limit for declaration of export goods is to ensure the inspection and supervision of export goods by the customs and ensure the timely transportation and export of goods.
