# What Core Compliance Nodes Need to Be Focused on and Controlled Throughout the Entire Import Customs Declaration Process to Mitigate Risks?

## Question

 I am the head of operations for a cross-border e-commerce company based in Shanghai that mainly deals in Japanese and Korean beauty products. Last month, a batch of air cushion BB creams imported from Incheon Port was detained due to incorrect commodity classification labels and inconsistent marks on the certificate of origin. We spent over 20,000 yuan just on port detention fees and amendment fees, and it also delayed the restocking schedule for the 618 shopping festival. Now we have another batch of essence containing active peptide ingredients going through BC direct mail customs clearance, and three containers of regular beauty products going through general trade customs clearance. I am really worried and want to know how to handle import customs declaration well from three dimensions: process compliance, risk avoidance and cost optimization, so as to avoid customs detention, port detention or extra cost overruns again? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，you need to complete **pre-document pre-audit**: For general trade beauty products，check in advance the consistency of the country of origin marked on the certificate of origin and the marks with the customs declaration. For the active peptide essence shipped via BC direct mail，complete the commodity classification pre-audit in advance，confirm the supervision conditions corresponding to the customs code (such as whether entry inspection and quarantine certificates are required)，and simultaneously verify the logical consistency of the commodity name，specification and unit price on the customs declaration with the manifest and invoice，so as to avoid triggering valuation disputes or customs detention due to inconsistent documents.

Seamless connection of core nodes: Submit the pre-entry customs declaration form 3 days before the goods arrive at the port，and simultaneously submit the application for advanced commodity classification ruling to the customs (for products prone to classification errors such as active peptides). For general trade goods，complete the inspection in advance to ensure that the customs clearance form and customs declaration form are submitted simultaneously. For BC direct mail goods，connect to the single window of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone in advance and complete the three-way matching of order，payment and waybill.

Contingency plans need to be implemented in advance: If a valuation dispute is triggered，submit supporting materials such as purchase contracts，foreign exchange payment vouchers and brand authorization letters within 24 hours，and it is prohibited to adjust the declared price blindly. If customs detention occurs，immediately connect with the on-site customs inspection department，supplement documents or apply for reclassification，and simultaneously apply to the shipping company for an extension of the free storage period in advance to avoid continuous port detention fees.

Final compliance implementation: After completing the customs declaration，retain all documents (including customs declarations，certificates of origin，inspection and quarantine certificates) for at least 5 years to ensure that they can be retrieved at any time during subsequent customs audits. At the same time，apply for VAT deferral for general trade goods to delay the payment of value-added tax and optimize capital turnover rate.

### Answer 2

For valuation disputes during import customs declaration, sort out the entire procurement chain documents in advance, including official quotation sheets issued by the brand, real foreign exchange payment vouchers, and past customs declaration records of products of the same brand and specification, so as to avoid triggering valuation disputes due to the declared price being lower than the customs reference price. If a dispute has been triggered, submit supporting materials within 3 working days after the customs issues the valuation notice, and it is prohibited to blindly raise or lower the declared price to avoid triggering subsequent customs audits.

At the same time, you can apply for an advanced customs ruling in advance to lock the duty-paid price range of the goods and avoid subsequent valuation risks. For cross-border e-commerce BC direct mail goods, ensure that the price logic of the three documents is consistent, so as to avoid triggering valuation disputes and customs detention due to the inconsistency between the order price and the customs declaration price.

### Answer 3

Prior to import customs declaration, confirm the connection of the logistics route. If general trade goods are shipped directly from Incheon Port to Shanghai Port, confirm with the shipping company 72 hours in advance whether the manifest information has been synchronized to the customs single window to avoid being unable to declare due to delayed manifest. If a container shortage occurs, immediately request the shipping company to issue a container shortage certificate, simultaneously apply to the customs for an extension of the customs declaration form, and apply for an extension of the free storage period and free container period to reduce the costs of port detention fees and container detention fees.

For BC direct mail goods, select a logistics service provider that has connected to the single window of the comprehensive pilot zone to ensure real-time synchronization of the three document information, so as to avoid customs detention due to delayed waybill information. At the same time, confirm the container pickup point of the goods in advance to avoid port detention due to delayed container pickup.

### Answer 4

When importing customs declaration, you can use the VAT deferral policy to reduce capital costs. For beauty products imported through general trade, eligible enterprises can apply for VAT deferral when declaring customs, without paying import value-added tax at the time of customs clearance, but declaring and paying it uniformly during the VAT declaration period, thereby extending the capital occupation cycle.

It should be noted that applying for VAT deferral requires the enterprise to have completed the customs advanced certification, have no tax arrears records, and have accurate customs declaration form information, etc. At the same time, retain all procurement documents, customs declarations and VAT declaration forms for at least 10 years for tax audit purposes. For cross-border e-commerce BC direct mail goods, confirm whether they are within the scope of the cross-border e-commerce retail import list. If eligible, you can enjoy zero tariff or VAT reduction policies to reduce comprehensive costs.

### Answer 5

After completing the import customs declaration, complete the compliance operation of foreign exchange receipt and payment synchronously. For general trade goods, complete the foreign exchange payment within 90 days after the customs declaration form is issued, and the payment amount must be consistent with the duty-paid price on the customs declaration form, so as to avoid triggering audits by the foreign exchange administration department due to the inconsistency between the payment amount and the declared amount.

For cross-border e-commerce BC direct mail goods, complete the foreign exchange payment through the payment institution of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone to ensure that the payment document is consistent with the order and waybill, so as to avoid triggering foreign exchange control due to non-compliant payment. At the same time, confirm the trend of foreign exchange exchange rates in advance, choose the appropriate timing for payment, and reduce exchange difference costs. If there is a delay in payment, apply to the foreign exchange administration department for deferred payment filing in advance to avoid generating violation records.

### Answer 6

Prior to import customs declaration, confirm the intellectual property compliance of the products. For beauty products, verify in advance whether the brand's authorization letter is authentic and valid, and whether the authorization scope includes import and sales in China, so as to avoid customs detention due to intellectual property infringement.

If it involves patented products, prepare supporting materials such as patent certificates and authorization letters in advance, and simultaneously apply to the customs for intellectual property recordation to ensure quick verification when the goods pass customs. At the same time, clarify the responsibility division for intellectual property infringement in the purchase contract. If customs detention is caused by infringement of products provided by the supplier, the supplier shall bear all costs such as port detention fees and detention losses, so as to avoid damage to your own interests.

### Answer 7

If on-site customs inspection is triggered during import customs declaration, prepare supporting materials such as goods samples, brand authorization letters and component test reports in advance to cooperate with customs inspectors to complete the goods check. For beauty products, ensure that the marks, specifications and quantities of the goods are consistent with the customs declaration form, so as to avoid customs detention due to inconsistent marks.

If the customs requires sampling and testing, cooperate with the sampling and testing process immediately, and apply for an extension of the free storage period to avoid port detention fees due to too long testing time. For products with special ingredients such as active peptides, prepare component test reports in advance to ensure that the test results are consistent with the component labels on the customs declaration form, so as to avoid customs inspection and detention due to inconsistent components.

### Answer 8

The packaging of imported beauty products must meet the requirements of customs and inspection and quarantine. For essence containing active peptide ingredients, use sealed, moisture-proof food-grade packaging to avoid component deterioration due to packaging damage. At the same time, clearly mark the components, specifications, country of origin and other information on the packaging, which must be consistent with the labels on the customs declaration form.

For full-container general trade goods, use internationally standard container packaging to ensure that the container seals are intact, so as to avoid customs inspection due to damaged seals. At the same time, prepare the environmental protection test report of the packaging materials in advance to ensure that the packaging materials meet China's environmental protection standards, so as to avoid customs detention due to non-compliant packaging. If it involves fragile goods, use cushioning foam packaging materials to avoid damage to the goods during transportation.

### Answer 9

After completing the import customs declaration, do a good job in the compliance filing of documents. For beauty products imported through general trade, retain documents such as customs declarations, certificates of origin, purchase contracts, foreign exchange payment vouchers and inspection and quarantine certificates for at least 5 years to ensure that they can be retrieved at any time during subsequent customs or tax audits. Document filing shall be arranged in chronological order to ensure the logical consistency between documents and avoid audits due to missing documents or inconsistent logic.

For cross-border e-commerce BC direct mail goods, retain documents such as orders, payment documents, waybills and customs declarations for at least 3 years, and ensure the consistency of the three document information to avoid penalties from the e-commerce platform due to inconsistent documents. If documents are lost, immediately apply to the customs or logistics service provider for reissuance to avoid compliance risks.

### Answer 10

Import customs declaration needs to be linked with supply chain planning. According to the peak and off-season demand of beauty products, plan the import batches and declaration time in advance to avoid port detention due to declaration during the peak customs clearance period. At the same time, you can adopt a declaration mode combining general trade and BC direct mail: use BC direct mail for fast clearance of hot-selling products, and use general trade to reduce costs for products with large batches.

It is necessary to sort out all nodes of the supply chain in advance to ensure seamless connection of logistics, customs declaration and warehousing, so as to avoid interruption of the entire supply chain due to delay of a certain node. At the same time, establish a supply chain risk early warning mechanism, make advance plans for customs policy adjustments, logistics price fluctuations and other situations, and ensure the stable operation of import business.

At the same time, you can adopt a declaration mode combining general trade and BC direct mail: use BC direct mail for fast clearance of hot-selling products, and use general trade to reduce costs for products with large batches. It is necessary to sort out all nodes of the supply chain in advance to ensure seamless connection of logistics, customs declaration and warehousing, so as to avoid interruption of the entire supply chain due to delay of a certain node. At the same time, establish a supply chain risk early warning mechanism, make advance plans for customs policy adjustments, logistics price fluctuations and other situations, and ensure the stable operation of import business.",
