Step 1: Customs declaration
After collecting all import and export documents such as contracts, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, arrival notices and HS codes for walkers, you can enter information into the customs declaration system via software.
E-customs declaration requires importers to be knowledgeable about how to enter data into the software. It is not recommended to self-declare customs if you are unclear about this process, as mistakes that cannot be corrected later can cause costs and take a lot of time to correct.
The customs declarant needs to complete the declaration within 30 days from the arrival of the goods at the port. If this time limit is exceeded, the importer will be subject to a fine prescribed by customs.
Step 2: Open a customs declaration
After completing the customs declaration, the system will channel the declaration and provide the results. If the declaration is channeled, you need to print it out and bring the same set of import documents to the customs sub-department to carry out the procedures for opening the declaration. The next steps will depend on whether the declaration is classified into the green, yellow or red channel.
The opening of the declaration should be done immediately, and no later than 15 days from the date of declaration. The declarant needs to bring the dossier to the Sub-Department of Customs to open the declaration. If the 15-day deadline is exceeded, the declaration will be cancelled and you will be subject to the penalty set by customs.
Step 3. Customs clearance of customs declarations
After checking the dossier and there are no problems, the customs officer will approve the customs clearance of the declaration. At this time, you can pay import taxes on your declaration and receive the goods to storage.
Sometimes, the declaration form can be released in advance to transfer the goods to the warehouse. The completed dossier will then be submitted and customs will proceed with customs clearance. If the declaration has not been cleared, the procedures need to be completed for customs clearance. If you are late, you may incur a penalty fee and additional time.
Step 4. Bring goods to the warehouse for storage and use
After completing the customs clearance declaration, you will carry out the liquidation of the declaration and carry out the necessary procedures to transfer the goods to the warehouse. When the quality inspection results are available, you need to supplement this dossier with customs to complete the customs clearance of goods.
