More and more foreign trade people, almost know nothing about foreign trade logistics, and many times the problem of left-right transfer I am confused。When it comes to customs clearance, many foreign trade people think that it is the responsibility of freight forwarders, we should be clear that we are only responsible for transportation, and we will try our best to solve the problems in transportation, but the problem of customs clearance can not be attributed to us。
Express value-added services, leading to the biggest misunderstanding of customs declaration:
The four major express companies (DHL, UPS, FEDEX, TNT) and some special line express industry (such as EMS and Aramex) belong to the traditional express industry, express industry door-to-door service, express companies unified customs clearance of these goods。But in the process，If there are problems such as the goods themselves and sensitive goods and product names unqualified，Then DHL or UPS will prompt the recipient to contact the local DHL or UPS(many foreign trade people see such a prompt on the website)，At this time, DHL or UPS will prompt the recipient to contact the local DHL or UPS(many foreign trade people see the website such a prompt is not appropriate)。
Many foreign trade personnel, especially beginners, perhaps the first single is a small express, go out by DHL, and find that there is nothing, smooth customs clearance to the customer's hands, so they begin to form in their minds that the freight forwarder is the responsibility of the freight forwarder。
There is another kind of foreign trade people, they know that the customer is responsible for the customs clearance of the destination, but when there is a problem, he firmly believes that it is the responsibility of the freight forwarder, because the express is from door to door, what problems should you be responsible for。
In fact, the customs declaration of goods is very simple (for general goods companies), which affects the customs declaration？It varies from country to country, and the most common influencing factors are: value of goods, chargeability of invoices。
The value of goods is the most operated by foreign trade personnel, saving tariffs for customers, low declaration is normal, but normal, but do not write too low。If the goods are seized due to low declaration, have you considered this issue？
At present, the invoice name and product name are not consistent with the actual goods, and there is still no report。
Battery goods, due to this problem every year will be inspected for a few days, or the channel suspended power products。Some people deliberately conceal that there are batteries hidden in the goods, and when no electric products come out, they are found and waiting to be returned。
Sensitive goods，There are too many sensitive goods on the market，Generally for sensitive goods，The forwarder will have the company's sensitive channels to run these goods，It's basically safe，The goods can also reach the customer's hands smoothly，This is the first time I've seen some sensitive Saudi goods，In general, it is for some sensitive goods，And the main reason for these products is to facilitate customer procedures。
Therefore, I hope you foreign trade people remember that the customs clearance process, in addition to the market double clearance channels, any problem is responsible for foreign customers, and has nothing to do with transportation and sellers。Of course, sometimes in order to protect the customer, the shipper and the seller will try to help the customer solve the customs problem, but do not confuse the concept。
