The inspection rate of Japanese customs has always been the highest. Many Chinese and Japanese cross-border businesses have reported that customs clearance inspection has a great impact on the timeliness of logistics. It is often that a batch of goods arrive in Japan and are stuck in the process of customs clearance. In order to improve the efficiency of customs clearance, we need to understand the customs clearance process. Here we will introduce the first process of customs clearance of Japanese FBA in detail.
Japan FBA's first customs clearance process
The first journey of Japan's FBA refers to the transportation process of goods from the factory to Japan's Amazon warehouse, and the intermediate process also includes customs clearance, pre payment of duties and other services; The specific process is as follows:
In China:
1. First, we need to confirm the shipping date with the cooperative logistics supplier, and ask the supplier whether the goods can be shipped to avoid the goods being seized by the customs;
2. Book the cabin and issue the order to the shipping company;
3. Prepare customs declaration information and provide detailed information;
4. For warehousing and packaging, the packaging cabinet shall be packaged in advance, and the quantity, weight, square and plate number of the cargo shall be determined before packaging;
5. Customs declaration includes tax refund declaration and bill declaration. Enterprises with import and export operation rights and companies signing paperless declaration forms at electronic ports can apply for tax refund declaration. Generally, materials must be prepared as: foreign trade contract, invoice, packing list, letter of authorization for customs declaration, customs declaration, special documents. Complete declaration materials shall be provided to ensure the normal customs clearance of goods.
To Japan:
1. After the ship leaves for Japan and arrives at the airport or port of Japan, it shall submit the application form to the Japanese customs. The customs will inspect, check and verify the goods after receiving the application form;
2. Submit the customs clearance materials to the Japanese customs, including the certificate of origin, declaration of goods and other special goods certification documents;
If the product involves food inspection, pharmacy law, custom law, weapons and knives control law, etc., it is necessary to distinguish the following situations:
Food inspection: most of the products that directly contact with mouth and food and drink, such as dishes, cups, spoons, food storage boxes, lunch boxes, refrigerators, kitchen faucets, etc., need food inspection, and send food inspection samples to Japan for inspection;
Pharmaceutical law: products such as cosmetics, shower gel, shampoo, massage to dredge blood circulation and lose weight, correction/treatment of diseases, etc. The description in the manual shall not include words and purposes related to medical treatment; Medical related products can only be operated with the business scope qualification of the importer and the selling license of medical machines;
Custom law: usually products such as adult products;
Weapons and knives control law: generally refers to martial arts appliances and knives. Weapons judged by the customs to be capable of hurting people cannot be imported. The general knives with blades more than 5cm are involved in the knife control law;
In the above cases, special attention should be paid when providing customs clearance materials to the Japanese customs.
To be examined and verified by the customs; If there are problems in the inspection, for example, the declared value is inconsistent, the product is prohibited, and there is no corresponding certification document for the product, the goods will be detained by the Japanese customs; If there is no problem after inspection, customs can be cleared by paying customs duties;
3. Pay customs duties according to the tax rate corresponding to the articles;
4. Obtain the import license, and with this certificate, you can clear the customs for terminal delivery.
Japanese customs inspection is strict. In order not to delay the time limit, cross-border sellers can improve the efficiency of customs clearance and ensure smooth customs clearance only if they fully understand the customs clearance process, provide true and accurate declaration materials, and avoid goods being seized by Japanese customs.
