6Procedure
- Registration and pre-clearance stepsComplete customs registration as consignee, check the regulatory conditions attached to the commodity code, and obtain in advance any import licence, quarantine permit, CCC certificate and overseas manufacturer registration number.
- Manifest and arrivalThe carrier transmits the manifest and, after berthing, the goods are discharged into a customs supervision area.
- DeclarationThe import goods declaration is filed through the Single Window, by the consignee or an entrusted broker, within 14 days from the day the conveyance declares entry. A late-declaration fee applies after that.
- Examination and inspectionCustoms reviews the documents and may examine the goods; goods within the inspection and quarantine scope may also be sampled and laboratory-tested.
- PaymentPay duty, import VAT and consumption tax, normally by electronic payment. Qualifying enterprises can use facilitation measures such as consolidated tax payment.
- Release and post-clearanceThe goods are released and collected. Customs operates post-clearance audit and voluntary disclosure, so declaration errors can be corrected under the rules.
- Registration and pre-clearance stepsAs for ocean cargo: complete customs registration and obtain the required licences, certificates and registrations.
- Manifest and arrivalThe airline transmits the manifest and the goods enter a customs supervision area.
- DeclarationThe declaration is filed through the Single Window, with the same 14-day deadline.
- Examination and paymentComply with examination and inspection, then pay duty, VAT and consumption tax.
- ReleaseCollect the goods from the supervision area after release.
- Identify the channelDistinguish cross-border e-commerce retail import (supervision codes such as 9610 and 1210) from ordinary express consignments and personal postal articles; the tax treatment and documents differ.
- Three-document matchingFor cross-border e-commerce retail imports the platform, the payment company and the logistics company each transmit the order, payment record and waybill to customs, which releases the goods once the three match.
- Limits and taxWithin RMB 5,000 per transaction and RMB 26,000 per year the tariff is 0% and VAT and consumption tax are levied at 70%. Above the single-transaction limit, ordinary goods rates apply in full. Personal postal articles are taxed under the postal article tax.
- Positive list and accessCross-border e-commerce retail import goods must be on the published list of eligible goods, and food and cosmetics remain subject to registration, filing and labelling requirements.
- Release and deliveryAfter the tax position is settled the goods are released and delivered by the logistics company; returns follow their own management rules.
- Declaration on arrivalTravellers carrying goods above the allowance or on the declarable list must declare truthfully and use the declaration channel.
- AllowancePersonal articles for a resident traveller's own use acquired abroad are exempt up to a total of RMB 5,000, subject to a list of goods that never qualify.
- Above the allowancePersonal articles above the allowance are taxed under the postal article tax; a single indivisible article is taxed on its full value.
- Commercial goodsGoods carried for sale follow the ordinary goods import procedure even when hand-carried, and must satisfy licensing, certification and quarantine requirements.
Show United States export-side steps

- Book and documentBook with the carrier or forwarder, and prepare the commercial invoice, packing list and Shipper's Letter of Instruction. Obtain any export licence that applies.
- File EEIFile the EEI in AESDirect at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel, and record the ITN returned by the system.
- Deliver and ladeDeliver the cargo to the terminal. The carrier cites the ITN on its outbound manifest; without it the goods should not be laded.
- Departure and documentsAfter sailing, collect the bill of lading and send the shipping documents and the origin certification to the buyer for its import clearance.
