How to avoid customs inspection: declare strictly, check carefully, be legal and compliant, and pay taxes normally.
Why is there customs inspection?
Inspecting goods is a law enforcement act carried out by the customs in accordance with the law to determine whether the contents declared by the consignee and consignor of import and export goods are consistent with the actual situation, as well as the classification, price, origin, etc. of the goods. Inspections focus mainly on preventing tax evasion and evading commodity inspections. When conducting inspections, please do not transfer unnecessary grievances to the customs broker who made no mistakes. It has nothing to do with it.
What does customs inspection mainly check?
1. Check the product name, specifications and models to avoid random writing of the product name, such as mistakenly writing export mobile phone film as export mobile phone, etc.
2. Check the quantity and weight units to ensure they are consistent with the actual situation to avoid delaying customs time and energy.
3. Confirm whether there are any infringement issues, such as misappropriation of other people's LOGOs, patents, etc., to avoid violating relevant laws.
4. Confirm the source of goods, fill in accurate information, and avoid filling in incorrect or deliberately false information.
5. Check the product number to ensure it matches the product name to avoid problems caused by non-compliance with the declaration.
6. Check the old and new conditions to ensure that the old products comply with import and export regulations to avoid problems.
7. Check the unit price, total price and currency system to avoid multiple "0"s to avoid misleading the customs.
8. Sampling and submitting important products for inspection, such as masks, etc., and special attention should be paid during the mask period.
9. Avoid concealment, such as concealment of information, false reporting, etc., to avoid adverse consequences.

The probability of customs inspection
Customs control and inspection of import and export goods can be divided into two categories: computer control and manual control:
1. Computer deployment and control
Computer deployment means that the customs conducts risk analysis based on the import and export goods within a certain period of time, classifies the goods and sets corresponding risk parameters. If it is found that there have been many cases of smuggling violations or declaration errors for a certain product recently, high-risk parameters will be set. The higher the risk parameters of import and export goods, the higher the chance of being controlled by computers. In addition, the customs will also set random inspection rates for goods with lower risk parameters, and set risk parameters based on the company's AEO certification level.
2. Manual deployment and control
Manual control means that customs officers issue control instructions by operating the customs business operating system based on concerns about imported and exported goods in business processes such as document review, tax collection, inspection and release. In addition, when the anti-smuggling department receives intelligence, it can also request manual control at the customs business site.
Manual deployment can be divided into five types of instructions, including manifest deployment, scheduled deployment, early warning deployment, impromptu deployment and random deployment.
- Manifest deployment and control is based on comprehensive risk analysis based on various indicators of electronic manifest data, and deployment and control of high-risk goods;
- Predetermined deployment and control is to extract documents containing risk parameters through computers, automatically lock the target and issue inspection instructions;
- Early warning and control are to alert high-risk goods and enterprises and remind on-site review personnel to focus on review;
- Summary control is when on-site inspection personnel review the import and export cargo documents declared in real time and issue inspection instructions to the documents in question;
- Random control is to set a certain inspection ratio for low-risk import and export goods, and the computer system conducts random inspections.
