Management of the Enterprises Granted for Convenient and Quick Customs
Clearance
Ⅰ. What is the enterprise granted for convenient and quick customs
clearance?
Customs General Administration and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Economic Cooperation jointly issued policy measures to facilitate customs
clearance in 2001 to further support the development of high-tech industries.
The enterprise who meets the requirements, after application and approval,
can apply to one or more facilitative procedures for customs clearance.
Ⅱ. What facilitative measures can the enterprises granted for convenient and
quick customs clearance enjoy?
Customs clearance measures mainly include customs declarations in
advance, networking declaration, rapid transit, door-to-door inspection and
release, urgent customs clearance and release with customs security.
To shorten the operating hours of customs clearance, these enterprises can,
in the case that the description, the specifications and the quantity of the
import and export goods are determinate, declare to the customs in advance
and submit related documents after import goods shipped and before arriving
or within 3 days before export goods carried to the customs surveillance zone.
Customs shall directly examine and release the goods after arrival of the
goods.
ⅱ. Networking declaration
In their offices, the enterprises shall apply China E-Port platform and directly
declare to the customs at the place where the goods enter the territory or the
competent customs. The enterprises shall input all customs data once only.
Therefore, the data shall transmit through network among import and export
management departments. Customs examines the declaration electronic data
and send electronic return receipt by which document audit and cargo
clearance procedures may be made by the enterprises themselves or their
entrusted agents in the customs clearance spot. Some customs in good
condition shall collect duties by nominated bank online. Customs issues
electronic payment notice to the enterprise, and release the goods based on
the electronic return receipt of bank transfers.

ports (not including the goods that the state designate the ports to
import/export), to go through customs formalities of rapid transit
transportation.
ⅳ. Door-to-door inspection and release
To the import/export goods that shall be examined but be not convenient to be
examined in customs clearance spot, customs shall, basing on the
requirements of the enterprises, give priority to dispatching members to
examine the goods in the link of combined production or loading/unloading.
ⅴ. Urgent customs clearance
Customs gives priority to auditing to the import/export goods of above-
mentioned enterprises. In the customs clearance spot with excessive
import/export goods, customs shall establish “to facilitate customs clearance”
window to go through customs formalities in advance. These enterprises can
contact with the competent customs through an appointment for customs
clearance procedures during working hours and holidays.
ⅵ. Release with customs securities
Because of a temporary inability to provide certain documents (not including
import and export license documents) or other information, customs are
unable to identify the goods classification, assessment of value and other
customs clearance conditions resulting in unpunctual examination and release
of the goods. To solve such problems, customs shall allow above-mentioned
enterprises to go through customs formalities in advance, in the form of
securities recognized by the customs, and to add on the document or
information and pay duties or go through other procedures after a specified
period of time.
