1. Summary declaration and complete declaration are the same declaration form, with only one declaration form number.
2. While implementing the “two-step declaration” reform, the existing declaration mode (i.e. the traditional declaration mode – “one-time declaration” mode) is still retained, and enterprises can choose a mode to declare according to their actual needs.
3. Customs inspection will only occur in the summary declaration stage, not in the complete declaration stage.
Customs inspection must be carried out after the goods arrive, and cannot be arranged before the goods arrive.
4. Enterprises applying “two-step declaration” must promise to make a complete declaration within the prescribed time limit. Customs records the declaration time of the summary declaration of the declaration form. If the enterprise fails to make a complete declaration within the prescribed time limit due to reasons of the enterprise, it will be used as one of the bases for adjusting the enterprise’s eligibility and credit rating for the “two-step declaration”.
5. “Two-step declaration” adopts paperless customs clearance, does not require on-site delivery of documents, and customs declaration information is uploaded through the standard version of the “single window”.
6. If enterprises have any questions, they can submit business consultations on the customs portal website or call the 12360 consultation hotline.
