The third-party platform will register the goods on the service platform, and the registration content includes the name, description, HS code, etc. The application for goods registration will be submitted to the local customs and then submitted to the management platform. The HS code of the goods must be determined before the goods information is sent to the service platform, and the customs will review the goods on the list.
The third-party comprehensive service platform is responsible for collecting data and seamlessly connecting with the service platform. The information is automatically sent to the service platform when the online transaction is completed.
The e-commerce company configures the corresponding goods according to the order, seals the parcel, prints the mail details sheet and sends it to the logistics company for delivery. At the same time as the delivery, the service platform activates the temporarily stored transaction list and electronically declares it to the customs based on the parcel collection and delivery information sent by the logistics company. After the list is electronically declared to the customs, it becomes a regular declaration list. The regular declaration list belongs to law enforcement data and shall not be modified without authorization. At the same time, it is retained in the internal network of the customs.
When the e-commerce order is completed, the payment company sends the payment information to the service platform, and the service platform transmits the payment information to the customs management platform. The management platform automatically compares the payment information and the list information according to the order number, and returns the inconsistent lists.
Red and green channels are set up in the management platform. After the red channel goods are activated, they enter the on-site review. After the on-site customs verifies the supervision documents, they are activated again for release. Tax-related goods are directly transferred to the declaration form for declaration; after the green channel goods are activated, they enter the release link. The on-site customs sets up monitoring posts to implement real-time monitoring of the green channel goods entering the release link. If abnormal conditions are found, they can be manually transferred to the on-site review link to prevent the certificate-related goods that are not prompted by the system parameters from entering the green channel.
The management platform automatically randomly controls the list goods according to the inspection rate setting, and risk management personnel can also use this function for manual control.
Logistics companies scan the mail barcodes, and the customs conducts X-ray machine on-screen comparison through the automatic inspection and sorting assembly line, and manual control is performed for the certificate-related function. Goods, goods that need to be unpacked for inspection, and released goods are off the line from different ports.
After the inspection and release, the mail is sealed according to the existing supervision regulations and requirements, and transported to the port customs using customs supervision vehicles registered and filed with the customs.
The customs at the port will verify the seal and release the goods.
After the goods leave the country through the mail or express delivery channels, the logistics company will feedback the exit information to the customs through the service platform. The system will summarize the exit information of the goods into customs declaration data according to the list verification and release, and the summary verification will be submitted to H2000 for customs declaration.
