For the import of goods, the current national customs recognized in addition to temporary entry there are two ways: one is the general trade declaration of imports, the other is to express the way of imports, in these two forms of imports, have their own advantages.

The advantage of general trade declaration is that it can import the goods in large quantities, and it will provide all taxes and related charges levied by customs. The taxes provided by the company can be used for tax deduction and tax refund. But the limits of general trade import are also very large. One: For bulk cargo and more urgently needed goods, general trade does not reflect the advantages it has. Because first of all, it needs the clearance time is relatively slow (general trade import requirements of various documents, approval must be complete, processing time will take a long time). Second: It requires the import of goods must be separate use of trailer separate customs entrance , which would result in increased costs and delays in the import of goods. General trade more applicable to: production of raw materials, machinery production lines, such as large high-value goods.

As far as the express import is concerned. Its advantages are obvious. First of all, it can not require the owner to provide the goods documents and related certificates. Second, because the information it requires is only the commercial invoice and packing list of the goods--so the time and speed of the express import is faster, From the receipt of goods to the import of customs clearance to the mainland generally within a day or so. If you encounter more goods in the case, you can declare imports in batches, so the import of large quantities of goods can also take the Express import mode of operation! Express import more applicable to: IC, communications products, liquor, cosmetics, precious leather goods, small tonnage machines.

And the cost of importing, The general trade import is obviously higher than the express import. Because it requires all the fees and taxes levied on a single ticket, however, because it can provide the corresponding invoices and tax proof. These are essential to companies that have such a need. The disadvantage of express import is that it is not possible to separate the various invoices levied by the customs, as it is an integral part of the import process. Import duties and import tax increases arising from a consignment of goods: And this part of the tax is imported by the entrusted logistics companies deducted. However, if there is a need for bills, it can also be handled by other means. It is also perfectly legal. The cost of the goods is much lower than that of the general trade. So there are a lot of customers who choose to discount this type of import. .

In view of the above content. Express import relative to the general trade import is obviously the advantage is: Express imports of time spent less, faster, simple procedures. Is definitely better than the general trade import.
