What is Customs Clearance Service？

Customs clearance services involve a series of procedures, including customs declaration, tax payment, and inspection, carried out by a professional customs clearance company in cross-border trade. The main goal is to ensure the smooth import and export of goods while complying with relevant national laws and regulations. These services typically include customs declaration, tax calculation, declaration review, inspection declaration, and other necessary steps. Since customs regulations vary by country and region, customs clearance services must be adaptable and handled according to the specific circumstances of each case.

What is Customs Clearance for Export from China?

China’s export customs clearance refers to the procedures that must be completed when goods are exported from China to other countries or regions. According to Chinese customs regulations, exporters are required to provide relevant documents, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and other necessary paperwork for customs review and verification. Additionally, exporters must comply with the laws, regulations, and standards of the destination country or region, ensuring that goods meet the required quality, safety, and environmental protection criteria. Customs duties, value-added tax, and other applicable taxes must also be paid according to regulations.

During China’s export customs clearance process, customs authorities will carry out a series of steps, including customs declaration, inspection declaration, inspection, and potential tax refunds. These procedures depend on various factors such as the nature, value, and quantity of the goods, ensuring that the goods pass through customs smoothly and are delivered to their destination.

What is Import Customs Clearance?

    Import customs clearance refers to the customs formalities and procedures that need to be completed when importing goods from other countries into the home country. These procedures include a series of links such as declaration, tax payment, domestic sales approval, and inspection. Importers need to provide relevant documents, such as import license, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and other documents, for customs review and verification. At the same time, the importer also needs to abide by the laws, regulations and standards of the importing country or region to ensure that the goods meet the requirements of quality, safety, and environmental protection. After the import customs clearance is completed, the goods can officially enter the country and be handed over to the importer for subsequent sales, processing, production and other operations.

Do I have to pay customs for a package from China to the Philippines?

Yes, you might have to pay customs for a package from China to the Philippines if its CIF value exceeds PHP 10,000, which is the de minimis threshold. Below this value, no taxes or duties are generally charged. If the value is higher, duties ranging from 0% to 20% and a GST of 12% may apply based on the product's HS Code.

What is the cheapest way to ship from China to the Philippines?

For shipping 20 or 40-foot containers, the route from Shenzhen to Manila is often the most cost-effective option. 

Regarding small parcels under 2kg, the cheapest method is typically China Post, though it's important to note that the transit time can be quite lengthy, ranging from about 2 to 4 weeks.

What is the payment method for shipping fees?

For shipping fees below 500 US dollars, we can accept payment through Paypal or T/T. If the shipping fee exceeds 500 US dollars, we can only accept payment through T/T. However, if your supplier is willing to make payment to us in CNY, we are also happy to accept it.

How can I track the shipping status of my goods?

For air freight: You can track the transportation route by entering the bill of lading number on the website of the airline company. The bill of lading number is composed of Arabic numerals and has a format of "***-**** ****". For sea freight: We usually recommend tracking the shipment through the container number on the website of the shipping company as this method is the most accurate.
