Usually, the customs declaration can be made about 4 days before the ship leaves, and the customs clearance information will be stopped one or two days before the ship's departure, which is called customs clearance.





Customs clearance: customs clearance is a procedure after customs clearance, which will send the relevant information released and the information of goods loaded to the Customs for filing and subsequent export tax refund (foreign exchange verification) and other work. Therefore, the customs clearance date refers to the date when the international ships have completed the customs formalities and settled all kinds of payment before the export, and the customs allowed to leave the port.

It refers to the procedures required by the Customs for import and export goods and transhipment goods to enter or enter the customs territory of a country. Only after the customs declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other procedures can the goods be released.

If it is only in the list that has been released, it indicates that the Customs has not been cleared. Generally, the customs will handle the customs clearance procedures for the goods within 5 working days after the goods are exported.

Therefore, the date of customs clearance is generally later than the closing date, and even later than the date of customs declaration. And these series of actions can be considered as complete clearance. Therefore, the time sequence is customs clearance - Customs - clearance - customs clearance.
