National Integrated Clearance

National Customs Integration is a reform measure implemented by the General Administration of Customs of China. It allows enterprises to independently choose any customs office for declaration, tax payment, and release, while goods are subject to physical supervision at the port, achieving 'one declaration, step-by-step processing'. Application scenarios: Applicable to all import and export enterprises, especially those operating in multiple locations or frequently declaring customs in different places, as it can reduce logistics costs and shorten customs clearance time. Precautions: Enterprises must complete customs registration and electronic port network access, and declaration information must be true and accurate, otherwise they may be subject to targeted inspection; integration does not change existing tax incentives and regulatory document requirements, and when involving cross-customs areas, attention should be paid to operational differences among different customs districts. Compared with 'local declaration, port release', integration allows enterprises to freely choose the declaration location, no longer limited to the local area; unlike 'paperless customs clearance' which focuses on document electronization, integration focuses on regional coordination and process optimization. Foreign trade practitioners should be familiar with 'Single Window' operations and pay attention to the latest announcements from the General Administration of Customs.
