Inspection Declaration Form

Inspection Declaration Form is a legal document used in import and export trade to declare inspection and quarantine to entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities (such as China Customs). Its usage scenarios include: legally inspected commodities, commodities requiring inspection as stipulated in contracts, or goods involving safety, health, and environmental protection. Before import or export, the declarant must fill out the Inspection Declaration Form, attach contracts, invoices, packing lists, etc., and apply to the inspection and quarantine authority for inspection to obtain a customs clearance form or inspection certificate. Precautions: The content of the Inspection Declaration Form must be consistent with contracts, invoices, and other documents to avoid discrepancies; the declaration time limit is usually before entry or before exit, and overdue declaration may incur late declaration fees; different commodities require specific documents (such as certificate of origin, fumigation certificate). Difference from Customs Declaration Form: The Customs Declaration Form is used to declare cargo information to customs for taxation and supervision, while the Inspection Declaration Form is used to declare to the inspection and quarantine department to obtain inspection release; the two often need to be processed sequentially. In addition, the Inspection Declaration Form is the basis for obtaining an inspection certificate, and the inspection certificate is one of the important documents for letter of credit negotiation.
