Alternative 2: US customs clearance | Just follow these five steps to save time, efficiently and easily clear customs

After the epidemic was relaxed, people went out of their homes and abroad. Phenomenal cultural and tourism activities such as Tang Dynasty Secret Box and Zibo Barbecue were in full swing. Cross-border tourism and transactions such as overseas travel and foreign trade were recovering.

For foreign traders or cross-border travelers, if we don’t “clear customs” now, when will we wait?

Faced with the tedious customs clearance registration process, the time-consuming and labor-intensive customs clearance inspection process, the unresolved customs clearance results... and issues such as product deductions, returns, and confiscations, it can be said that "every step is relevant but customs clearance is difficult." How can cross-border people pass customs easily?

Just follow these five steps to save time, efficiently and easily pass the level.

01 Communication is the prerequisite, time-saving and efficient

The FDA has jurisdiction over imported products when the products enter. Once the goods are intercepted, they must first communicate with the FDA in a timely manner. You can ask the reason first to understand why it is blocked? What information is needed? Generally speaking, the FDA will issue a "notification" and mention the reason why the product was blocked. After knowing the reason for being intercepted, you first need to respond to the FDA as soon as possible, and secondly, provide the required information and documents as required.

02 Evidence is very important and is required for customs clearance

Submit the required information to FDA in a timely manner, and check whether the provided documents are within the validity period, whether there are changes in product categories, and other details. Under normal circumstances, supporting documents include certificate of origin, product and ownership, quality inspection report, etc.

03 Sampling inspection is indispensable, and there is less work to assist in inspection

The random inspection ratio is generally 3-5%. If the random inspection sample fails, it will be detained. Products that fail the spot inspection will have an opportunity for a hearing and appeal. At this time, in addition to actively cooperating with the inspection, they must also provide necessary assistance and support to ensure that the products clear customs as soon as possible.

04 It is necessary to make timely modifications. Clear the customs as soon as possible without delay.

If the product has technical or quality problems, it is necessary to negotiate and communicate with the FDA and make corresponding modifications and adjustments as required to ensure that it meets its regulatory requirements.

05 Unable to modify and need to withdraw, active cooperation is most important

If the product does have major quality or safety issues and cannot be modified or improved, the product needs to be withdrawn. If FDA decides to destroy it, the goods will be destroyed directly. It is necessary to actively cooperate with FDA requirements and complete relevant processing procedures, including notifying consumers and destroying goods.
