Announcement of the General Administration of Customs [2018] No.28

April 16, 2018

The General Administration of Customs has optimized and integrated enterprises' qualifications for customs declaration and declaration for inspection and quarantine in order to implement the work deployment set forth in the Plan for Deepening Reform of Party and State Institutions. The matters relating thereto are hereby announced as follows:


I. Consolidation Scope of Enterprises' Qualifications for Customs Declaration and Declaration for Inspection and Quarantine
1. The record-filing formalities for enterprises declaring inspection and quarantine on their own, and those for consignees and consigners of customs imported and exported goods, will be merged into the record-filing formalities for consignees and consigners of customs imported and exported goods. An enterprise will simultaneously become qualified for the customs declaration and the declaration for inspection and quarantine, once it has filed a record.
2. The record-filing formalities for declaration agencies for inspection and quarantine, and the registration formalities for customs declaration enterprises (including those with the dual identity within areas under special customs supervision) or the record-filing formalities for branches of customs declaration enterprises, will be consolidated into the registration formalities for customs declaration enterprises and the record-filing formalities for branches of customs declaration enterprises. An enterprise will simultaneously become qualified for the customs declaration and the declaration for inspection and quarantine, once it has registered itself or its branches have filed a record.
3. The record-filing formalities for individuals submitting the declaration for inspection and quarantine, and those for customs declaration personnel, will be combined into the record-filing formalities for declaration personnel.
