每个国家/地区都有自己与进出口清关相关的海关要求,因此您的团队中必须有当地专家来简化流程。但一个常见的条件是,清关代理(或在某些国家/地区称为报关行)获得当地海关边境机构和当局的认可,可以将货物清关并进入该国。
代理在清算客户货物时应拥有有效的清算许可证,因此请确保代理的凭证是最新的。许多国家都有严格的许可要求,并需要定期审查——如果代理商不完全遵守规则,他们的许可就会被吊销。一些国家甚至举行考试以确保代理人保持高标准,尽管其他国家更喜欢审查所获得的经验。
清关代理所需的最重要的特质之一是组织能力。获得进出口清关需要大量的文书工作。如果运输和清关过程中出现任何问题,客户(又称您)将支付最终价格。确保您的代理人认真对待他们的工作。
代理通常专注于其所在国家/地区,并直接与当地海关部门打交道。货运代理则服务全球。我们将两者结合起来,并在苏州运成设有内部清关部门,因此您无需四处寻找负责的第三方机构;我们会为您处理所有事宜。这样做的显著优势在于,我们可以为您处理所有事宜,并为您提供最佳方案建议,确保您的货物每次都能快速轻松地完成清关,从而满足您的全球贸易活动需求。
What Is a Custom Clearance Agent, and Do I Need One?
Every country has its own customs requirements relating to import and export clearance, so it is essential to have a local expert on your team to streamline processes. But one common condition is that the Customs Clearance Agent – or customs broker as they are known in some countries – are accredited with local customs border agencies and authorities to get goods cleared and into the country.
An agent should have a valid clearing licence when clearing customer goods, so be sure your agent’s credentials are up to date. Many countries have stringent licensing requirements subject to regular review – if agents do not follow the rules perfectly, their licence is revoked. Some countries even hold exams to ensure agents maintain a high standard, although others prefer to review acquired experience.
One of the most significant traits needed of your Customs Clearance Agent is organisation skills. There is a great deal of paperwork to gain export and import clearance. The client, AKA you, will pay the ultimate price if anything during shipping and clearance goes wrong. Be sure your agent takes their job as the serious endeavour it is.
An agent is often specific to the country they are based in and deal directly with the local customs authorities. A Freight Forwarder has a global presence. We combine the two and have an in-house customs clearance department at Suzhou Yuncheng, so you will not need to search around to find a responsible third party involved in proceedings; we will do it for you. The significant advantage to this is that we can handle everything for you and advise on the best course of action to get your goods cleared quickly and easily every time for your global trade activities.
