Green customs clearance is a new type of customs clearance method aimed at ensuring the safety and environmental protection of imported and exported goods. Compared to traditional customs clearance methods, green customs clearance places more emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development.

During the green customs clearance process, the customs department will conduct strict inspections of imported and exported goods to ensure that they comply with domestic and international environmental standards. If excessive or irregular goods are found, they will be detained or returned, and relevant enterprises will be notified for rectification.

In addition, green customs clearance also provides some convenient measures, such as early declaration, appointment for customs clearance, priority inspection, etc., to accelerate the clearance speed of goods. At the same time, the customs department will also strengthen training and guidance for enterprises, help them improve their self inspection capabilities, and ensure the safety and environmental protection of goods from the source.

The process of green customs clearance usually includes the following steps:

Foreign cargo preparation, booking, and preparation of documents;

Prepare documents to be sent to China in advance for inspection, and provide customs clearance documents (or inspection notices) for inbound and outbound goods;

Goods arrive at the port and exchange orders;

Customs declaration, customs clearance tax, tax payment, price review (no objection), customs clearance;

Crush the container, send a trailer to the dock to tow the container after payment, and transport it to the inspection area for official inspection or sample collection (testing for genetically modified and other ingredients is required, sampling in the inspection area is sealed on site, and only after passing the inspection can the goods be picked up);

Passed the inspection, consistent with the declaration, picked up and delivered.

It should be noted that the process and requirements for green customs clearance may vary slightly depending on national and regional laws, regulations, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In addition, when conducting green customs clearance, relevant documents and materials need to be prepared, such as packing lists, invoices, contracts, bills of lading, plant inspection certificates, hygiene certificates, certificates of origin, etc. Without these necessary documents and information, it may result in delayed or rejected customs clearance.

Overall, green customs clearance is a safe, environmentally friendly, and efficient customs clearance method that helps promote international trade and economic development, while also contributing to environmental protection and promoting sustainable development.
