Intersafetrade: “Customs clearance of cargo from China” service

Customs formalities are considered one of the most difficult area of cargo delivery from China. Independent execution of declarations requires special knowledge and skills. Intersafetrade provides a full range of services related to customs clearance of goods.

Custom clearance rules of goods from China

Cargo delivery from China with customs clearance is a popular service, which is used by businessmen with different volumes of deliveries, private and legal entities. This is due to certain difficulties that arise when it is conducted by someone with no experience in this field. Those difficulties are related to:

  • lack of knowledge of the customs legislation of different countries: it is necessary to understand the rules for customs clearance of goods and paperwork at least two countries (China and Russia, and in some cases - other CIS countries);
  • lack of experience in the classification of goods according to the codes of foreign economic activity;
  • the inability to personally control the passage of customs and resolve emerging issues;
  • no knowledge of tariffs (they differ in different customs posts even within the same country), which can significantly affect the cost of goods;
  • lack of connections at customs, which help to quickly resolve controversial issues.


Shipment of goods from China with customs clearance is difficult and errors in the design of documents can lead to a significant increase in the cost of cargo. Incorrectly specified customs value can be the basis for a serious delay of goods, which affects sales volumes and profits. That is why it is better to entrust customs clearance to specialists. Employees of Intersafetrade have gained extensive experience and strong ties, their services will help to resolve any issues with the passage through customs quickly and without complications.

Required documentation and customs clearance procedure

The procedure of customs clearance takes place in several stages:

  • Filling out the declaration with the indication of customs codes for foreign economic activity and customs value;
  • filing a declaration with a package of documents confirming the data specified in it;
  • verification of data by regulatory authorities;
  • payment of fees, which are calculated according to special formulas, taking into account the type of goods, batch size, etc.


Knowledge of the documents is a prerequisite for successful and fast customs clearance. Experienced brokers cope with their task perfectly, and independent attempts almost always threaten with failure, unforeseen expenses, and cargo delay. With proper paperwork and full compliance of goods of the specified customs value, customs clearance takes 24 hours (maximum).

Types of customs clearance of goods from China

Intersafetrade offers two options for cooperation. In both cases, the company becomes a customs broker and is engaged in customs clearance of goods without the participation of the client. All the concerns associated with the design, the determination of the customs value of the goods, the passage of inspection points are dealt by our experts. Consider both ways so that you can choose the most suitable option for you.

Customs clearance of goods from China through an intermediary

Intersafetrade performs the functions of an intermediary - a customs broker and provides:

  • logistics;
  • verification;
  • preparation of a complete set of documents;
  • filing of a customs declaration;
  • control of the passage of cargo through customs.


Key point: the owner of the cargo becomes a participant in foreign economic activity, therefore, must report on foreign economic activity to the tax service and regulatory authorities.

Customs clearance of goods from China under a foreign economic contract

In this case, Intersafetrade brokers become the cargo purchasers and they:

  • are fully responsible for transport logistics, customs clearance, documentation;
  • draw up the entire package of documents;
  • control cargo at customs;
  • are engaged in full custom clearance;
  • pay all necessary expenses and taxes.


In fact, employees of the company temporarily become the owners of the contract and the cargo, they deliver it to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine or other CIS countries. The true owner of the goods in accordance with the concluded contract buys products from a broker in the territory of his own country. In this case he is not a participant in foreign economic activity, is not registered as a party to foreign economic activity and does not pay the relevant taxes. Owner receives goods to the warehouse or “to the door”.
