1. Reporting arrival of goods
All shipments entering China must be reported to Customs at time of arrival for clearance. In most cases, the carrier reports the shipment to China Customs at the entry point into China. The report may be submitted electronically or by a paper document.
The most commonly used form is the Inward Cargo Manifest, which is prepared by the carrier.The carrier provides the importer's customs broker with a manifest that includes an identifier number and the customs invoice. The broker then submits the proper documentation to ensure proper clearance and accounting for the shipment.

After making sure all the required information is accurately filled out for release, the importer's customs broker submits a release package electronically or by paper to China Customs.
Depending on the carrier and port of arrival there are a number of different release procedures that can happen. Your China customs broker works with the carrier and customs to ensure prompt and seamless release of your goods. The commercial invoice and Inward Cargo Manifest are used to support the release process.
Some goods may be subject to the requirements of other government departments and may require additional documentation such as licenses, certificates or permits (i.e.: for wines and foods,electronics,2nd-hand machine).
