What are Customs Formalites? The process of making customs formalities for imported goods
Although the phrase "customs formalities" appears frequently in daily life, not everyone understands what it means because this phrase is specialized and relatively complicated
According to Wikipedia: Customs is an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting tariffs and for controlling the flow of goods, including animals, transports, personal effects, and hazardous items, into and out of a country. Traditionally, Customs has been considered as the fiscal subject that charges customs duties (i.e. tariffs) and other taxes on import and export.
According to the explaination of Vietnam Customs Law in 2014:
23. Customs Formality are tasks that customs declarants and customs officials must perform in accordance with the provisions of this Law for goods and means of transport.
Thus, customs formalities are necessary procedures to ensure that goods and means of transportation are exported or imported across the border.
Areas of customs operations include:
Border overland gates, international rail stations, international civil airports;
- Domestic seaport with export, import, exit, entry, and transit operations;
- Customs-supervised storage areas for goods, export processing zones, and customs preference zones;
Customs clearance locations, bonded warehouses, tax protection warehouses, international post offices, and customs declarants' offices when checking after customs clearance;
Locations for inspection of imported and exported goods in the customs territory
Other areas and locations that satisfy the requirements of state management are allowed to export, import, transit goods, exit, enter, and transit transport vehicles according to the Decision of the Vietnamese Prime Minister.
Depending on the type of imported goods, the business will need to go through different customs procedures. However, the basic process of import customs clearance includes the following steps:
Step 1: Identifying the categories of imported goods
It is necessary to decide what type of imported goods to purchase. For example, if it is a normal commodity, there is no need to pay special attention, but if it is a commodity that must be declared in conformity with regulations, the business must carry out procedures for announcing conformity before the goods are brought to the port...
Step 2: Verify the package of goods paperwork.
In the process of customs clearance, business need to prepare a set of documents, basically including the following documents:

-Bill of Landing.
-Packing List.
