In international transportation, it is very troublesome to encounter customs inspection. In the event of inspection, the time limit for signing the goods needs to be increased, which will affect the overall plan for signing the goods, and will also generate additional inspection fees. However, whether to be checked is not something we can control. If you are lucky, you can avoid it, but if you are unlucky, you can't help it. Now let's understand some things about customs inspection in international transportation.

1. What is customs inspection
Inspection is an important means of customs supervision. The customs will conduct random spot checks and control inspections on some sensitive product names based on their own experience and policies at the time, and sometimes clearly indicate which information to check on the control instructions. During the inspection, the box will be opened to check whether it is consistent with the information declared at the customs, such as product name, specification, quantity, weight, number of pieces, shipping mark, whether it is infringing, the place of origin, whether the customs code is accurate, the value of the goods, and whether there is fraud Taxes, evasion of commodity inspection and so on.
