Customs Seizure Of Parcels To Ban Overseas Purchasing? Shanghai Customs Responded Untrue

Recently, people feel that goods are heavily buckled by customs policies, which may be related to the documents executed by the customs in September, but they are also handled in a daily way.

The customs did not set up warehouses specially designed for storing parcels. If they were all sent to customs like the status display, customs officers would have been drowned.

Recently, a lot of websites have been released on the Internet.

Complain about the news of Customs debit is not required to be returned, that is, the speed of customs clearance is too slow, and some buyers are urged to shoot as soon as possible, until the end of the year will only become more and more difficult.

Is this really the case? Shanghai customs told reporters: "no new regulations have been issued, and customs is normally supervised by the general administration.

For taxable goods, the collection of import duties according to law is not "seizure".

"A large number of national customs seizures of overseas parcels have been banned overseas," an article recently circulated in WeChat's circle of friends.

Not only Suzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Haikou, Beijing, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Dalian and so on have been "notified" that imported international mail is being taxed and deducted.

A netizen wrote, "this is the goods that the Shanghai customs has today withheld. It is said that the Shanghai customs warehouse has doubled, and it has been specially used for withholding goods."

And a picture of a parcel stacked up into a hill.

In addition to complaining about ceaselessly purchasing, some of the consumers themselves feel that customs clearance is slowing down or being stuck, but some people suspect that this is a kind of purchase that buyers have to take as soon as possible.

So, is there any recent situation of stricter customs?

Miss Shen, a part-time white collar worker, has been purchasing overseas for several years. She feels that customs clearance speed has slowed down since October, and it is not seasonal factor.

"Mainly cosmetics, skin care products such as high prices, cheap snacks are all normal."

Miss Shen said that the sea cargo was mainly stuck in the "clearance" section, which is relatively slow.

In addition, she also found that there were differences in parcel sizes in different regions, and the speed of customs clearance in Japan was faster than that in Japan. Australia had only 7 days before customs clearance, but now it took 10 days more quickly, and it was not unusual to wait for more than half a month.

Often from Japan

Hai Tao also believes that Japanese parcels are not affected.

"I bought a skin care product at the end of September and sent it immediately after the National Day holiday.

Recently, I bought a magazine and sent it in two or three days.

The head of a pport company told reporters that recently, people felt that the goods were heavily buckled by customs policies, which may be related to the documents executed by the customs in September. However, it was also handled in a daily way, and it was not clear that they should be "more stringent". The speed of customs clearance in some customs areas was slow, and the users could focus more on feedback, which might give people a more severe impression, but there was no big problem.

Customs response

What will the parcel experience after entering the country?

"Where did the parcel go after entering the country?" "how did my parcel stay at the Customs for so long?" the Shanghai Customs said that after the entry of the parcel, it experienced three main links: the internal Post International Bureau (the entry and exit inspection and quarantine department disinfects the mail, performs the inspection and quarantine procedures, and then examines the customs), the local post office and the post office at the local post office.

The customs inspection was carried out after the International Bureau of the post office was sent to the International Bureau of the post office.

According to the regulations, the entry parcel should be opened and re sealed by the post office personnel. Most of the normal parcels can be disposed of in less than a day, followed by domestic postal pportation.

If we catch up with "black five" and Christmas, most of the package will be crowded.

What you need to pay special attention to is that the package status you see on the Internet shows "send to customs". This is just a display of the status of the post office handover, which does not mean that the parcel is actually delivered to the customs.

The customs did not set up warehouses specially designed for storing parcels. If they were all sent to customs like the status display, customs officers would have been drowned.

Customs refute rumor

Rumor 1: Shanghai customs warehouse doubled, specializing in withholding goods.

Rumor 2: the goods to be deducted should pay 50% more tax?

Myth 3: is the international parcel sensitive period at this time of year?

Shanghai Customs: false.

Customs is normally supervised according to the announcement of the general administration.
