Taobao bought something, and Tmall prompted to upload an ID card for customs clearance. Is it safe? Can I not upload it? Does anyone know

It is safe for Tmall International to upload its ID card for customs clearance, and it is necessary not to upload it. The ID card information uploaded by the buyer through the customs clearance data portal uploaded by Tmall International will be marked with a special watermark label for customs clearance, and for the safety of the buyer's ID card, only the merchant's main account can view the buyer's ID card information during the transaction, but it cannot be downloaded, and the merchant cannot view it after the transaction is completed.

Failure to upload or upload customs clearance materials in time may lead to customs clearance failure. In order to ensure that the goods reach your hands as soon as possible, it is recommended to upload photos of the front and back of your ID card in time.

According to the extended information customs policy, foreign goods entering China need individual buyers to provide ID card information to complete customs declaration. Tmall International's products are composed of imported spot goods and overseas cross-border goods, and different goods have different customs clearance strategies:

(1) If the purchased goods are rookie logistics distribution orders, including rookie bonded goods and rookie goods collection, you don't need to upload ID information, and rookie will provide convenient services.

(2) If you purchase overseas direct mail goods, according to the requirements of China Customs, individual buyers need to provide the consignee's ID card information for personal goods entry declaration, which is a normal process. If the customs clearance materials are not uploaded or uploaded in time, customs clearance may fail.

(3) If you buy imported spot goods, such goods have passed the customs clearance of general trade import, and you don't need to upload your ID card.

Tips: The ID card of the same recipient only needs to be uploaded once!
