What does it mean that customs SMS requires authentication?

Customs SMS requires identity verification mainly to verify the identity information of consumers who buy overseas goods, and to prevent criminals from using other people's identity information to evade taxes and other illegal acts.

When you receive a short message from the customs asking for identity verification, you need to enter the customs app system according to the prompt of the short message and operate according to the prompt inside. If you confirm that you didn't buy the text message yourself, you can also contact the customs department to check that your ID card was stolen.

It should be noted that the overseas goods you purchased may not be cleared smoothly before the certification is completed. Therefore, it is recommended that you complete the authentication operation as soon as possible after receiving the short message, so as not to affect your receiving experience.
