What do you mean by international express delivery to the customs for release before delivery? Do you have to pay taxes?

1, you don't have to pay tax when you send it to the customs.

It doesn't have to be like this. Sending the parcel to the customs is only a spot check by the customs on the express parcel. The post office sorts the express parcels that need to be taxed, and the notice website uniformly displays "Send to Customs". Whether the package actually needs to be taxed depends on the actual situation of the items in the package, for example, if it is below the duty-free quota (50 yuan), then the package does not need to be taxed. If tax needs to be paid, EMS will inform the recipient, and we can also preliminarily judge from the query status: we will not update the next status for more than three days.

Even if the consignee is required to clear customs and pick up the goods in the past, it is not necessary to pay taxes. On-site unpacking and inspection will determine the actual situation, and both parties will check the customs value of the goods and release them at a low price. So it doesn't mean that you have to pay taxes to get the goods.

2. Delivered to the customs twice.

It often happens that it is sent to the customs twice (sometimes three times), which often appears in the display of EMS. Generally understood "customs" includes security inspection, inspection and quarantine, and customs. The actual customs only includes the last process. Therefore, an express parcel has to go through three inspection departments after entering the customs, and each inspection unit has its own duties. If the parcel shows that it was sent to the customs twice, it may have been checked by the inspection and quarantine (once) and then checked by the customs (twice).

3. There was no repeated inspection.

Sending it to the customs twice is not a duplicate inspection. Many people think that their packages have passed the customs once after being sent to the customs twice, and they will come back in two days. As mentioned above, there are actually three departments to check for an express parcel. Inspection and quarantine (commonly known as commodity inspection), inspection and quarantine should go through two steps: disinfection and detection. Generally, the disinfection of international mail parcels is only aimed at the outer packaging of the parcels. If the commodity inspection is in doubt, you can also ask the post office to open the parcel to check whether there are contraband. Inspection and quarantine are not subject to customs supervision; The last step is customs. What the customs has to do is to perform its duties on the items in the parcel, and the personal postal items are treated according to the duty-paid price list. Packages usually have to be X-rayed to know what they are.

So, normally, you don't have to come back after a few days of customs inspection. Faced with countless packages, customs officers are too inefficient to do so.

After being sent to the customs, it will not move.

Many times, after an international mail is sent to the customs, it will not be updated, and it will not be updated for days or weeks. If it has not been updated for more than a week, this email may be a taxable package, and the recipient needs to declare it to the customs. At this time, the courier company (EMS here) will inform the recipient to clear the customs and pick up the goods.

Under normal circumstances, a package will not be updated for several weeks, but it will be sent to the customs. At this time, the recipient needs to go through customs clearance as much as possible to prevent his package from being returned. Some places only keep January, while others keep March.
