How long does it take for Zhongtong International Customs clearance?

Under normal circumstances, it takes about 1-3 working days for Zhongtong International Express to clear customs. When the customs declares the duty-paid package, the courier company informs the recipient to go through the customs clearance formalities with the arrival notice and identity documents.

The goods can only be released and the owner or declarer can pick up the goods after the customs clearance has fulfilled various obligations and gone through the formalities of customs declaration, inspection, tax payment and release. Similarly, all kinds of means of transport carrying import and export goods also need to declare to the customs, go through customs formalities and obtain customs permission.

Why do some packages go through customs all the time, even for a month or two?

1. There are a large number of packages at the customs clearance station, and a large number of packages return to China every day. Packages need to be cleared on a first-come-first-served basis, and the clearance process will not be accelerated because of a single package. This operation is actually not feasible.

2. For example, during the peak hours such as double 1 1, the warehouse at the customs clearance yard is bursting, and the station is understaffed, so the normal timeliness cannot be guaranteed.

3. The suspicious package was mixed with the normal package, resulting in the whole batch of goods being detained by the customs for inspection.

4. The technical failure of the customs clearance field caused the station to fail to operate normally.

5. Other accidents, etc.
