Beijing customs inspection notice

Receiving a Beijing customs inspection notice​ can be an unexpected hurdle in your import or export schedule, but it is a standard regulatory procedure to ensure trade compliance and security. When your shipment passing through Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) or Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) is flagged by the risk control system, you will officially receive a Beijing customs inspection notice​ via the International Trade Single Window platform or through your appointed customs broker. This document indicates that officials need to physically verify the cargo to ensure the declared information matches the actual goods.

Upon receiving the Beijing customs inspection notice, it is critical to act swiftly. The notifyee, usually the importer or exporter, must prepare all relevant documentation, including the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading, and ensure they or their agent are present at the designated inspection site. Ignoring or delaying response to a Beijing customs inspection notice​ can lead to significant storage demurrage charges at the terminal and potential penalties for non-compliance. The inspection itself can range from a simple X-ray scan (machine inspection) to a detailed physical unpacking (manual inspection) depending on the nature of the goods and the suspicions raised.

Once the process is complete, the officers will issue a inspection record. If the goods pass, the hold is released; otherwise, further actions like taxation adjustment or legal investigation may follow. Always treating the Beijing customs inspection notice​ as a priority task is the best strategy to minimize disruptions to your supply chain and maintain a good compliance record with Chinese authorities.
