Beijing Customs Clearance Guide

A practical Beijing customs clearance guide​ starts long before the aircraft touches down. Whether your cargo lands at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK)​ or enters via Beijing Daxing (PKX)​ / road freight, clearance runs through Beijing Customs​ and its subordinate offices such as Capital Airport Customs​ and the Express Courier Supervision Center.

Core Flow (General Trade / Air Freight)

1. Pre-arrival prep​ – confirm the correct HS code, required permits/licenses​ (CCC, food/cosmetics access docs, etc.), and make sure the overseas supplier's commercial invoice, packing list, AWB/ B/L​ are consistent and legible.
2. Declaration​ – the importer or its licensed broker files via China's International Trade "Single Window"​ (electronic declaration) and uploads / presents supporting docs as requested.
3. Customs review & inspection​ – customs may release directly or trigger document/physical inspection. For couriers, the express operator​ handles manifest/list transmission and coordinates on-site moves when inspection occurs.
4. Tax payment & release​ – once duties/VAT are settled (often online), the system issues release; you then clear storage/terminal charges and extract the cargo.

This Beijing customs clearance guide​ also reminds shippers: airside storage accrues quickly, so complete paperwork and accurate descriptions matter; when in doubt, call 12360 Customs Hotline​ or your broker early—because a good Beijing customs clearance guide​ is really about preparation, not last-minute heroics.
