Generally, cross-border e-commerce (B2C) is confronted with the main reasons for the inspection and seizure of goods:
Inconsistent declaration value and valuation;
Private goods exceeding 5000 RMB;
Relevant policies of the local countries.
How to avoid customs seizure?
In order to avoid customs seizure, the general package can be written as personal gift, and the chance of private parcel being checked by the customs is very low.
The declared value can be written relatively less, the value of valuables is very high. In addition, customs clearance fee is calculated according to the declared value, the higher the declaration value, the higher the customs clearance fee. Also, if you need a customer to send back the product, be sure to let the customer write down the value of the application.
Understanding national policies, such as Australia, although customs clearance is easy, but battery products are not allowed by customs, so batteries or electromagnetic products, try not to send to Australia. If you must sell the product with battery, you can tell the customer not to send the battery, only the product.
Choose safe delivery. DHL's discount rate is very high, followed by FedEx and UPS. The relatively safe delivery method is the air registration packet and EMS, and the other EMS can be returned to the place of delivery free of charge.
The heavier the weight of the parcel, the more likely it is to be detained by the customs.
Different products are subject to different customs, such as electronic products are more likely to be buckled than garments.
The declaration strategies adopted in different countries are not different. British and American customs are relatively less strict, the declaration value can be lowered appropriately; If the German customs is strict, it should not be too low to declare the price; Like Brazil, the customs is also very strict, filling the declaration material must be careful, accurate, otherwise very troublesome.
However, it is important to know that these are the chances of reducing the discount, which can not be completely eliminated, or the customs will not be idle all day.
What if the unfortunate parcel is detained by the customs?
Timely contact with the customer, it is better to let the customer assist in customs clearance, if customs clearance fee is low, we can talk to the customer first about the customs clearance fee.
If the customer doesn't want to, see if the package can be returned. If it is EMS or something, the package can be sent back free of charge and can be sent back to the customer for delivery.
If the package cannot be sent back, the customs clearance fee will be too high, so please give up the package in this case.
Do not procrastinate, otherwise, once the customer initiated the dispute or even the credit card withdrawal, the customer has not received the goods, which is very detrimental to the seller.
