There are many kinds of documents in foreign trade，When our foreign trade newcomers enter the industry，It is possible to be dizzy with all the various documents，To use a popular saying，It's "Split!"But if we don't clarify the differences and connections between these documents，There is no proper procedure for handling these documents，Then our foreign trade work will be difficult to cope with。For people who are ready to get involved in the foreign trade industry, if they can't stand these complex operations and have no money to hire professionals to do it, Xiaobian suggests not to enter this industry。In this regard, this paper introduces two kinds of documents commonly used in international trade: Certificate of origin and customs declaration。What is a Certificate of Origin and a customs certificate？Is there any connection between the two？
First, what does the certificate of origin and customs declaration of foreign trade industry represent？
Generally speaking, certificates of origin are divided into ordinary certificates of origin and inclusive certificates of origin。Certificate of origin is short for Certificate of origin。The certificate of origin is used to prove the origin of the goods exported by foreign traders。If the country of the goods and the country of production have friendly international trade agreements, the importing country can enjoy different tariff treatment by simply presenting the certificate of origin。For example, Pakistan has signed multiple preferential tariff agreements with China in international trade。Therefore, when Chinese goods are exported to Pakistan, as long as the foreign trade trader shows the certification document that the origin of the goods is China to the Pakistani port staff, it can enjoy the relevant tariff concessions。However, the GSP certificate of origin is a tariff preference system adopted by most countries, in principle, it is the same as the general certificate of origin, only for the same type of countries, such as developing countries, developed countries, EU countries and so on。
Customs declaration document, as the name suggests, customs declaration document refers to a series of documents submitted to the customs when the import and export of goods, including: customs declaration letter, foreign exchange verification, invoice, packing list, contract copy, goods arrival report。
Wait, if some ports allow renminbi declaration, there is no need for foreign exchange verification。If you need to import goods, you need to provide customs declaration letter, invoice, packing list, copy of contract, copy of import bill of lading, processing manual, tax exemption certificate, etc。
2. What is the connection between Certificate of Origin and Customs declaration form？
Certificate of origin is closely related to customs declaration documents，Because the certificate of origin will be directly related to the preferential tariff policy during customs declaration，此外，The certificate of origin also relates to the smooth clearance of the goods，例如，Suppose we export a batch of goods to the United States，But the United States already has a policy of not importing Chinese goods，Then when our exporter or importer in the United States provides a certificate of origin in China to the United States Customs，I can't get through the customs。In addition, the certificate of origin should be consistent with the information contained on the bill of lading (such as product name, category name, weight, quantity, importer, exporter, etc.), otherwise it will be troublesome to handle the customs formalities。Of course, Bian Xiao also heard that the certificate of origin and the bill of lading are inconsistent, so the customs clearance can be smooth, but I still suggest that foreign trade personnel maintain the consistency of the documents。
