Australia customs clearance import export

1、 Imports

The customs declaration of imported goods is divided into two stages.

（1） Declaration（Australia customs clearance import export）

The first stage declaration shall be made before the goods actually arrive in Australia. The declaration contents include the details of transportation mode and voyage, cargo information, estimated arrival time in Australia, etc. Declaring these information in advance can enable Australian customs and inspection and quarantine departments to carry out risk analysis in advance and speed up inspection and release.

One stage declaration of all goods must be made through the Integrated Cargo Clearance System (ICS) of Australian Customs and Border Protection. Transit goods and transit goods must also be declared to the customs electronically. The cargo information can be submitted to the ICS system before the cargo arrives at the port. After receiving various declaration information, the system will deal with them in order when necessary (except for bonded handling applications, which must be submitted after relevant cargo reports).

This "early declaration and early tracking" mode can enable declarers to declare goods as early as possible, track the status of goods transportation and declaration acceptance as early as possible, know when goods will be released, and speed up customs clearance.

Status tracking is mainly divided into three stages: after the "pre arrival report of goods" is submitted; After the risk analysis of "cargo report" is completed; 3. After the means of transport for imported goods leaves the last overseas port.

1. Declaration of marine cargo

The first marine cargo declaration document is the "Pending Arrival Report" (IAR), followed by the "Cargo List Report" (CLR) and "Sea Cargo Report" (SCR). The above report must be submitted before the cargo arrives at the first Australian port.

After the goods arrive at each Australian port, the Actual Arrival Report (AAR) must be submitted.

All marine cargo discharged from the ship shall be provided with unloading report. There are two formats for marine cargo unloading report:

-For container goods, the Cargo Terminal Operator (CTO) shall submit the Progressive Discharge Report (PDR);

-For bulk and bulk cargo, submit the Sea Cargo Outturn Report.

The marine cargo can be released after unloading from the ship (if necessary, it can only be released after going through the formalities of tax payment and inspection release), bonded transit transportation or unpacking. The application for bonded movement (UBMR for short) must be submitted before release.

After the goods arrive at the wharf or warehouse, the unloading report shall also be submitted to release the handling guarantee, also known as the "unloading report of the consignee".

The time limit for declaration of the above documents and documents and the requirements of the declarer are as follows:
