📦 ​**Cross-Border Logistics Essentials | Customs Clearance, Declaration & Release (2025 Update)**​
Confused by customs jargon? Master the core concepts in 3 steps!

1️⃣ Customs Clearance​
The "final exam" for imported goods! Importers/forwarders must complete declaration → tax payment → inspection → obtain release approval before pickup.
👉 Key points: Occurs after arrival, costs include duties + service fees, compliance avoids delays!

2️⃣ Customs Declaration​
The ​core step​ of clearance! Licensed brokers submit cargo details, commercial documents (invoice, packing list), and tax calculations before shipment (export) or post-arrival (import).
🔑 Pro tip: Errors in docs = higher inspection risk! Professional agents save 30% time.

3️⃣ Customs Release​
The official "graduation certificate"! Marks legal entry/exit after document review and physical inspection (if required).
🎉 Critical milestone: Declaration approved → inspection passed → goods released!
