Since July 1, 2017, the customs administration has implemented the "one-time declaration and step-by-step clearance" management model across China. "One-time declaration and step- by-step clearance" means, based on the waybill presented before loading, the goods have gone through a hazard prevention and control centre and a tax collection and administration centre, so that the waybill and the customs declaration hazard screening and on-site customs clearance is done on a first-come, first-served basis. After enterprises have finished going through the customs clearance and declaring and paying taxes on their own, the safety access risk clearance is mainly done on-site at port customs, while the tax risk clearance is mainly done after the goods have been released. 1. Promote the application of "advance declaration" mode. Import enterprises are encouraged to apply in advance declaration, handle document review and cargo transportation operations in advance, and non-control inspection goods can be released after arriving at the port. (Announcement on Measures to Further Optimize the Business Environment and Enhance Beijing-Tianjin Cross-border Trade Facilitation (Beijing-Tianjin Joint Announcement No.3)) 2. Implement the "release before change" mode. For customs declaration forms found to be abnormal in customs inspection, but not involving certificates, taxes or inspection and
114 Beijing Foreign Investment Guide 2019-2020
quarantine risks, and only involving the release of changed documents after inspection, it is allowed to modify the data of declaration forms after customs release. (Announcement on Measures to Further Optimize the Business Environment and Enhance Beijing-Tianjin Cross- border Trade Facilitation (Beijing-Tianjin Joint Announcement No.3)) 3.

Cancel the automatic import licensing measures for goods under 118 customs commodity numbers, a total of 15 kinds of goods.

Consolidated Tax Collection [Division of Customs Duties] Customs shall perform consolidated tax collection on taxes payable when eligible taxpayers import goods several times in a short period. On the principle of effective supervision, the customs office implements a policy of "tax collection after customs clearance and consolidated tax collection." (1) Main contents: ① Tax collection after customs clearance can shorten processing times. Under this policy, enterprises can take delivery of goods first. Customs then shifts the tax collection method from real-time document examination based on goods to post-process examination and tax settlement. ② Consolidated tax collection can increase efficiency in using funds. Enterprises can consolidate and pay taxes within a stipulated period after taking delivery of the goods, which gives them more options for paying taxes in time. ③ After the security deposit is filed with a customs office, enterprises may pay the consolidated tax to any Chinese customs offices. After the general guarantee of taxation is files by the customs of the customs functional department directly under the place where the enterprise is registered, it can be used by the customs directly under the whole country as the beneficiary of the general guarantee. ④ The enterprises' security deposits will be returned or reused automatically after the tax is paid. Customs has a consolidated tax collection system that can intelligently manage enterprises' security deposits. When an enterprise makes a customs declaration for imported goods, the import duty is automatically deducted from the security deposit. After the enterprise pays the duty, the deposit is automatically returned.
