Features: After China's entry into the WTO, the government has earnestly fulfilled its commitments. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the General Administration of Customs, and other relevant departments have revised and abolished a number of regulations in accordance with international practices and WTO rules, and have newly adjusted and published a series of management systems. We have tracked regulatory changes and re-edited this book to form the new edition of Customs Clearance Practice after China's entry into the WTO. The new edition of Customs Clearance Practice has made significant modifications while retaining the original effective content, with over two-thirds of the content being newly revised. Based on the actual needs of import and export enterprises in customs clearance, it has added a series of national foreign trade management systems newly adjusted and published by China in accordance with WTO-related principles, the newly introduced tax structure and customs valuation rules, the origin rules applicable to preferential tariffs, and the 2002 version of the HS commodity classification system, which is implemented in sync with the world's customs. It includes the new Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue, the Catalogue of Import and Export Licensing Goods, and the import tariff schedules for entry items. It also supplements the introduction of cross-regional rapid customs clearance and convenient customs clearance measures for large high-tech enterprises, introduced by the customs in deepening the reform of customs clearance operations, the port electronic law enforcement system, and the electronic account book linkage, filing, and verification subsystems for export processing zones that are already in operation, as well as the ATA Carnet verification subsystem. This book revolves around customs clearance operations, comprehensively introduces the current newest laws and regulations, and provides a detailed explanation of various customs clearance regulations and procedures, with a focus on practical customs declaration operations. Its content is rich and practical, making it an essential reference for understanding China's modern customs system and efficient customs clearance.
