Features: The series is directly aimed at the following three types of readers:
1. Individuals, enterprises, institutions, and organizations both within and outside China who need to handle customs affairs within China;
2. People from all walks of life who wish to understand China's customs, especially young people aspiring to join the customs civil service;
3. Current and former customs officers within the customs system.
The series has three main features:
1. Each volume is based on the current laws, regulations, rules, and officially published normative documents of the customs. The authors list the titles, issuing authorities, document numbers, and effective dates of the laws and regulations cited at the beginning of each chapter. Relevant legal provisions are quoted where necessary, and the original texts of related regulations are appended at the end. Some volumes also highlight essential methods, important reminders, and general knowledge that readers must master.
2. Building on a comprehensive understanding of relevant content scattered across various laws and regulations, the authors use a "simple, clear, and practical" writing style to provide detailed interpretations of the current operations of China's customs affairs, systematically introduce the services provided by customs to society, and cover the basic knowledge of customs management that the public needs to understand. The focus is on explaining the procedures, steps, channels, and methods for handling various customs affairs, with reminders of important considerations during the process.
3. The language is concise, straightforward, and lively, making the content easy to read, understand, and comprehend. To avoid the monotony often complained about by readers, the entire series is carefully arranged with case studies, cartoons, and illustrations, blending knowledge with entertainment. The design is visually appealing, and the reading experience is engaging.
