[Content Summary] With the rapid development of China's economy and a significant increase in foreign trade, China's total import and export volume ranked third in the world in 2004. Throughout the year, the Customs General Administration settled 36.45 million import and export declaration forms. Correspondingly, the ranks of customs declaration practitioners have been expanding, with over 80,000 registered customs declaration officers at present. Customs declaration has become an emerging and highly sought-after career choice. The overall quality of the customs declaration workforce directly affects the administrative efficiency of the Customs, the speed of import and export clearance, and the order of foreign trade. In accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China," which stipulates that "customs declaration personnel must legally obtain the qualification for customs declaration practice," the Customs General Administration implements a national unified examination system for customs declaration qualification. The examination assesses the law-abiding and trustworthy nature, knowledge level, and professional competence of applicants. Chinese citizens who wish to engage in the customs declaration profession must participate in the national unified examination for customs declaration qualification and, upon passing the exam, may apply for the customs declaration qualification certificate. To ensure the scientific and fair nature of the examination, the Customs General Administration established the Examination Committee for Customs Declaration Qualification and organized the Textbook Writing Committee for the Examination to specialize in the revision of examination textbooks. This year, the textbook writing committee summarized the experience of previous customs declaration qualification examinations and widely solicited opinions from foreign trade and customs declaration practitioners. Based on the actual development of customs declaration business, the committee organized relevant industry experts into five writing groups to formulate the examination outline and write the 2005 edition of the series textbooks for the national unified examination for customs declaration qualification. The latest laws, administrative regulations, and customs business reform achievements related to foreign trade control and customs management were appropriately incorporated into the textbooks. The 2005 edition series textbooks include: "National Unified Examination Outline for Customs Declaration Qualification," "National Unified Examination Textbook for Customs Declaration Qualification," "National Unified Examination Guidance Textbook for Customs Declaration Qualification," "Import and Export Commodity Names and Codes," and "New Solutions to Examination Questions for the National Unified Examination for Customs Declaration Qualification from 2001 to 2004," forming a comprehensive book series. As the ancients said, "He who plans according to righteousness will surely succeed, and he who acts for the people will surely achieve." As long as the authors keep the readers in mind, their works will undoubtedly be well-received. The authors of this series of textbooks, from the perspective of what candidates should know and be able to do, have considered both the breadth of knowledge to be covered and the essential content of customs declaration practice. The five books in the series serve distinct purposes: the "Outline" guides candidates in grasping the key points of the exam, the "Textbook" focuses on imparting knowledge and skills, the "Guidance Textbook" emphasizes clarifying doubts and solving problems, the "Codes" serve as a reference tool for the exam, and the "New Solutions" help candidates familiarize themselves with exam question types and summarize problem-solving techniques.
