Guidelines for CISMEF 2009 Exhibits in the Customs Declaration, Inspection and Quarantine

In order to facilitate foreign exhibitors to have their exhibits undergo customs and inspection procedures smoothly, in accordance with "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws, regulations and provisions, Guidelines for CISMEF 2009 exhibits in the customs declaration, inspection and quarantine were constructed for the exhibitors as references.

1. Import exhibits clearance process

According to customs regulations, imported exhibits should be re-exported within 6 months after the date of entry, therefore the exhibits customs declaration include two processes, namely import and re-export. Exhibits customs declaration should be conducted by the owner of the exhibit or his authorized proxy.

1) The import process
Import inspection and quarantine declaration of the exhibits 每 approved by Inspection and Quarantine Bureau - import customs declaration of the exhibits 每 checked at the Customs

2) Re-export process
Re-export customs declaration of the exhibits- Checked and sealed at the Customs - the release and write-off of exhibits,
Certain commodities (especially food) may take longer to go through customs and inspection procedures, so early declaration and inspection are recommended. Exhibits should go through the standard declaration procedure, and please do not take the exhibits as your carry-on baggage or mail them, which may cause the exhibits to be detained at the customs thus losing the access to exhibitions.
