About 3 weeks later, I received a letter from EMS informing me of customs clearance. Following the EMS customs clearance guide, I completed the declaration online and waited for the result of the declaration. "Because your package contains meat products, you need to declare at the Shanghai International Parcel Declaration Point, address: No. 841, Hutai Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai." Due to the long distance, I chose to declare on Friday afternoon and filled out the form according to the process. Since I didn’t know the specific quantity of the items, I filled in "Unknown" after checking with the stuff. There are not many people in line, so it will be my turn soon. Up. After showing my ID card and notice, the staff said "Your name in the receipt information does not match the name on your ID card" "Yes, my name is in English" "Then you can't prove that you are the picker" "Yes Is there a solution?" "Yes, show the bill for your receiving phone number". I hurried to check and found that the corresponding recipient on my bill was a company and did not have my name. I could not prove my identity. What should I do?
"Then you won't be able to pick up the item today. You have to provide these information and you can take a photo." She showed me a piece of paper.
"Should I ask my colleague to help me send it right now?"
"No, the original red seal is required"
"Oh......"
On another Friday, I prepared the documents well: business license with official seal, proof of employment, 2 copies of ID card, came to the declaration point again, the previous process finally passed, I thought I would be able to pick up the documents soon, who knows there is still a process at the pick-up point, and I need to equalize again. After the customs staff notified me to come to the window, she pointed to a few items and said, these are meat products, you can't take them away, or the entire parcel should be returned, or you discard these items, and the others can be taken away.
"Abandon these pieces" Of course, I decisively gave up these pieces and took away all other items.
After signing the waiver agreement, the staff asked me to go to another window to wait for the pickup. There were also many people in line at this window. After waiting for about 20 minutes, I finally managed to retrieve the greetings from my friends far away.
Before leaving, I thought of a question. I went to the window and asked the customs staff, "What if I buy medicine from abroad? Can I take it away?" "It is okay to buy medicine from abroad, but only the amount for personal use, and neurological drugs are not allowed" "Ok, thank you."
Seeing the gift sent by the customer, I felt so warm. This was a gift that had come over thousands of miles and thousands of rivers and rivers, and it was from the customer's heart. At the same time, I also sorted out this experience. I hope that next time someone encounters the same problem, they can make preparations in advance, so as not to have a trip in vain like me. At the same time, this reminded us that when sending things to customers in the future, we must fill in the recipient and phone number corresponding to the passport.
Finally, simply sort out the key points of personal international import parcel customs clearance:
Receiving information
For ordinary goods, there is no need for on-site customs clearance, and it can be operated online with mobile phones. If it contains food or medicine, it needs to go to the on-site customs clearance.
