Step 1: Declaration

If it is your own company, you need to fill in the declaration form list to the pilot platform and submit relevant freight and commercial documents. After that, the domestic customs will review the information. After passing the review, it will be stamped. After that, AliExpress sellers can transport their goods overseas; if you want to pick up the goods later, you need to use the document as a voucher.

In addition to the customs declaration documents, sellers must also prepare the following documents: ocean import bill of lading; ocean export bill of lading; land and air waybills; goods invoices; goods packing lists, certificates of origin, order cards, etc., and submit them according to the requirements of the customs.

Step 2: Goods inspection

After that, you need to wait for the customs to inspect the exported goods, mainly to confirm whether the goods are consistent with the declared product content, whether there is any omission, misreporting, or whether it is legal; confirm that the goods are consistent and legal, then they can be transported overseas.

When the customs inspects the goods, they will unpack and inspect the goods, so the consignor, agent, etc. are required to be present, mainly as witnesses to ensure that the goods are OK.

Step 3: Release of goods

After the customs has reviewed the documents of the exported goods and inspected the goods, and confirmed that there are no problems, and the sellers on AliExpress have completed the procedures for collecting taxes and fees or exemptions on goods, the customs will stamp the release stamp, and you can pick up your own goods, package them and transport them to overseas destinations.

No matter which platform you are on, as long as you are a seller of cross-border e-commerce, if your products are to be shipped overseas, you must go through the customs declaration process, otherwise the products cannot be exported, and you naturally cannot complete the order, and you can't do it.

Now there are also many logistics companies that support the customs declaration and customs clearance operations for AliExpress sellers, and the efficiency is also very high. So if you don't understand this process, you can go to some relevant institutions to prepare the corresponding customs declaration documents as required.

This is the end of the introduction to the customs clearance process on AliExpress. If you are also doing business on other platforms, you can also refer to the customs clearance process above. They are all similar. The most important thing for sellers is to prepare the corresponding customs clearance materials and product compliance according to the requirements of the customs. In this way, there will basically be no problems and it will be easier to release the goods, allowing your AliExpress store to operate better.
