When cargo arrives from overseas by ship or plane, before the customs clearance it is handled as foreign cargo and gets temporarily stored in a bonded area at a port or an airport. In order to handle this foreign cargo as domestic circulation cargo, an import declaration is required to be submitted to the customs authorities which have jurisdiction over the bonded area where the cargo is kept.
During the import declaration procedure, the names of items, their quantity, prices, etc. are confirmed using the cargo documents (C/INVOICE, P/L, B/L, etc.), the contents are checked, classified and once the declaration form is created, the import declaration procedure is completed (tax filing method). If necessary, cargo inspections by the customs will be conducted.
(Tax number, confirmation of cargo, confirmation of conflicts with other laws and regulations, confirmation regarding goods prohibited for import, etc.).
In addition, in case customs duties are required by the Customs Act and the Customs Tariffs Act, etc., the import will be permitted by paying them together with the consumption tax which is necessarily required by the Consumption Tax Law.
