Customs clearance time can vary depending on the different types of declaration. Generally speaking, as for the procedure from accepting declaration documents to releasing goods, the following lead time applies:
– Half an hour for inbound registration;
– 20 minutes for outbound registration;
– 10 minutes for deemed export;
– Less than one working day for deemed import not involving duty payment;
– Less than one working day after the duty settlement for deemed import involving duty payment.
(The above time doesn’t include the time for customs inspection.)
