Customs declaration is simply understood as declaring goods to the customs, whose competent authority is the customs; The straightforward understanding of inspection application is to declare goods to the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, whose competent authority is the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. Now the Customs and the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau have been merged. The application for inspection is prior to the customs declaration. The customs will accept the application for customs declaration only after the commodity inspection department has completed the inspection and confirmed that there is no error, and then the customs will review the documents, levy taxes, release and other measures. 3. The documents provided are different. In addition, not all goods need to be submitted for inspection. Customs declaration and inspection request are two mutually independent phases, which will not affect the other because there is no operation on either phase. However, in the actual import and export, if it is clearly specified that inspection is required, the application will generally be completed at the same time to avoid deviation.
