It usually takes one to two weeks, or even longer, to obtain the customs clearance documents for motorcycles. Here is some relevant information: 1. Meaning of customs clearance documents: The shipping order is a document issued by the shipping company that accepts the shipper's loading application, instructing the captain to load the goods. It serves as the basis for loading and is the document used by the cargo owner to complete export customs declaration procedures, also known as the customs clearance document. Generally, some domestic motorcycle manufacturers have distributors in various prefecture-level cities, with complete procedures and invoices. Buyers just need to pay attention when purchasing. Imported motorcycles are categorized into large trade vehicles, small trade vehicles, and parallel import vehicles, etc. Large trade vehicles mainly refer to models with complete customs clearance documents, tax receipts, and warranty procedures, while small trade vehicles are those with certain tax discounts and limited quotas. 2. Customs declaration: The entire customs declaration process is divided into three stages: declaration, inspection, and release. The deadline for export goods declaration is 24 hours before loading. For goods that do not require taxation or inspection, customs clearance procedures are completed within one day from the acceptance of the declaration. Generally, release can be done in one day, but if inspection is required, the actual inspection situation of the goods will determine the time. Before customs declaration, containers are placed at the port terminal under customs supervision, and generally, declaration can only be done after the goods enter the port. Only after customs clearance and release can the goods be loaded onto the ship. Considering the transportation time, it usually takes one to two weeks, or even longer, to obtain the customs clearance documents.
