In international trade, inconsistencies between the country of actual export and the country of exchange are more common: Here are some guidelines for dealing with this situation:
a) Completion of recommendations
- The recipient (Consignee)
- Fill out the information of the actual recipient, i.e. the recipient of the final destination country.
- Countries of Trade:
- This country refers to the country where the final buyer is, i.e. the country with which you enter into the contract and pay.
- Country of Destination:
- Fill out the country in which the goods actually arrive, i.e. the country in which the goods are finally received.
- Port of Discharge:
- Fill in the name of the country and port where the actual port of discharge is located.
Methods for Bank Review
- Preparation of documents:
- Contract (showing buyer information from the country of payment)
- Invoice (showing buyer information from the country of payment)
- Customs declaration (showing information about the actual recipient and country of trade)
- List (showing the actual port of destination)
- Explanation is explained:
- Explain to banks that this is a tripartite trade case and provide relevant documentation, such as contracts, invoices, etc., to prove the rationality of the cash flow and goods logistics.
- Communication with the bank:
- Communicate with the bank in advance to understand what specific documents need to be provided and the specific requirements of the bank. Explain the trade process clearly and ensure that the bank understands and accepts the specifics of tripartite trade.
Specific operational steps
- Contact with the bank:
- Before starting customs, contact your bank, tell them it is a tripartite trade, and ask what documents are needed to prove the legitimacy of the cash flow and goods logistics.
- During the Customs:
- Consignee: Fill out the final recipient information
- Country of Trade: Fill out country of exchange
- Country of Destination: Fill out the actual country of receipt
- Port of Discharge: Fill out the actual port of discharge
- Provision of proof documents:
- Providing relevant documents to the bank, including contracts, invoices, customs statements, bills, etc., if necessary, accompanied by written explanations to explain the specific circumstances of tripartite trade.
Common Problems and Solutions
- Banks are required to submit customs statements:
- Provide a copy of the tariff declaration and explain the reasons for the discrepancies between the country of trade and the country of receipt on the tariff declaration.
- Banks require cash flow and goods flow to be consistent:
- Provide detailed tripartite trade agreements and related documents to ensure the rationality and consistency of all documents, and provide lawyer advice if necessary.
c) Reference to practical cases
- Countries of trade and shipment:
- Our customers typically fill out the country of trade as the country of exchange on the customs declaration and the country of arrival as the country of actual receipt, thus clearly showing the actual situation of the flow of funds and goods in the customs declaration.
- Treatment of banks:
- Some banks may require additional documentation to explain the various aspects of the trading process and provide supporting documents (such as contracts, invoices, receipts, etc.) to demonstrate the consistency of cash flows and goods logistics.
Summary
In international trade, when the actual country of export and the country of exchange are inconsistent, the tariff declaration can be filled in as recommended above, while preparing the relevant documentation andining good communication with the bank to ensure that the trade proceeds smoothly. If you encounter special circumstances or the bank has special requirements, communicate with the bank in a timely manner, providing the necessary additional instructions and documents to meet its review requirements.
