Stage 2:

Business declaration form: unified business appr oval documents for daily entry and exit areas, with specific categories including distribution of centralized reports, outward processing, bonded display transactions, equipment testing, equipment maintenance, outward distribution of molds, simple processing and other daily entry and exit areas. The declaration form needs to be filed, changed and closed, and the guarantee amount can be dynamically controlled during the actual entry and exit of goods.

Summary and Solution of Difficult Problems

How to switch to Golden Gate II?

Write off the original account book, establish a new account book in Golden Gate II, and complete the filing of finished materials in Golden Gate II. The remaining materials in the original account book are carried forward to Golden Gate II account book. (Carry forward the import surplus materials for customs declaration, return the old account books for shipment, and declare the import of the new account books)

What is the difference between Delegation Authorization and Processing Trade Authorization

Entrusted authorization is developed for Golden Gate II processing trade system, and is used for the authority management system of inter-enterprise agent filing and customs declaration. Processing trade authorization is an authority management system used for H2010 account books and handbooks and for agency filing and customs declaration.

Entrusted authorization is based on an enterprise as a unit, while trade authorization is based on a single account book or manual. The authority of both cannot be used universally.

At present, there is no limit on the number of items in the bonded write off checklist, but each declaration form has only 50 items at most. Can one bonded checklist generate more than one declaration form?

According to the current setup of Golden Gate II system, a bonded checklist can only correspond to one customs declaration form. When entering the system, the system will merge each list entered. If there is too much data entered into the list and more than one declaration form is generated, the system will prompt you if it is exceeded. When importing, enterprises are required to control the number of items in the list.

It involves many issues such as raw materials, food additives, nutrition enhancers and so on, and requires systematic study and research.

Once the food ingredients are used incorrectly, it is very likely to constitute ten times compensation.
