Customs control over processing trade and bond operations is a new Customs management model which means that, after getting promise from enterprises that there will be no loss of national revenue, Customs does not levy duties on their import goods but exerts control over the whole process of processing until the processed goods are re-exported.

Shanghai Customs has fully implemented a new clearance model of "preliminary Customs Clearance; release after actual checking the goods", in which e-manifests for customs declaration is accepted instead of the traditional practice of forestalling customs declaration until the arrival of goods. With this current model, the average time for Customs clearance is 2 hrs 53 min. which is an 86% improvement over the traditional method. To date, Shanghai Customs has signed the "Paperless Clearance Agreement" with 1319 companies.

The Import and Export Tariff is a tariff rate table of customs duty of the imported and exported goods dutiable or free from duty formulated, released and implemented through the legislative procedures in conformity with the national tariff policies and economic policies. It is the legal basis on which the customs levy the customs duty and is also the specific embodiment of the tariff policies of a country.
