​China ’s 24 hour Advanced Manifest Regulation – Data Elements

 

Further to our previous announcement on the China’s new 24 hour Advanced Manifest Regulation, below are further details about the data elements required by China Customs for shipments imported to China (except Hong Kong and Macau).

Data Elements

There are two kinds of data elements required by customs, namely “main” and “other” data elements.

I. Main Data elements have to be submitted by the carrier to customs 24 hours before cargo loading. Other Data Elements must be submitted before the vessel arrives at its destination.

II. “Mandatory” and “Conditional” data elements.  “Mandatory” main and other data elements have to be submitted to China customs for all shipments, while “Conditional” main and other data elements are required only when the shipments fall under defined criteria, (e.g., the Transshipment place has to be declared only if transshipment occurs).

For easy identification, we have classified the Data Elements into different categories:

A. Standard Information – Data elements that remain the same at regional levels and independent from individual shipment information.
