Choose transportation method: Choose sea or air transportation based on the quantity and urgency of the goods.
Pre review of documents: Review documents in advance, such as contracts, invoices, bills of lading, etc., to avoid declaration errors.
Submitting customs declaration forms, certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, hygiene certificates, etc.: These documents are crucial for customs declaration.
