In international trade,the declaration and customs clearance of gold need to be familiar with and strictly abide by relevant regulations to ensure the smooth progress of the process.The following are some key customs clearance points and precautions:

II.Import and Export Supervision

The Peoples Bank of China is the competent department for the import and export of gold and gold products,and a permit system is implemented for the import and export of gold and gold products.
