China Customs Statistics (CCS) comprises all
merchandises passing through ChineseCustomsTerritory and provides
the basic information on China's external trade performance.
CCS is compiled from the declarations submitted to the
Customs by importers or exporters. The declarations are verified
by Customs officers at entry ports and forwarded electronically
through Customs Automation Entry System to relevant Customs
Districts for further examination and clearance. Data elements
for compiling trade statistics are extracted and verified
by the statistical offices, and afterwards transmitted on
line from all Customs districts to the computer center of
CGA on a monthly basis. The statistical elements taken from
declarations include: commodity code and description; quantity;
value; partner country (origin, final destination, consignment);
type of customs regimes; type of enterprises; individual importer
or exporter; domestic destination for imports; places of production
for exports; customs district of clearance; mode of transport.
