Article 11 of China's Customs Law stipulates: "Persons who have not obtained the qualification for customs declaration according to law shall not engage in customs declaration business." The law defines the qualification system for engaging in customs declaration. The form of obtaining the professional qualification of customs declarers is to pass the national unified examination for the qualification of customs declarers organized by the General Administration of Customs and obtain the qualification certificate of customs declarers.
In addition, obtaining the qualification certificate of customs broker is only a necessary condition for engaging in the work of customs broker. Customs declarers are not freelancers, but serve enterprises. A declarant must be employed by an enterprise and registered with the customs engaged in customs declaration before he can receive the certificate of declarant.
China's economic level is still in the development stage in the world, and there is still a lot of room for growth in international trade. This growth space is also the demand space of customs declarers (not necessarily the year-on-year growth). In recent years, the General Administration of Customs has been tracking the growth rate of qualified customs declarers (basically 1 1000 or 2000 per year), striving to ensure demand and orderly competition.
For individual customs declarers, with China's entry into WTO and the improvement of laws and regulations, the international trade order is more standardized, and the quality requirements for customs declarers are gradually improved. It is precisely because the quality of customs declarers still has a lot of room for improvement, and it also creates room for improvement for the treatment of customs declarers. Therefore, if the declarant can continuously improve the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills, then his career development prospects are very broad.
