How to view the import declaration certificate (how to check the tariff rate)
When customs clearance is completed, the customs office issues an export declaration certificate in case of export and an import declaration certificate in case of import. Export declaration certificates are called ‘export licenses’ in practice, and import declaration certificates are called ‘import licenses’. The import permit is in 1/1 or 1/2 format depending on the number of pages, and the number of pages increases if there are many items.
If you look closely at the import permit, there is a number for each content, which is an explanation of the number. 수입신고필증 조회
