News - Only 2 Days Left! 2025 Customs Annual Report Deadline: June 30, 2026 – Enterprises with Duty-Reduction Equipment Must File Both Reports

Urgent Reminder The deadline for submitting the 2025 Customs Annual Report is June 30, 2026 – only 2 days remain until the filing window closes. Enterprises that have duty-reduction equipment still under customs supervision must file two separate annual reports simultaneously. Failure to do so will directly affect customs clearance, corporate credit ratings, and duty-reduction-related operations, and may result in administrative penalties. Please check your filing status immediately.

Below is a reference guide to the two types of annual reports and their applicable entities:

I. Two Types of Annual Reports – Determine Which Apply to Your Company

A. Consolidated Customs Credit Annual Report (Joint Filing with Industry & Commerce + Customs)

✔ Who Must File (meeting any one of the following):

Import/export consignees/consignors or customs brokers registered with Customs (including sole proprietorships and agricultural cooperatives);
Processing trade manufacturers;
Foreign-invested enterprises (which also submit commerce and foreign exchange annual information simultaneously).

X Exemption:

Enterprises newly registered with Customs in 2026 are not required to file the Consolidated Annual Report for that year; filing begins the following year.

Special Note:

The above exemption applies only to the Consolidated Annual Report. If a newly registered enterprise in 2026 imports duty-reduction equipment in that same year, the “Duty-Reduction Special Annual Report” is not required until 2027 (as it reports the previous year’s equipment usage status). The filing obligations for the two reports are independent – please do not confuse them.

Filing Channels

Nationwide: National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System – www.gsxt.gov.cn
Shenzhen-exclusive: Official Annual Reporting Platform of Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau.

B. Duty-Reduction Goods Usage Status Report (Special Annual Report for Duty-Reduction Equipment)

✔ Sole Filing Condition:

The enterprise had duty-reduction equipment still within the customs supervision period during the 2025 calendar year.

Supervision Periods by Equipment Type (counted from the date of import release):

Vessels and aircraft: 8 years
Motor vehicles: 6 years
Machinery and other equipment: 3 years

Example: Duty-reduction equipment imported in January 2022 with a 3-year supervision period must be reported in the Special Annual Report for each year from 2023 through 2026.

II. Simple Online Filing Process for the Duty-Reduction Special Annual Report

Log in to the Single Window Standard Edition, navigate to 【Business Applications】 → 【Port Law Enforcement Declaration】 → 【Goods Declaration】 → 【Duty-Reduction Follow-up】.

Select 【Duty-Reduction Follow-up Application (New)】 → 【Annual Report Management Application】; fill in details regarding equipment usage, storage, pledges/transfers, company changes, etc.

Upload a scanned copy of the sealed Duty-Reduction Goods Usage Status Report.

Review and submit, then track the customs review status online.

III. Serious Consequences of Late or Missed Filing

1. Failure to File the Consolidated Customs Credit Annual Report

The enterprise will be listed in the Customs Credit Abnormality Publicity List;
Credit rating cannot be upgraded, and applications for credit restoration will be rejected;
Negative impacts on credit facilities, bidding, and government projects.

2. Failure to File the Duty-Reduction Special Annual Report

Customs will suspend all duty-reduction review and duty guarantee applications for the enterprise;
Import of new equipment and disposal of existing equipment will be blocked.

3. Severe Penalties for Extended Delays

Delays exceeding 30 days may result in customs blocking customs clearance authority and suspending all customs business;
Serious violations may incur administrative fines, increasing compliance costs.

IV. Filing Tips

File early to avoid system congestion – near the deadline, systems tend to slow down. Allow ample time for corrections if issues arise.
The annual filing is completely free – any paid agency offering to file on your behalf is a scam.
For questions, call the Customs Hotline: 12360.
Both reports are mandatory and independent – if your enterprise has duty-reduction equipment under supervision, you must complete both filings

The filing portal will close at 24:00 on June 30 – no grace period will be given.

Finance and customs compliance officers are requested to immediately verify your equipment supervision periods and complete both the Consolidated Customs Credit Annual Report and the Duty-Reduction Special Annual Report – protect your customs credit rating and avoid operational disruptions!
