In order to simplify customs declaration formalities for inbound/outbound goods, speed up the customs clearance, facilitate the legitimate entry and exit of enterprises, and strengthen the customs supervision, and in accordance with the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China and relevant laws and regulations, Party A has examined Party B’s compliance, credit standing and other information and allows Party B to declare the imported and exported goods to Party A within its administrative area by using the paperless customs clearance system upon Party B’s request. Party C provides Party A and Party B with the paperless customs clearance services, including the service platform, technical support, the storage, verification and offer of evidence in respect of the electronic data (e-data), and other intermediary services.

For the purpose of the Agreement, the term “paperless customs clearance” refers to the practice that Party B makes declaration for the import/export declaration form in standard format of electronic message to Party A via the network transmission through Party C. Party A’s computer system automatically handles the electronic data, and sends the electronic receipt on the examination result to Party B through Party C by means of the network transmission. Party B goes through customs clearance procedures based on the information on the receipt.

In order to solve the issues, such as the mutual recognition by Party A and Party B of the process of e-data transmission and the recorded data via the electronic network system of Party C, Party A, Party B and Party C have entered into the following agreements through consultation.

Article 1 Party A agrees that Party B uses Party C’s electronic network system to declare the imported and exported goods in the form of e-declaration form.

Party B makes the declaration to Party A in the form of e-declaration form. Party A may verify the declaration act and fact by comparing the same with the written documents as it deems necessary.

Article 2 Party B shall present the e-declaration form in the format as required, with complete, accurate, and true contents identical to those set out in paper documents.

Article 3 For the e-declaration form sent by Party B to Party A through Party C, if Party A delivers a reply of rejection to Party B after the examination thereof, Party B’s declaration will be deemed invalid. If Party A sends other replies to Party B, Party B’s declaration will be deemed valid.

Article 4 Once Party A accepts the declaration by Party B, the content of the e-declaration form shall not be modified or cancelled; where any justified cause exists, Party A will make the modification or deletion after Party A examines and approves a written application filed by Party B.

Article 5 Party C shall record the exact process and time of the e-data transmission by Party A and Party B, and ensure that any person may not change or lose the stored data. The e-data backed up and stored by Party C includes:

 (1) the e-data related to the declaration form submitted by Party B to Party A;

 (2) the e-data concerning the reply, contact list and other instructions fed back by Party A to Party B.

The e-data will be kept for 20 years.

Article 6 Party C shall take the network safety measures prevailing internationally to ensure the safety, authenticity and completeness of the e-data stored in its system, and shall not delete, modify or alter the e-data.

Party C is not liable for any loss or change of the e-data stored arising from the force majeure.

Article 7 Party A and Party B recognize that Party C is capable of judging the authenticity of the digital signature and seal used in the e-data, and of providing safe, reliable and fair service and technical authentication mechanism.

In case of any dispute between Party A and Party B over the ownership or primitiveness of the e-data, the e-data backed up or stored by Party C shall be regarded as the original data.

Article 8 The paper declaration form printed by Party B shall be in consistency with the e-declaration form stored by Party C in terms of the data. Party B shall bear the relevant legal responsibilities arising from any discrepancy between the paper declaration form and the electronic one.

Article 9 Party B may go through the customs clearance formalities by itself with Party A through Party C, or may entrust an eligible customs broker to do the same.

Where Party B entrusts a customs broker to conduct paperless customs clearance, Party B shall entrust the customs broker through the network system of Party C to make a customs declaration, and shall bear the relevant legal responsibilities arising therefrom.

Article 10 Party C shall keep party A’s work-related secrets and Party B’s business secrets confidential, and shall not provide the e-data stored to others without authorization or approval.

Party B has the right to get the e-data directly relating to its import and export activities from Party C.

Party C shall provide relevant documentary evidence in such a manner that meets the requirements for evidence at the request of Party A or Party C, to present the situation of the backup and storage of the original data.

Article 11 Party B may adopt other ways prevailing currently to make the declaration to Party A in the case of the network system default or other reasons of Party C, provided that it complies with the administrative provisions of Party A.

Article 12 Party B shall, in accordance with the law, set, prepare and keep the accounting books, accounting documents, accounting statements and other accounting information, and ensure that the aforesaid materials record and reflect the true, accurate and complete information of import and export of goods, and shall properly keep the declaration documents, import and export licenses, contracts, invoices and other information directly relating to the import and export of goods for Party A’s investigation.

Where Party B uses the computer for bookkeeping, the bookkeeping software, operation instruction and the relevant information shall be provided to Party A as required, and the computer bookkeeping system shall be available to Party A for its investigation.

Article 13 Party A may suspend the paperless customs clearance process determined herein applicable to Party B if Party B:

(2) has seriously breached the provisions on the customs supervision; or

Within one year after Parry A cancels Party B’s qualification to apply the paperless customs clearance process determined herein, Party A will not accept the application filed by Party B for the paperless customs clearance.

Article 15 The performance hereof does not exempt Party B from its other obligations and responsibilities stipulated in laws, administrative regulations, customs rules and normative documents.

Within the term hereof, any change in the laws, administrative regulations, customs rules and normative documents directly affecting the performance hereof, if any, shall govern. Party A, Party B and Party C shall timely revise the Agreement through consultation in accordance with the aforementioned provisions.
