Commodity inspection, the correct shorthand for commodity inspection, is part of the work of the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. However, industry insiders commonly refer to all inspection and quarantine of import and export goods as "commodity inspection." In this context, the meaning of commodity inspection should include: animal and plant quarantine, commodity inspection, and health quarantine—i.e., the three inspections.
All import and export goods must undergo commodity inspection, but they are not necessarily subject to statutory inspection. Statutory inspection refers to goods where the customs declaration form has a supervision condition of A (import) or B (export). These goods must provide a customs clearance form from the inspection and quarantine bureau when declaring to customs.
If there is no A or B, it is not a statutory inspection item, and a customs clearance form is not required for customs declaration.
Only goods meeting the following conditions require statutory inspection:
1. Goods listed in the catalog that are required to undergo statutory testing
2. Goods from the US, Japan, South Korea, and the EU (source: customs declarant exam website)
3. Goods with specific duty reduction or exemption certificates
4. Other goods requiring statutory inspection
Note: Only common examples are listed.
