Guide to Customs Regulations in Asia


Explore differing customs regulations in Asia for imports and exports


Separating Asian customs regulations from area to area can be arduous at best if you aren't prepared. A wide range of U.S. companies do round-the-clock business in Asia and there are a vast array of websites devoted to Vietnam customs regulations, South Korean customs regulations, Thailand customs regulations and Indonesia customs regulations as well as those of hundreds of other Asian areas and provinces. Overcome frustrations in finding area-specific Asian customs regulations with the right resources.

Seek out the following to differentiate the expanse of Asia customs regulations info:

1. Websites outlining customs regulations in China;

2. Websites focusing on area-specific Asia customs regulations as well as Dubai; and

3. Websites with downloadable travel forms and tariff info.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Adhere to Asian customs regulations by learning what goods aren't allowed out U.S. companies can buy products made in Asia cheaply and offer them to U.S. consumers for usually much less than similar products made here in the states, but shipping those products and traveling with them may be totally different. Know what you're allowed to take out of each Asian country before you encounter customs officials.

I recommend:  Consult Asia-planet.net for Asian customs lists, and VisaHQ.com for general items you need to leave out of your travel plans to follow China customs regulations.

Know area-specific customs regulations in both Asia and Dubai Dubai customs regulations vary from Indonesian customs regulations as they do from other areas of Asia like Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, and Dubai. Get area-specific customs regulations easily online.

I recommend:  VisaHQ.com's travel information proves valuable South Korea customs regulations, Vietnam customs regulations, Thailand customs regulations and Indonesia customs regulations. Dubai customs regulations are available through Dubai Online.

Gather required forms and estimate tariff rates to prepare for customs regulations in Asia No matter what Asia requires for importing and exporting, the U.S. tracks strictly what comes into the borders. Whether your journey to Asia is for business or pleasure, the transition from border to border will run smoothly with the right customs forms. Before you buy or do business, know what you'll pay in tariffs. You might think you're getting a solid deal by buying inexpensive Chinese goods to sell in the U.S., but with costly tariffs, transporting goods may not be worth it.

I recommend:  U.S. Customs and Border Protection's traveler entry forms are available for download via their website. Register and access the Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation's tariff database.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • In addition to the right customs forms to meet China customs regulations, you'll need a travel visa to travel to and from Asia. Go to www.traveldocs.com and select a destination from their menu for visa applications.
