POST /v1/customs/declare

Use this API to transmit information to customs. 

Structure

A message consists of a header and body. The following sections are focused on the body structure. For the header structure, see:

Note: Set the data type of each field (except array) as String. This means that you must use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose the field value. Examples:

  • If the data type of a field is Integer and its value is 20, set it as "20".
  • If the data type of a field is Boolean and its value is true, set it as "true".

Show child parameters

customs CustomsInfo  REQUIRED

The customs information

Show child parameters

merchantCustomsInfo MerchantCustomsInfo  REQUIRED

The merchant information that is registered in the customs system. 

Show child parameters

splitOrder Boolean  REQUIRED

The merchant can decide whether the order is split for declaration. If the value of this field is true, order splitting is allowed. If the value of this field is false, no order splitting is allowed.

suborderId String  

The suborder ID that is assigned by the merchant.

Notes: 

  • Specify this field when splitOrder is true. The suborder ID is transmitted to the customs as the order ID in the payment information when the following business scenarios occur:
    • A payment contains multiple commodities and needs to be submitted to different customs, or the customs require separate submission according to the commodities.
    • In a combined payment, a customs declaration is required for some commodities. 
    • Other situations where customs declaration needs to be split. 
  • After the order is split, ensure that the suborder ID of these two suborders is the same as the order ID in the payment information. Otherwise, the order will be rejected due to information inconsistency. 

More information:

  • Maximum length: 64 characters

buyerCertificate Certificate  

The buyer information.

Notes: 

  • Specify this field when the buyer information needs to be verified. Actually, it is recommended to provide the buyer information in this API to meet the customs declaration policy requirements and facilitate Antom to check the buyer information. Although this field is optional, it is suggested to specify this field because customs will check buyer information at random. 
  • If this field is not specified, the merchant needs to ensure that the buyer and payer information is consistent. Any inconsistency detected by customs will result in a rejected declaration. Specifying this field will reduce the risk of the order being returned.

Payment information retransmission

The declare API can be re-triggered for sending payment data to customs. Retransmission is used when:

  • The payment data is missing in the customs system.
  • The previous declaration data contains the wrong information.

Notes:

  • declarationRequestId must be the same as the original request, otherwise, it will be considered as a new request.
  • Only merchantCustomsCode, merchantCustomsName, customsPlace, declarationAmount, suborderId, and buyer can be modified in the retransmission. The retransmission's declarationAmount is not included in the total amount of the customs declaration.


Retransmission conditions

Before re-triggering the interface, make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • The declaration with the same declarationRequestId exists in the Antom system.
  • More than 5 minutes have passed since the last call. (Antom might adjust this time value according to the actual situation.)
  • Keep all information the same except the values of the following fields:
    • merchantCustomsCode
    • merchantCustomsName
    • customsCode 
    • declarationAmount
    • suborderId
    • buyerCertificate.holderName.fullName 
    • buyerCertificate.certificateNo 
  • If declarationAmount has changed, the new declaration amount cannot exceed the original total transaction amount.

Retransmission Response

The following list describes the responses under different situations:

  • If retransmission conditions are not met and none of the parameter values have changed, return idempotent success.
  • If retransmission conditions are not met but one or more parameter values have changed, the error code CONTEXT_INCONSISTENT or other error codes will be returned.
  • If retransmission conditions are met and retransmission is successful, the return value will be the same as that which was returned during the first successful transmission.
