Customs Declaration API

The Customs Declaration API allows merchants to report cross-border eCommerce transactions to customs authorities via Alipay or WeChat. This process is required in certain jurisdictions to:
  • Comply with cross-border trade regulations
  • Enable customs clearance
  • Prevent shipment delays
  • Ensure payment and goods release alignment
Customs declaration must be performed after a successful payment.

When to Use

Use this API when:
  • The payment is cross-border
  • Customs reporting is legally required
  • The payment was completed successfully (respcd = 0000)
  • The transaction involves Alipay or WeChat
The QFPay Transaction ID (syssn) used here refers to the payment ID, not a refund ID.

Integration Notes

Customs declaration must only be submitted after a successful payment (respcd = 0000). Submitting before payment confirmation may cause rejection.
  • Use the payment ID (syssn), not refund ID.
  • Store verify_department_trade_id for reconciliation.
  • For WeChat, split declarations must ensure order_fee = product_fee + transport_fee.
  • For Alipay, ensure mch_customs_name matches your registered customs record.
  • If 1143 / 1145 is returned, query status instead of immediately retrying.
  • Customs declaration rules vary by jurisdiction. Confirm compliance requirements before go-live.
