报关是指货物、行李和邮递物品、运输工具等在进出口关境或国境时由所有人或其代理人向海关申报，交验规定的单据、证件，请求海关办理进出口的有关手续。我国海关规定报关时应交纳的单据、证件有：进出口货物报关单、进出口货物许可证、商品检验证书、动植物检疫证书、食品卫生检验证书以及提货单、装货单、运单、发票、装箱单等。清关

清关/结关是指进口货物、出口货物和转运货物进入一国海关关境或国境必须向海关申报，办理海关规定的各项手续，履行各项法规规定的义务；只有在履行各项义务，办理海关申报、查验、征税、放行等手续后货物才能放行，货主或申报人才能提货。同样，载运进出口货物的各种运输工具进出境或转运，也均需向海关申报，办理海关手续，得到海关的许可。货物在清关/结关期间，不论是进口、出口或转运，都是处在海关监管之下，不准自由流通。Translation1.进出口报关2.海关官员3.国务院4.海关总署5.识别标志6.关境7.政体
