What does the Article mean in plain language?
The import declaration connects to customs declaration and release.

This differs from periodic local-production filing; one does not automatically fulfil the other.
Separates imports from local production because their procedures differ.
Reconcile customs declaration, invoice, quantities, classification and suspension treatment.
How can this rule appear in practice?
An importer without local production follows shipment tax through customs evidence rather than an invented production route.
