POST /aps/api/v1/customs/declare

The declare API is used by the Acquiring Service Provider (ACQP) to send a customs declaration request to Alipay+. Currently, only for payments that are processed by the AlipayCN wallet, declarations are required.

Note: In the following sections, Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) is also known as Payment Service Provider. For example, the pspId parameter specifies the ID that identifies an MPP.

Payment information retransmission

Currently, the digital wallet that requires customs declaration is only AlipayCN, and for payments made with AlipayCN, you can change the information of a declared payment and submit it again by using the declare API.

The retransmission function can be used if:

  • the payment data is missing in the customs system; or
  • the previous declaration data contains the wrong information, including but not limited to the values of merchantCustomsInfo.merchantCustomsCode, merchantCustomsInfo.merchantCustomsName and customsInfo.customsCode.

The declarationAmount in the retransmitted request is not stacked in the total amount of the customs declaration, but replaces the previous amount.

Retransmission conditions

All declarations can be retried. Before retransmitting the request, make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • The declaration with the same customsDeclarationRequestId exists in the Alipay+ system.
  • More than 5 minutes have passed since the last API call. (Alipay+ might adjust this time value according to the actual situation.)
  • All information must be the same as that of the original request, except the values of the following paramerters:
    • merchantCustomsCode
    • merchantCustomsName
    • customsCode
    • declarationAmount
  • If declarationAmount has changed, the new accumulated 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 is changed, Alipay+ returns idempotent success.
  • If retransmission conditions are not met but one or more parameter values are changed, Alipay+ returns REPEAT_REQ_INCONSISTENT or other error codes.
  • If retransmission conditions are met and retransmission is successful, the response is the same as what was returned for the first successful transmission.
