There is no substantial difference between the two, except that some products that need to be imported and exported need to go through relevant product procedures, one of which includes intellectual property rights, that is, the trademark registration certificate of the brand.

Customs filing: It means that the obligee requests the Customs to protect its intellectual property rights, and informs the General Administration of Customs in written form of the legal status of its intellectual property rights, the related goods, the legal use of intellectual property rights and the import and export of infringing goods, so that the Customs can take the initiative to protect the related intellectual property rights during the supervision of import and export goods. According to the Regulations on Customs Protection of Intellectual Property Rights revised in June, 5438+February, 2003, the filing of intellectual property rights is no longer a prerequisite for customs protection of intellectual property rights, and the obligee who has not filed intellectual property rights still has the right to apply to the port customs for detaining the imported and exported infringing goods. However, whether intellectual property rights are filed in advance is very different in practice.

Trademark registration: refers to applying for approval and registration through the Trademark Office and issuing a certificate of approval and registration, which is protected by the Trademark Law.
