报关并非简单的向海关官员递单送审。一名成熟的、富有经验的报关从业者应当热爱报关工作，具有相当强的商品鉴别与归类能力，能够熟悉并合理运用海规海法，与相关人员良好沟通，同时掌握一定程度的英语。对高职高专学生而言，学习报关英语即为读懂有关英文单证、发票、合同，与外商进行简单的对话交流，这是本书出版的目的。

本书摒除了学科式的编写体例，在标题的设计、内容章节的安排和课后习题的编写方面设计情景，以行动为导向，注重结合职业教育的特点，力争为职业教育奉献精品。

本教材以报关业务为主线，以“适用、实用”为原则选取海关职能、贸易术语、租船订舱、询发盘以及进出口报关过程中所涉及的各类英文单证、发票、合同等内容，摒除了学科式的编写体例，按照职业教育的特点精心选用和组织国内外报关领域各类英语素材。本书在编写上虽独立成章、章内分节，但又章章相连、节节紧扣，构成一个有机整体。希望学生学习后能读懂有关英文单证、发票、合同，与外商进行简单对话交流，更好地掌握报关技能。

本书可作为高职高专、大专院校相关专业教学用书，也可作为相关从业人员学习参考用书。
