• After filling in the online form, you will receive a QR code which will be scanned by officers after you have collected your luggage, just before you exit the airport building
• After you collect your luggage you will be guided to queue for showing the QRcode (passport is not needed at this point).
• After that you will be go to customs where the officers might ask you to put your luggage through a scanner. 
• Some travelers will have to open the luggage for inspection. If the officers will suspect or find  any violation, they will let you know right there and then.
