Customs clearance is administrative process of moving goods across international borders. The goal of customs authorities is to ensure that incoming shipments comply with import regulations. Customs clearance also involves paying any duties, fees or taxes due on your goods.
Import and export regulations can be very complicated, and mistakes can cost you a lot of money. You can avoid delayed deliveries, fines or returned cargo with the help from an expert. Plus, appointing a customs agent can often be more efficient, as they already know what’s required.
What you need exactly will depend on what you’re shipping and which border your goods are crossing. The most common documents are: • Commercial invoices • Packing Lists • Bills of Lading • Certificates of Origin The customs team at AVASK can tell you exactly what you need.
