Customs Clearance

Customs Clearance Prepared Before the Border

Document review, tariff classification coordination and broker support before freight reaches the border.

Overview

Customs Clearance shaped around the shipment.

Our clearance coordination starts with the transaction: commodity description, origin, value, Incoterm, importer or exporter details and supporting permits where applicable.

We review information for completeness and coordinate with the appropriate customs broker. Final classification, valuation and declarations remain subject to the responsible declarant and local regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about customs clearance.

Which documents are usually needed?

A commercial invoice, packing list and transport document are common starting points. The exact requirements depend on the goods, origin, destination, customs procedure and any regulatory controls.

Can you determine my tariff classification?

We can help gather product information and coordinate classification review, but the importer or exporter remains responsible for accurate declarations and should seek a binding ruling where certainty is needed.

When should documents be sent?

Send draft documents as early as possible, ideally before cargo dispatch. This gives the broker time to identify missing data while there is still room to correct it.
