FAQ

Customs can be daunting and complex, requiring specific knowledge and resources. A customs agent can help you with fast and reliable completion of customs declarations to ensure your business remains compliant.

Customs agents submit import/export customs declarations on behalf of businesses and facilitate the payment of customs duty, excise duty, etc.

Customs clearance is a compulsory process for all goods entering or leaving a customs territory. Customs clearance ensures any due charges and correct documentation has been supplied in conformity to local law. It also allows customs to monitor which goods are coming into or leaving a country.

The customs clearance process can vary from shipment to shipment and is dependent on the goods entering a country. Certain products may need additional documentation checks or a physical examination to ensure that declarations are correct.

Customs clearance is a process a parcel undergoes once it arrives in a country. Customs cleared means your parcel has undergone the necessary customs inspections, and the duties and taxes have been calculated and paid. The international shipment is then free and clear to move on to its next destination.

A customs broker will guide you through the customs declaration process. They take care of cargo clearance with the port/airports and operate on your behalf with any border agencies where inspections or documentary checks are required.

A freight forwarder will arrange for your goods to be transported from one country to another and typically provides other services (such as customs clearance). Customs agents and brokers ensure that your goods can be cleared through customs enroute to the final place of delivery.

Customs agents and customs brokers fulfil a similar role and the terms are often used interchangeably.

Customs transit is a customs procedure used to move goods between two points of a customs territory, via another customs territory or between two or more different customs territories.
