What are Customs Clearances?
Customs clearance is the process of getting your goods through customs. In order to get your shipment cleared by the customs authority, you will need to submit certain documents and pay any applicable duties and taxes.
The first step in getting your goods cleared is to make sure that you have all of the required documentation. The documents you will need will vary depending on the type of goods you are importing and the country they are coming from. However, some common documents that may be required include a commercial invoice, bill of lading, and packing list.
Once you have gathered all of the necessary documentation, you will need to submit it to the customs authority along with any applicable duties and taxes. The payment of duties and taxes can usually be done online or at the port of entry. Once everything has been paid, the customs authority will issue a release for your shipment which will allow it to be delivered to its final destination.
