Custom clearance is a necessary step in the timely delivery of every export and import shipment. It is also where most delays are created, and where most of them can be avoided. We treat the paperwork as part of the shipment rather than as an afterthought.
Getting the classification and the declared value right the first time costs nothing. Correcting them later costs time, demurrage and often duty. That is the whole argument for having the entry prepared by the same team that booked the freight.
Whatever the commodity, the entry is prepared against the correct classification and the supporting documents it actually requires.
Export clearance at origin and import clearance at destination, coordinated so the two do not contradict each other.
Getting the HS code and declared value right the first time, because a correction later costs time and money.
When customs raises a query, someone who knows the shipment responds — not a call centre.
A clean, consistent entry with the right supporting documents is the single best defence against a hold.
The HS code drives the duty rate and any restrictions, so it is worth getting right before the goods sail.
One team means the entry matches the bill of lading and the invoice, because the same people prepared all three.
Containers sitting at the port accrue charges daily. Keeping the entry moving is cheaper than any claim.
Declared value has to stand up to scrutiny. We will tell you what supports it before it is filed.
When a query lands, you speak to the person who knows the shipment, not a queue.
Commercial invoice, packing list, and the transport document, plus any licences or certificates the commodity requires. We will tell you exactly what applies to your goods before the shipment moves.
The HS classification, the declared value and the country of origin, plus any trade agreement that applies. Get those three right and the duty figure follows.
We respond with the supporting evidence and keep you informed. Because we hold the whole file, the answer usually goes back the same day.
Yes. Customs clearance can be arranged on its own, without the freight leg being ours.
Often a matter of hours when the documents are in order, and considerably longer when they are not. That is why we prepare them alongside the booking.
If another service fits it better we will say so — including when the answer is that you do not need us at all.
