Customs & Compliance
What is Customs Clearance?
The process of getting goods approved to enter or leave a country.
Customs clearance is the procedure of presenting documents and declarations so customs authorities permit goods to enter (import) or leave (export) a country. It covers classification, valuation, duty and tax payment, and any required permits or inspections. Delays here are a leading cause of supply-chain disruption.
