Customs Clearance: How to Do It Properly

C:\Users\louise.l\Downloads\shutterstock_299049458.jpg

A big challenge for importers will always be clearing customs for their products. Sending or receiving goods to or from another country can be a problem. Every country has its own customs and rules. In their basic sense, customs are a mix of preparing the necessary paperwork for import and export and knowing the local law and guidelines of the country. All this can be scary for people who have no idea how the system works.

If you want to be on the safe side, a licensed customs broker can do all the hard work for you. These customs brokers help your goods meet all the requirements set by the country. This includes preparing and submitting all necessary documents and payments to the relevant agencies involved. But what exactly do you need to do to pass customs?

Check local rules and regulations

Regulations change in every country. Sometimes, they vary per port. You have to be sure of all the provisions, restrictions, and prohibited goods before you start shipping your items. The last thing that you want is your items being held in customs—warehouse and storage fees stacking up every day. It could even be worse. Your items could be shipped back to the country of origin.

Payments and penalties also differ in every country. In one country you might pay only a few dollars as payment; in another, it might be hundreds or even thousands. Hence, it is best to check and review the different countries’ rules before you start importing and exporting.

Prepare official documentation

There is an enormous pile of paperwork involved in international trade. If you want to avoid hold-ups or delays at the border, you have to provide the correct and detailed information required by the different agencies. This includes your information or the business’ information, detailed list of shipment, and estimated value of the cargo. It is with your supplied information that customs authorities will classify, process, and approve or disapprove your shipment. Any inaccurate information supplied by the shipper will raise suspicion and hold your items for further inspection.

Be ready for duties and taxes

When your shipment is ready for transport, you should be ready to pay the necessary duties and taxes. Duties and taxes vary by destination and the value of the cargo involved. With some items, you may not even have to pay certain fees at all. But again, this can vary.

Get a customs broker or customs clearance agent. They can get an accurate amount for payable duties and even find possible tax exemptions. Clearing customs can be difficult to understand and follow. But if you look at it from a simpler point of view, it is almost similar to the procedures and processes of your local post office.

With time, you will be able to deal with customs with ease. You might even work through it like it was part of your routine. But if you are still struggling with the process, you can ask your local agency for more information or find a professional to help you out.
