What is the process for customs clearance?

The process for customs clearance involves submitting all necessary documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and any required permits or licenses. Once the documentation is reviewed and approved by customs officials, duties and taxes are assessed. The shipment is then physically inspected if necessary, and may be held for further examination. Once all requirements are met and payments are made, the goods are released and can continue on to their final destination. It is important to work with a reputable customs broker or freight forwarder to ensure a smooth and efficient clearance process.
