FAQ
Q: What is Customs Brokerage?
A: Customs brokerage is a service in which a professional logistics or customs service provider assists importers or exporters with customs declarations, document review, product classification, customs communication, and other customs clearance procedures.
Q: What is the difference between Customs Brokerage and Customs Clearance?
A: Customs clearance refers to the process of completing the required customs procedures and obtaining the release of imported or exported cargo. Customs brokerage refers more broadly to the professional service of handling or coordinating customs-related procedures on behalf of an importer or exporter, including documentation, declarations, customs communication, inspection coordination, and cargo release.
Q: Do I need a Customs Broker for international shipments?
A: Whether a customs broker is required depends on the destination country's regulations, the type of cargo, the importer, and applicable customs requirements. For complex shipments or businesses that are unfamiliar with the customs requirements of a particular market, professional customs brokerage can help manage the relevant declaration and clearance procedures.
Q: Can you handle both import and export customs clearance?
A: Yes. Depending on your shipping route and trade arrangements, we can provide support for both export customs clearance and import customs clearance.

Q: Can Customs Brokerage be arranged with Air Freight?
A: Yes. For air shipments, customs brokerage can be coordinated with international air freight, destination customs clearance, and final delivery.
Q: How long does customs clearance take?
A: Customs clearance time depends on factors such as the type of cargo, destination country, completeness of documentation, product classification, customs review, and whether the shipment is selected for inspection. The expected clearance time should therefore be assessed based on the specific cargo and shipping route.
Q: What documents are required for customs clearance?
A: Commonly required documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, or air waybill. Depending on the cargo and destination country, additional documents may be required, such as a certificate of origin, import or export licenses, product certifications, or inspection documents.
Q: What happens if my shipment is selected for customs inspection?
A: If a shipment is selected for customs inspection, we can assist with understanding the relevant requirements, preparing additional documentation, coordinating the inspection process, and following up on cargo release. The final inspection and release decisions are made by the relevant customs authorities in accordance with applicable regulations.
