Documentation & Customs Clearance

When you decide to expand your business beyond the borders of your country, you have to take your goods through the customs clearance process. This process is handled by the Customs Department of your country and the receiving country.

The government authorizes the customs department to implement policies relating to import and export. These policies differ based on country, and as someone looking to move goods across borders, it would help if you familiarize yourself with your country’s international trade policies.

When cargo enters a country, it is warehoused in an area under customs jurisdiction to await clearance, after which it is released.
