Import Customs Clearance

Import customs clearance is a necessary procedure before goods can be imported internationally. After customs clearance, goods are in free circulation and can be handled accordingly.

You can make and submit an import declaration yourself or through a logistics partner, but this process can be complicated.

Firstly, although customs authorities within the EU are united in trade agreements, they still have different electronic platforms for creating and submitting import declarations. With a network of 1700+ experts across Europe here at Customs Support, we are well-versed within the reach of authorities and their unique requirements.

Secondly, changes in laws and regulations can be time-consuming to keep track of and can lead to errors. This complexity can result in delays and heavy fines. So, why risk it when we can empower your import customs clearance today?

Simply put, the import broker clears goods on behalf of the importer. Customs procedures can be complex. Laws and regulations are constantly evolving and changing. Each change can have significant implications for your operation. Our customs experts make sure your goods cross borders on time and with the correct documents.

The price of an import declaration depends among others on:

• The complexity of the declaration
• The frequency of the shipments
• The number of different products (HS codes)
