What is Customs Clearance?
Customs clearance is a crucial process in international shipping, facilitating smooth import and export operations by ensuring compliance with regulations and laws of the destination country. It involves obtaining permission to transport goods through an authorised customs broker or agent.
Each country has its own specific customs clearance requirements, with unique quotas and regulations. Non-compliance with these requirements can lead to shipment delays or rejection, resulting in additional costs, lost business opportunities, and damage to your reputation.
Simplify your international shipping compliance with Swire Shipping’s expert custom brokerage solutions. Our network of custom brokerage specialists will guide you through complex tariff codes, taxes, customs duties, and international trade regulations, ensuring seamless and compliant goods transportation across borders.
