Provide the basic information for customs clearance.
Customs clearance of cargo is a process that requires accuracy and in-depth knowledge of the code. As part of the service, our customs broker takes on all the complexities:
Customs clearance is the performance of customs formalities necessary for the release of goods and commercial vehicles into free circulation. Simplified, it looks like this: - correctly drawn up cargo documents - pre-issued permits - a certain calculated amount of customs payments is paid in advance - a customs declaration is quickly drawn up
- Contract
- Invoice
- Packing list
- Transportation document (CMR, TIR, Bill of Lading, Railway Bill of Lading, AWB)
- Permits (if necessary)
- Total amount of customs payments
Usually, the customs clearance procedure takes up to 4 hours. However, due to the specifics of the goods and/or if the customs authority's Risk System is triggered, customs clearance may be extended for the duration of the customs formalities.
Yes. Even with the specifics of customs clearance of goods, by contacting the Customs Broker in advance to check the shipping documents and correct any errors and inaccuracies, the customs authority does not wait for the documents to be corrected and, as a result, has no reason to obtain additional time for customs clearance. Obtaining authorization documents in advance also reduces the time for customs clearance.
If the Client's documents are in order and the goods are delivered in accordance with national and international legislation, and the customs authority issues a Decision on revision of the customs value of the Client's goods, which entails an increase in customs payments, our advice is to provide the customs authority with the maximum number of supporting documents within the framework of customs legislation to confirm the level of customs value during customs clearance. If the customs authority disregards this and still issues a Decision on the revision of the customs value, it is necessary to appeal to the Court against the actions of the customs authority and to return the overpaid funds to the Client's account in court. Yes, the Court appeal procedure is not fast, but it is guaranteed. And most importantly, the customs authority will not be able to take similar actions against the Client's goods in the future.
