How CG Logistics handles customs clearance and international shipping

Customs clearance by CGL

Customs clearance is a critical factor of international trade that includes complying with the rules and regulations of a nation’s customs at the time of import and export of goods. It is the procedure of obtaining permission from customs authorities for the movement of goods across borders, and it comprises numerous important steps.

Firstly, it is required by the importer and expert to give accurate and complete information about their products, involving the description, value, and country of origin. Such information is usually given in the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading.

Following that, customs authorities review the information to determine whether or not the product meets the country’s import and export needs.They may examine products, evaluate their value, and compute any fees or taxes that are due. Customs authorities may also inspect for any prohibited or restricted goods, like controlled substances or weapons.

Once the products have been cleared through customs, they can be released for the purpose of transportation to their destination.
