Custom Clearance

what we do

Customs clearance

Custom clearance procedures are processes integral to the declaration of goods and their values to the government via its customs agency. This will definitely ensure that imports are adequately declared and registered. Other aspects of custom clearance are tariff collection and payment, including security inspection processes. In all, it is a statutory requirement for all import documents to be provided and submitted to the customs authority.
