Make the customs procedure part of the plan
State whether the goods are entering a domestic market, moving through a free zone, being re-exported or following another procedure. The commodity, origin, destination and importer’s position affect the information needed.
Share available invoices, packing information and transport details before arrival. We identify missing shipment information and the work requested in the quotation. The importer or exporter remains responsible for accurate declarations and any required permits or registrations.
What your quotation can include
- Import and export clearance enquiries for commercial cargo
- Document review and coordination with the importer or exporter
- Port, airport and onward transport coordination where included
- Re-export or special-procedure enquiries assessed individually
Agree the operating scope
Requirements depend on the country, commodity, customs procedure and the parties involved. A quotation is not a customs ruling. The responsible importer or exporter must provide accurate information, and any permits, duties, taxes or inspections are confirmed for the shipment.
Information for a useful quotation
- Commercial invoice and packing information
- Transport document or booking details when available
- Importer and exporter information, including relevant registration details
- Commodity description, origin, intended procedure and delivery requirements
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Are duties and taxes included in the service fee?
Do not assume they are. Ask for the quotation to distinguish service charges from duties, taxes, inspections, storage and other third-party costs.
Can the process start before arrival?
Document preparation can begin before arrival. Share the expected arrival details and available documents so that missing information can be identified early.
