Customs Clearance FAQs

Answers to common questions about customs procedures

Clearance times vary depending on the country, type of goods, and completeness of documentation. For standard shipments with all proper documentation, clearance typically takes 1-3 business days. However, complex shipments or those requiring special permits may take longer. We offer expedited clearance services for urgent shipments.

The most common reasons include:

  • Incomplete or incorrect documentation
  • Misclassification of goods (wrong HS codes)
  • Undervaluation of goods
  • Restricted or prohibited items
  • Random inspections by customs authorities
  • Missing special permits or certificates

There are several legal strategies to reduce duties:

  • Proper classification of goods under the most favorable HS codes
  • Taking advantage of free trade agreements and preferential tariffs
  • Using bonded warehouses or foreign trade zones
  • Considering first sale valuation where applicable
  • Exploring duty drawback programs
  • Structuring shipments to qualify for de minimis thresholds

Our customs experts can analyze your specific situation to recommend the best approach.

The main differences are:

Air Shipments:

  • Generally faster clearance process
  • Higher likelihood of physical inspection due to higher value goods
  • Often requires pre-clearance before arrival
  • Stricter security requirements

Ocean Shipments:

  • More time for document preparation during transit
  • Higher volume means more scrutiny on documentation
  • More likely to be held for agricultural or safety inspections
  • Often involves more complex duty calculations
