Customs Clearance
What is Custom Clearance?
The creation and submission of papers required to facilitate import and export into the country is part of customs clearance process. In order to maintain a continuous supply chain, goods are imported and exported from one country to another. Transportation and shipping of the products happen by road, air, and sea to reach their destination.
What is the Role of Customs Clearing Agent?
Customs clearance is a customs formality that must be completed by an authorised customs broker in order to allow the entry or exit of specific commodities into or out of a country. The role of the customs clearing agency in the efficient and orderly import and export of products is critical. The clearing agent is the party in charge of certifying and monitoring cross-border shipments.
What steps are followed in UK Export Clearance?
The export of the cargo from the factory is informed to the freight forwarder who would send an empty container from the container yard to factory for loading. The container is filled with the goods and invoice and packing list is sent to customs broker. The broker will file export entry with the customs authority. A goods declaration (GD) document will be issued upon successful export customs declaration. The container will be sent to port, loaded onto ship, and sent to its destination port where import customs will take place.
What steps are followed in UK Import Clearance?
One day before cargo arrives in port, the carrier files Import General Manifest (IGM) with the customs department. Each ship has one IGM number and each consignment has a line number which is entered in the bill of entry. Customs broker can file import entry once IGM is filed. Customs broker will use shipment documents like invoice, packing list to file import entry to clear the shipment from port and pay taxes after which, haulage company can pick up the goods from port and deliver to customer warehouse.
