Customs Clearance

Customs clearance is a necessary procedure before goods can be imported or exported internationally. If a shipment is cleared, then the shipper will provide documentation confirming customs duties that are paid and the shipment can be processed.

Customs clearance is an even simpler process when a customs broker is used to refer to during imports and exports.

What services can customs brokers assist with?

A customs broker can assist with HTS codes, which are based on product classification codes between 8-10 digits. The first six digits are HS codes and countries of import include proceeding digits that are provided for additional classification. All codes are administered by the U.S. International Trade Commission.

In addition, determining the country of origin can be difficult to determine for Customs. Country of origin is important for marking. It is defined by the country that goods were assembled or the most work was put into the product.
