Custom Clearance
Although Customs Clearance is offered as part of our own services, we additionally offer a Stand-Alone, full Customs Clearance Brokerage service for Importers, Exporters, Local and Overseas Cargo Agents. We do not need to carry your goods to clear shipments for you through Customs.
As some importers have been discovering to their detriment, the days of cheap Customs Clearance services are coming to an end. There is no quick fix or easy way out for getting your goods through Customs. Incorrect Customs declarations found afterwards during examinations or regular Customs Audits, which can be up to seven years later, can lead to seriously heavy penalties, back payments of unpaid or underpaid Customs duties and taxes, and interest payments. It may also result in more detailed audits of your business, loss of your good reputation with Customs and possibly leading to your shipments and paperwork getting examined more often, thereby delaying your deliveries and increasing your costs.
At CLF we have stuck to our policy throughout all our years of working closely with the client to ensure we only submit Customs Entries and paperwork that will comply with Customs requirements and that the correct Customs Duties and taxes have been paid to the best of our knowledge. We only ask for a fair price for the work involved depending on the complexity of the Customs Declaration required.
