FAQs
Can I handle customs clearance myself, or do I need service?
Technically, you can handle customs clearance yourself, but it can be complicated and time-consuming, especially when it comes to understanding the correct tariff codes. If you enter the wrong tariff code, it could result in penalties. Therefore, it’s often more efficient and risk-free to work with a customs agency, as we are well-versed in the process and ensure compliance with all regulations.
How long is it to create a document?
Customs clearance typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity. To ensure a smooth process and avoid delays, please send us all documents at least one week in advance. This allows time for any additional document requests and helps save on customs duties and waiting times at the border.
How long does the on-site processing takes?
The time required for customs clearance is usually 10-20 minutes, depending on whether you print the documents yourself or pick them up at the border. The process may vary slightly based on the customs office’s workload.
What should I do if additional documents are requested during customs clearance?
If there are additional documents that are asked/missing, it is required for the customer to get the missing required documents and submit it alongside the remaining documents that are needed. They have to be submitted together, not separately.
