What is Custom Clearance?

Customs clearance is the process of moving items through the customs authorities in order to facilitate cargo movement in or out of a country (import and export). The whole process of customs clearance includes identification and control at airports, seaports, and border crossings to ensure that national, international, vehicles and other cargo being imported or exported are not illegally imported or exported. Through this process, it is confirmed that all tariffs have been paid and that all goods have been approved for export. It also includes obtaining import and export permits (also known as a customs document or declaration) to allow you to enter or leave a country or territory.

What is the Purpose of Customs Clearance?

Customs Departments are the government’s official authority for enforcing import and export rules, collecting customs duties, and facilitating people, goods, and freight movement in and out of the country. The purpose of customs clearance is to verify and inspect the cargo being imported or exported as well as any other items that may be going through this vital process. In short, it is the act of determining if a shipment is legal and fit to be received by the intended recipient. It is also an important part of any shipping process, as it allows for timely delivery of goods.
