How to avoid problems with customs clearance

Customs clearance is a complex procedure that consists of many stages, the most important of which is the preparation for the release of goods. We will tell you the most common mistakes.:

  • Non-declaration
  • False declaration
  • Incorrect Incoterms terms
  • Incorrect HS code
  • Error in calculating the customs value
  • Incomplete package of documents
  • Errors in paperwork
  • Errors in labeling and packaging of goods

With FLYWAY, you don’t have to worry about this, our customs clearance specialists are professionals in their field. They will help you with any questions you may have and will issue a full package of documents for an unhindered customs inspection.

However, not everything depends only on the shipping company and the buyer. Sometimes the supplier himself, unknowingly, can add problems.:

  • For example, the supplier incorrectly stated the characteristics of the product to you, which led to erroneous customs clearance. This will significantly slow down the product clearance process and extend the delivery period.
  • It may also happen that the supplier puts in a little more goods or carefully put in spare parts, in case the goods suddenly get damaged on the road and it will be necessary to bring them in marketable condition.
  • Or vice versa, the supplier wanted to please you and gave you a gift. It would seem to be a very nice gesture, but it is precisely because of this that your party may be deployed at customs.

Such actions can lead to fines in the best case and/or withdrawal of the shipment in the worst case and you risk being left without goods. Please contact us. Our experts will be happy to help you with the cargo transportation process.
