Before sending your goods across the borders be it by sea, land or air, you would expect to fill in countless of details about your goods in order for the customs to allow your goods to pass through. One example would be the Importer Security Filing rule made mandatory by the US in 2009. It is where at least 24 hours before your goods are loaded onto a vessel; you would have to submit ten specific data elements along with 2 other elements provided by your carrier. Hence customs clearance broker will be more than experienced to fill in these data on time and ensure that these information gets to the US Customs and Border Protection agency in time.
If the net worth or value of all your goods are higher than a certain value, you will need a customs broker to be your guarantor. This is to ensure that all taxes, duties and other miscellaneous fees will be paid on time to the government. Hence, a customs clearance service provider can secure your transaction with a broker’s bond thus speeding up the customs clearance process.
By engaging a customs clearance agency, these experts can aid you in seeking a binding classification ruling for your goods which is a very complicated process. In other words, it means to ensure that your goods are ruled as a specific tariff classification. This results in the same duty rates being applied to your goods, regardless on which port of entry you choose to use. This will not only free you of lots of hassle, it also enables you to project long-term costs more easily.
Most shipments clear within 1–5 working days, depending on cargo type and documentation.
