Customs clearance is an essential stage of international cargo movement. Before imported or exported goods can move through the required customs process, businesses need to provide accurate shipment information, commercial documentation and declarations relevant to the goods and transaction.
Unicorn Shipping provides Customs Clearance Services for importers, exporters, manufacturers, trading companies and businesses involved in international trade. Our team coordinates customs-related documentation, cargo classification, customs declarations, duty and tax assessment, inspection requirements and cargo release procedures according to the requirements of each shipment.
As a Custom Clearance Agent, we work with the relevant customs, port, shipping and logistics stakeholders involved in the clearance process. The objective is to keep the customs stage connected with the wider movement of cargo rather than treating clearance as a separate activity.
Depending on the shipment, customs clearance can be coordinated with freight forwarding, NVOCC, air freight, land transportation and warehousing services. This is particularly useful when the cargo requires transportation and delivery arrangements immediately before or after customs release.
Accurate documentation is one of the foundations of the customs clearance process. The information provided for a shipment needs to correspond with the actual goods, commercial transaction and applicable customs requirements.
Our Customs Documentation Services include reviewing and coordinating the documents and shipment information required for the applicable import or export procedure. Depending on the shipment, documentation may include commercial invoices, packing lists, Bills of Lading or Air Waybills, Bills of Entry, Shipping Bills, certificates of origin and other supporting documents.
We also coordinate information relating to cargo classification, customs declarations, valuation and applicable duties or taxes. The exact documentation requirements depend on the nature of the goods, transaction, origin, destination and applicable regulations.
By reviewing documentation before the cargo reaches the relevant clearance stage, potential discrepancies or missing information can be identified and addressed with the appropriate parties.
Every shipment has different customs requirements. The applicable documentation, classification, declarations, duties, inspections and release procedures depend on factors such as the type of goods, import or export transaction, origin, destination and applicable regulations.
Our process therefore starts by understanding the shipment rather than applying the same clearance procedure to every consignment.
We review the available cargo and commercial information to understand the nature of the shipment, transaction type and documentation required for the applicable customs process.
The goods are reviewed for the relevant classification and supporting information. Correct classification is important because it can affect applicable duties, taxes, restrictions and documentation requirements.
Required documents and shipment information are prepared, reviewed and coordinated according to the applicable import or export procedure.
The relevant cargo and transaction information is coordinated for the applicable customs declaration and processing requirements.
Where applicable, duties and taxes are assessed based on the relevant customs valuation, classification, origin and other applicable factors.
If customs authorities require examination, inspection or additional information, we coordinate with the relevant parties to support the required process.
Once the applicable customs formalities are completed, cargo release is coordinated with the relevant port, terminal, shipping or logistics stakeholders.
After clearance, cargo can be coordinated for onward movement through land transportation, warehousing or final delivery according to the shipment requirement.
Customs clearance does not happen in isolation. International cargo may involve a shipping line, port or terminal, customs authorities, freight forwarders, transport providers and warehouses before it reaches its final destination.
We coordinate the customs-related activities with the relevant logistics stakeholders so that the next stage of cargo movement can be planned after clearance.
Where required, our customs services can be connected with Freight Forwarding Services, NVOCC Services, Land Transportation Services and Warehousing & Distribution Services. This allows businesses to coordinate customs and transportation requirements through a connected logistics process.
Import cargo may pass through several stages before it reaches the consignee. International transportation, arrival documentation, customs processing, cargo examination, duty assessment, port procedures and inland transportation may all form part of the movement.
Our import customs clearance support helps businesses coordinate the customs-related requirements around the arriving shipment.
