Customs clearance

Which documents are needed for customs clearance?

Usually a contract, commercial invoice, packing list and a transport document (CMR, railway or air waybill). Certificates and permits are added if your goods require them. The exact list depends on the goods — send us a description and we will confirm it.

How long does customs clearance take?

It depends on the type of goods, how complete the documents are and whether customs selects the shipment for inspection. When the documents are ready and correct, the process is much faster — after reviewing your documents we will give you a realistic estimate.

Why do I need a customs broker?

You can file a declaration yourself, but a mistake in the HS code, customs value or documents leads to delays, extra payments and fines. A broker works with these procedures every day, checks everything before submission and communicates with customs for you.

What determines the amount of customs payments?

The HS code of the goods, their customs value, country of origin and the duties and taxes that apply to them. We calculate the payments in advance, so there are no surprises when the goods arrive.

Certification

Which certificates might I need?

Depending on the goods: a conformity certificate, a hygiene (sanitary) conclusion, veterinary or phytosanitary documents. Some goods need none of these — we will check for you.

How do I know if my product needs certification?

It depends on the product type and its HS code. Send us the product name, a description and, if you have it, the HS code — we will tell you which documents are required.

Cargo & logistics

Which types of transport do you use?

We organise delivery by road, rail and air and choose the option that fits your cargo, budget and deadline.

Can you combine delivery and customs clearance?

Yes — this is our main advantage. One team plans the route, prepares the documents and clears the goods, so the cargo does not wait at the border.

How is the delivery cost calculated?

The price depends on the route, weight and volume of the cargo, its type, the transport mode and how urgent the delivery is. Send us the details and we will prepare an offer.

Contracts and product sourcing

Can you help find a supplier?

Yes. Tell us what products you need, and we will look for suitable suppliers, help compare offers and organise delivery to you.

Do you help with foreign trade contracts?

Yes. We help prepare or review a contract so that the goods, prices, delivery terms and responsibilities are clearly defined and match customs requirements.
