FAQs

Key documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any necessary permits or licenses. Accurate documentation ensures smooth customs clearance.

Customs brokers act as intermediaries between your business and government agencies. They classify goods, calculate duties and taxes, and manage filings to ensure compliance and efficient clearance.

Delays often stem from missing paperwork, incorrect classifications, unpaid duties, or regulatory noncompliance. Avoid issues by submitting complete documents and working with experienced customs professionals.

These are based on the Harmonized System (HS) code, declared value, and trade agreements between countries. Understanding these factors helps you plan costs and avoid surprises.

Air freight is fastest but most expensive; ocean freight is cost-effective for large, non-urgent shipments; ground freight supports regional and inland transport. Compare transit time, cost, and customs requirements to choose the best option.
