Import

We handle the full clearance of your goods, from the arrival notice to authorised release.

Importing demands, in any of the four countries, documentary precision and control of timing. One wrong tariff code or one incomplete supporting document can mean a physical inspection, a penalty, or storage charges that pile up by the day. Our job is to make sure that does not happen.

What the service includes

  • Advance feasibility study and applicable import regime
  • Obtaining and validating supporting documents (invoice, BL/AWB, certificate of origin, licence)
  • Preparing and filing the declaration in the destination customs system
  • Assessing duties and taxes: tariff, VAT and other levies
  • Import licensing through the single window where required
  • Attendance at physical, documentary or non-intrusive inspection
  • Obtaining release and coordinating pickup of the goods
Step by step

How we run the service

    We settle the tariff code and the prior requirements: sanitary, phytosanitary and technical.

  3. Filing and payment

    We file the declaration, assess duties and arrange electronic payment.

  4. Release and delivery

    We attend any inspection, obtain release and coordinate pickup.

Frequent questions

What clients ask most

How long does clearance take?

With complete documentation and no inspection flag, release usually comes the same day the declaration is filed. With physical inspection, one to three working days depending on the warehouse.

What documents do I need to import?

At minimum: commercial invoice, transport document (BL, AWB or waybill) and packing list. Depending on the product, add certificate of origin, import licence and clearances from the relevant agency.

Do I need to be registered as an importer?

Yes. You need the tax registration covering import activity and, in some cases, registration in the single window. We handle both.
