Iapetus's extensive knowledge and experience of global Customs clearance procedures can save your time and money.
Each item of cargo you are importing or exporting must satisfy official Customs formalities and regulations in order to proceed across international borders.
Having worked closely with international Customs authorities for a number of years, our customers benefit from fast, efficient processing of their cargo through border formalities.
How does Iapetus actually help with Customs clearance?
Many of our global agencies can actually offer an in-house Customs clearance service. This provides an easy, efficient and legally compliant transit of international cargo without involving any other organisation or regulatory body. These agencies can:
- Provide expert advice and guidance on all necessary procedures and relevant cargo codification.
- Talk you through all the Customs documentation you will need to complete for different cargo types and countries of origin/destination.
- Submit import and export Customs entries on your behalf.
- Provide guidance on likely Customs duty for different cargoes (based on classification code and country of origin with which you provide us).
