CUS Brokerage, documentation and legalization

Overview

How we handle customs clearance

Most freight delays are document delays. A tariff code that does not match the goods, a certificate that was never legalized, an invoice missing the incoterm — each one costs days at the port and storage charges on top.

We handle the declarations ourselves rather than passing the file to a third party, which means the person answering your question is the person who lodged the entry.

One team, one reference number, and the same person answering the phone from the first quote to the final delivery.

What's included

Everything under customs clearance

01

Import clearance

Declarations lodged against pre-sent documents so the entry is filed as the shipment arrives rather than days after it.

02

Export clearance

Export declarations and port formalities completed in time for the cut-off, not against it.

03

Tariff classification

HS codes checked against the goods and the applicable duty rate confirmed before you commit to a landed cost.

04

Certificates and legalization

Certificates of origin, chamber of commerce attestation, embassy legalization and consular formalities where the destination requires them.

05

Permits and approvals

Ministry approvals, health and phytosanitary certificates, standards conformity and other controlled-goods permissions.

06

Temporary admission and re-export

Goods entering for exhibitions, repair or projects handled under temporary regimes and re-exported cleanly.

How it runs

From enquiry to delivery

The same sequence every time, so you always know which stage your shipment is at and who is holding it.

  1. 1

    Document review

    Invoice, packing list and transport document checked for the errors that cause queries — before the shipment moves.

  2. 2

    Classification

    HS code confirmed and the duty and tax position calculated so there is no surprise at clearance.

  3. 3

    Declaration

    Entry lodged with customs and any inspection or approval requirement dealt with directly.

  4. 4

    Duty settlement

    Duties and taxes settled and the payment evidence issued to you for your records.

  5. 5

    Release and delivery

    Goods released and handed to the delivery leg, with the cleared file sent to you in full.

Questions

What customers ask

If yours isn't here, send it over — we would rather answer it before the booking than after.

Yes. Send us the transport document and the commercial paperwork and we will handle the clearance and delivery even if the freight was booked elsewhere.

Send the documents early. When the file is complete before arrival, the entry goes in on day one and the free time is spent on delivery instead of on paperwork.

We can give you the classification and the applicable rate so you can build a landed cost. Say what the goods are, in detail, and where they are made.

Yes — chamber of commerce attestation and consular legalization are part of the documentation service.

Tell us what's shipping. We'll quote it.

Origin, destination, commodity, weight and volume is all we need to come back with a rate and a routing.
