The customs clearance process can differ from country-to-country and from port-to-port. At Twill we realise the need to get your goods through customs and understand the challenges it may cause. That’s why we can handle Customs House Brokerage for you.
Customs clearance is a crucial part of shipping your cargo from Point A to Point B seamlessly across the world. All goods that cross a border must go through a customs clearance check point – whether they’re being exported, imported or even when your cargo is in transit.
Each country has its own regulations, documentation and procedures when it comes to customs clearance. Customs House Brokerage or Customs Clearance is the service provided by specialists that know what regulations apply, what documents to submit and the different procedures to go through depending on the country where goods are being exported or imported.
Our Customs House Brokerage service can help you with the complexities of border controls and customs regulations for both import and export cargo, at both origin and destination.
Our expert licensed customs brokers stay up to date with the latest rules and regulations, so you don’t have to. Try for yourself and experience how import and export custom clearance can easily be added to your shipment during and even after placing your booking, and let our experts guide you safely to shore.
