What is customs clearance?
If you have bought or sold goods outside the European Union, either as a company or as an individual, you will need to clear customs. Customs clearance is a procedure that must be carried out before the customs authorities for your goods to enter or leave the country. The customs clearance process is necessary for the Administration to inspect and approve your commercial activity of selling and buying abroad. The Customs and Excise Department of the Tax Agency will need you to provide a series of documents that identify the importer, the exporter, and the item. This customs process allows the Tax Agency to perform a series of customs controls on the goods, as well as safety, health, and quality controls.
The customs clearance process is mandatory and must be completed before the Customs Authority will allow goods to enter or leave a country.
Customs services are handled by sea, air or land customs, depending on whether the goods were shipped or received by port, airport or land. To complete the customs clearance process, the following information is required:
- Financial information of the importer/exporter.
- Origin and destination of the import/export
- Modes of transport and their origins
- The number of packages, their gross and net weight, the volume of the goods and their description.
- Taxes to be paid (only in case of import).
