Customs Declarations

Often touted as a primary source of government revenue, the duties and taxes associated with the importing of goods is a critical element of the supply chain compliance responsibility. While a shared role between the purchasing company, supplier, broker and government- customs declarations involve the highest degree of transparency over exactly the nature of the commodity entering the country, its value and where it was made. With this information in hand, and the requisite commercial and licensing documentation, the trading community can satisfy the entry process through every scenario it might entail: direct entry, in-bond, free trade zone, as well as address the re-exporting of goods and recouping of duties paid.
