Customs Procedures and Goods Clearance
In order to make our business bigger, we need to learn the procedures for clearing our goods from customs. This operation is carried out between the receiving country and the customs of our country. The import and export policies of the government allow the customs department to carry out its work according to the procedure.
Each country has different policies and they are different from each other. People who are looking to move their goods to the borders of other countries should familiarize themselves with the country’s trade policies to make their work easier.

Then the customs will issue a license to load the goods and the owner of the goods must pay a fee to the warehouse. This cost includes work such as the duration of storage of goods in the warehouse, unloading, loading of goods, etc.
