Freight forwarding refers to the coordination and management of transporting goods from one location to another through air, sea, or road while ensuring safe and timely delivery.

A freight forwarder simplifies shipping by handling logistics planning, documentation, communication with carriers, and customs processes, helping businesses save time and reduce risks.

Customs clearance is the process of declaring goods to customs authorities when they enter or leave a country. It includes document verification, duty payment, and compliance with regulations.

The following documents are typically required for customs clearance:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading or Airway Bill
• Import Export Code (IEC)
• Shipping Bill (for exports)
• Bill of Entry (for imports)

If all documents are correct and complete, customs clearance normally takes about one to three working days.

Delays may happen due to incorrect documentation, HS classification errors, valuation issues, customs inspections, or regulatory checks.

Customs duties depend on the HS code of the product, declared value, duty rates, and the country of origin.
