custom handling and custom clearance
Custom clearance procedures are tedious and cumbersome for one reason, to protect and control one country's market.
Policies change and other bilateral arrangement can also cause amendments in custom procedures and rules. As new products are being built, new technologies deployed, more and more restriction and paper works are required to do proper handling of your cargo at custom.
Failing to do proper documentation and declaration can cause not only monetary loss, but in some cases may result in bad reputation for your company and even being blacklisted from importing or exporting.
