Before reaching its destination, international cargo must always pass through one or more customs borders. Customs clearance is the process of declaring the entrance and exit of goods into a certain economy. The clearing of cargo and its physical transfer are two distinct functions that are inextricably linked. A basic understanding of how customs clearance works and the paperwork required is required.
