The importance of document preparation:

If the exporter and importer provide each other with correct and consistent information, the export documents delivered to customs are complete and accurate and the clearance process can be completed quickly. Conversely, delays in customs clearance can have consequences:

Being prepared is the key to smooth customs clearance! Make sure you know what documentation is required, it all depends on the type of product you are sending internationally. Keep in mind that each country/region has its own rules and requirements. Even with the small details, your parcel labelling must be accurate to get through the customs process smoothly and quickly!

If everything is ready and correct, you will not experience any delays or accrued charges! Happy exporting!
