CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

The Most Progressive Company

FCS’s extensive knowledge and experience of global Customs clearance procedures can save you time and money.

Each item of cargo you are importing or exporting must satisfy official Customs formalities and regulations in order to proceed across international borders.

Having worked closely with international Customs authorities for a number of decades, our customers benefit from fast, efficient processing of their cargo through border formalities.

How does FCS actually help with Customs clearance?

Many of our global agencies can actually offer an in-house Customs clearance service. This provides an easy, efficient and legally compliant transit of international cargo without involving any other organisation or regulatory body. These agencies can:

  • Provide expert advice and guidance on all necessary procedures and relevant cargo codification.
  • Talk you through all the Customs documentation you will need to complete for different cargo types and countries of origin/destination.
  • Submit import and export Customs entries on your behalf.
  • Authorise some Customs documentation on-site (such as the EUR1 / ATR).
  • Provide guidance on likely Customs duty for different cargoes (based on classification code and country of origin with which you provide us).

  • Swifter processing through Customs procedures.
  • Reduced risk of Customs intervention for ocean-going shipments.
  • Prioritisation over non-AEO businesses where Customs have selected cargo for examination.
  • Lower risk score in Customs’ risk management systems.
