What does customs clearance mean in international transport?

Customs clearance includes all steps required to properly export, import or transport goods through transit countries.

Customs clearance in international transport includes all necessary steps to ensure that goods can be properly exported from the EU, imported into a third country or transported through transit countries. It is particularly relevant for transports to non-EU countries such as Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, the Caucasus or the Middle East.

In international truck transport, customs documents, goods information, consignee details, HS codes or commodity codes and export procedures directly affect transit time and plannability. Incorrect or incomplete information can cause queries, waiting times or delays.

GLOBALSPED organizes international transports and supports customers with transport-related customs clearance based on complete goods and customs data provided by the shipper, exporter or client.
