But what exactly does customs clearance mean?
Customs clearance means declaring the incoming and outgoing goods to customs, after which the import-export duties are paid. Therefore, all types of cargo that have a value above US $ 50.00 and are for commercial use, must be cleared. In addition to the declaration form, other paperwork such as permits and origin certificates might be required for the customs clearance The faster this procedure, the faster you can be in possession of your products. Your cargo can depart from the (air)port when all payments have been met.
