Customs clearance is the process of preparing and submitting the necessary documents that allow goods to enter or exit a country. The process involves calculating customs duties, ensuring compliance with the destination country’s regulations, and making sure that your shipment moves smoothly through customs checkpoints.

But who is responsible for customs clearance? Typically, the importer or their appointed customs clearance agent is responsible for ensuring that all requirements are met.
