Customs Brokerage & Clearance

Customs brokerage and clearance providers handle the import and export formalities a shipment of stores or spares must clear before it can be landed, moved inland, or delivered to a vessel — preparing and lodging customs declarations, classifying goods under the correct tariff code, calculating duty and tax due, and liaising with customs authorities to release the cargo.

Brokers act on the importer's or exporter's behalf at the port or airport of entry, and their work is limited to the regulatory clearance step itself, distinct from the physical transport arranged through a freight forwarder and from any bonded storage a shipment may need while awaiting clearance. Because incorrect classification or missing paperwork can hold a shipment at the border and delay delivery to the ship, buyers use a broker experienced in the relevant country's customs regime, comparing providers on accuracy, clearance turnaround, and familiarity with ship stores and spares import rules.
