Custom Clearance & Indenting

Custom clearance is taking goods through the customs authority to facilitate the movement of cargo into (import) and outside (export) of a country. Customs clearance is necessary to permit goods to be transported to a country through an authorized customs agent. Within this process, there’s also information regarding shipments of imports and exports and of parties involved.

Indenting is the process of using an agent or representative to place an order on your behalf with specific conditions attached to the transaction. An indent sale starts with the person making an order using the agent or representative to place an order with a supplier. The agent negotiates prices and sets up accounts, orders, and payments.

Documents involved with clearance and indenting may include:

Shipping document (Bill of Lading)
Supplier’s commercial invoice
Packing list
Certificate of Origin
Preference Certificates
Health Certificates (for foodstuffs etc.)
