Customs, Duties, and Taxes
Draft for business and legal review before this page is published.
General information for customers. It is not customs advice for a specific commodity or country.
Who assesses duty
The destination customs authority decides whether duty and tax are due and how much.
A freight quotation covers the transport service that was quoted. It does not, by itself, pay the importer’s duty.
What usually helps clearance
A commercial invoice, a packing list, and a clear description of the goods.
Licences or certificates when the product needs them, such as certain foods, medicines, and agricultural goods.
The correct consignee details so the broker or customs authority can contact the right party.
