Customs clearance is the process of releasing goods that have been imported into a country from foreign territory. The process typically involves the declaration of the goods to the customs authorities, the payment of duties and taxes, and the inspection and verification of the goods to ensure they are allowed to enter the country. The purpose of customs clearance is to protect the country’s economy, public health and safety, and national security by regulating the flow of goods across its borders. The procedures and requirements for customs clearance vary from country to country, and it is important for importers to be familiar with the specific requirements in the country where they are importing goods.
