Customs & duties

For international shipments we handle all customs paperwork, duty calculation, and clearance through our broker network. Customs status appears as a checkpoint on your tracking page — no surprise calls from a port asking for documents.

How it works

  1. Describe

    Send the cargo description, declared value and importer details.

  2. Classify

    We classify the goods and prepare the commercial invoice.

  3. Submit

    The entry goes to a broker, who follows clearance through.

  4. Release

    Clearance shows as a checkpoint on tracking, then the goods are released.

What we handle

  • HS-code classification and commercial-invoice generation
  • Duty and VAT calculation, paid on your behalf where pre-funded
