Customs brokerage FAQs
What does a customs broker do for an importer or exporter?
A customs broker represents the customer before customs authorities, assists with tariff classification, prepares and submits the required documents and coordinates clearance according to applicable law and the goods involved.
Which documents are needed for customs clearance?
Requirements vary by transaction and goods. Common documents include a commercial invoice, packing list and transport document, with origin certificates, licences or official approvals where required.
Why consult a customs broker before dispatch?
An early review can identify licensing, standards, classification or documentation requirements before the cargo reaches the port, helping reduce delays and unexpected costs.
Can you coordinate with the Standards Institution and government ministries?
Yes, depending on the goods. ELISHAR assists with the relevant bodies, which may include standards, health, transport, agriculture, communications and other authorities as required.
