Customs, cleared up

Import and export clearance, document checks and plain-language guidance so goods do not sit at the border.

Overview

Most customs holds come down to paperwork: a missing invoice field, an unclear description or a wrong HS code. We check documents before departure and request anything missing early.

If a shipment is held, you see the reason, what is needed and the next update time — not just a status code.
