In the course of customs clearance, the customs duty settlement emerges as the comprehensive process of calculating, documenting, and finally reconciling all duties, taxes, and charges payable to the customs authority. Settlement begins with determination of the customs value and applicable rates, includes preparation of the required customs declaration and supporting documentation, and concludes with payment and official confirmation by the authority. It differs from simple payment transactions by encompassing the complete documentation trail and legal settlement, not merely fund transfer.
