{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"customs release","description":"Customs release is the formal decision by a customs authority that goods may leave the customs zone and be handed over to the consignee. It is issued once all applicable duties and taxes have been paid, required documents—commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin, licences—have been accepted as complete, and any physical inspections have been concluded. Until release is granted, goods remain under customs control: containers cannot be stripped and parcels cannot be delivered.
