A clearance process encompasses all steps involved in processing goods through customs or logistics facilities: document verification, physical inspection, customs clearance, and release for onward movement. In freight forwarding practice, it combines regulatory handling (customs declaration, risk assessment) with operational logistics (warehousing, loading). Processing time varies depending on commodity type, origin, and whether additional inspections are triggered.
