Definition & Explanation
During import, export, or transit procedures, customs authorities conduct systematic inspections to verify proper goods declaration and compliance with customs regulations. Customs clearance control encompasses examination of customs declarations, certificates of origin, cargo documents (such as bills of lading or air waybills), commodity descriptions, and valuations against national and international standards. Non-compliance may result in penalty duties, warnings, or temporary cargo detention; accurate documentation expedites clearance.
