During the import process, goods progress through distinct phases: ordering and export declaration at origin, shipment via appropriate transport mode, arrival at destination port or border, and subsequent import declaration and customs clearance. Customs authorities verify commercial invoices, check conformity with regulations, and may conduct physical inspections. Essential documents—air waybill, bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin—must be submitted to facilitate clearance. Once customs releases the goods, final delivery to the consignee proceeds.
