Import process control ensures that all administrative, customs, and logistical steps in goods import proceed correctly. It includes monitoring of documents, customs declarations, transport routes, and warehousing – and verifies compliance with legal requirements, identifies risks, and prevents delivery delays. In practice, freight forwarders or customs brokers verify invoices, certificates of origin, shipping documents, and dangerous goods declarations against the destination country's customs regulations.
