Definition & Explanation

A customs authority has inspected a shipment—now the process needs to be formally closed: that is the post-inspection completion. It refers to the official conclusion of a regulatory re-examination, in which the condition, quantity, and supporting documentation of the goods are definitively verified and recorded. This step typically follows either a spot check or a post-clearance audit. The findings are captured in an inspection report, which may trigger amendments to the customs declaration or additional duty assessments. Without a properly documented completion, both the importer and the authority lack a clear audit trail for any future disputes.
