Customs clearance

The expertise you need to ensure successful transport and delivery

In a global economy, the clearance process for goods entering or leaving a country is governed by complex rules set by customs authorities. Businesses must meet specific requirements, including accurate documentation and correct classification, to ensure smooth cross-border movement.

In most countries where DSV operates, we are licensed at the customs office to handle full import and export procedures. Where we are not directly licensed, we work with trusted agents to ensure seamless processing.

Our teams manage all customs declarations, ensuring accuracy when submitting details such as the HS code, country of origin, and value of goods. This supports correct assessment of duties and taxes, as well as other customs charges.

We also assist with key documentation such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin, which are often required by customs authorities to verify shipments.

Depending on the country, we can offer guidance and specialised procedures including:

• Import and export declarations
