Hi,

Thanks for your question and my apologies for a delayed response. Allow me to answer it for you.

In simple words, the procedure of passing goods through customs so that they can enter or leave the country is known as custom clearance. However, there's more to it than the limited definition of it stated above.

Proper documentation is needed ahead of custom clearance of imported or exported goods. Customs clearance work involves preparation and submission of documentation required to facilitate export or imports into the country, representing client during customs examination, assessment, payment of duty and co taking delivery of cargo from customs after clearance along with documents.

As an importer, you need the following documents in order to make the clearance procedure smooth for you -

Bill of Entry
Commercial Invoice
Bill of Lading
Import License
Insurance Certificate
Purchase order/Letter of Credit
Industrial License (if any)
Technical Write up of specific goods
RCMC: Registration cum Membership Certificate
Central Excise Documents (if any)

As an exporter, the following documents need to be in place for effective and easy customs clearance

Purchase Order from Buyer
Sales Invoice of supplier
Bill of Entry
Bill of Lading /Air way bill
Packing List
Certificate of Origin
Other specific documentation required by the buyer, or financial institution or the importing country regulation

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks and regards,
