Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine HS code?
We analyze product composition, function, and usage against the AHTN/HS explanatory notes and past Customs rulings. Supporting documents like catalogues, MSDS, and samples help justify classification.
What affects clearance time?
Clearance speed depends on declaration channel (green/yellow/red), commodity type, completeness of documents, Customs officer workload, and inspection results. Our pre-advice review helps shorten it to 12–48 h on average.
Do you support FTA CO and duty reduction?
Yes. We advise on the correct FTA (Form D/E/AK, CPTPP, RCEP…), assist in CO preparation, and validate supplier declarations to secure duty preference and minimize tax exposure.
Can you handle Customs inspection and discrepancy?
We coordinate with port/ICD inspectors for both yellow and red channels, attend physical or scan inspections, prepare corrective reports, and ensure timely release after closure.
What documents are needed for import or export clearance?
Commonly: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, BL/AWB, Certificate of Origin (if any), Import license or Permit (if required), catalogue/specification, MSDS, and sales contract/PO. We’ll confirm exact requirements by HS code.
How are Customs duties and VAT calculated?
Duties are based on declared value (CIF/FOB), HS tariff rate, and preferential rate (if FTA applies). VAT is charged on CIF + Duty + related charges. Our system estimates the payable amount before submission.
Can you assist with Customs audit or post-clearance adjustment?
Yes. We handle amendment, refund, and audit response packages, prepare declaration comparison reports, and liaise with Customs for smooth settlement.
Do you provide Customs services for bonded or non-commercial shipments?
We can process declarations for bonded warehouse transfers, temporary import/export, exhibition, and personal or sample shipments under proper schemes.
Do you integrate Customs data with transport and warehouse operations?
Absolutely. Our system links declaration data to trucking and warehouse modules, ensuring live visibility of clearance status and automatic document sharing for pickup/delivery.
