Customs

Import declaration and dangerous-goods filing are completed at the border, aligned to the product's actual classification.

What happens

We file the import declaration for the receiving country, using the tariff classification confirmed at booking.

Dangerous-goods documentation is submitted in line with IMDG and ADR requirements for the product's UN classification.

Any duty, VAT or bonded-warehouse handling required for the specific destination is coordinated directly with customs authorities or the client's broker.

Why it matters

Bulk liquid chemicals carry classification requirements that generic freight paperwork doesn't cover. A misfiled dangerous-goods declaration doesn't just cause a delay — it can hold a tank at the border indefinitely. We file directly against the product's actual classification rather than a template.

What we file at the border
  • Import declaration with correct tariff classification
  • IMDG / ADR dangerous-goods documentation
  • Duty and VAT handling coordination
  • Any destination-specific permits or bonded transit paperwork
