Customs clearance is an inevitable aspect of any business’ supply chain. The rules and regulations pertaining to the import, export and transit of goods are different for every country and subject to changes. Having a reliable partner that is up to date with the most recent regulations can help to avoid extra costs and delays.
Customs Clearance operations can often lack transparency as laws and regulations are not always easily accessible. This can negatively impact the delivery time of cargo or increase the cost of standing charges and delays due to incorrect or incomplete documentation. For this reason, Alistair Group has implemented multiple processes and initiatives to reduce these effects on our clients’ shipments.
