Regardless of country of origin, commodity or mode of transportation, navigating the challenges of clearing freight through customs can be difficult and costly for shippers that aren’t up to speed with the complex and ever-changing government regulations.
Below are some of the most common challenges shippers face when attempting to clear their goods:
- Lack of proper, or incomplete, documentation to clear customs
- Penalties and fines due to a lack of understanding of compliance, security and safety regulations
- Improper tariff classification

- Poor customer experience and missed opportunities due to delays
