Import problems and their causes

Import problems and their causes

“Some importers are facing problems in importing that result in delay in clearing their goods without knowing the real reasons for these problems. We summarize them in the following points:
  • Lack of complete knowledge of commodity classification and knowledge of types of restrictions and procedures imposed on customs items
  • Non-compliance of categories on the Customs declaration provided by the declarant or the owner of the item, due to translation errors
  • Failure to obtain pre-clearance from the competent authorities before the import or extraction process of a certificate of origin, etc.
  • Choosing the customs broker because some people search for those who provide clearance services at a lower price without taking into account that this choice may make him pay high storage costs and fees in maritime, air and land ports due to the inefficiency of specialists at these offices and their lack of knowledge of customs procedures and restrictions.”
