Customs Clearance at Sea Ports
The past few weeks in transportation have been full of uncertainty. The media continually reports on the war in Ukraine. The situation is further intensified by:
- Provisions of the EU Mobility Package,
- Rising fuel prices,
- Economic sanctions and threats of closing the eastern borders of the European Union.
All of this is causing a serious crisis in international road transport. Exporters and importers are increasingly looking favorably towards sea transport and direct clearance at sea ports.
The changes that every business must confront are leading to the search for effective solutions. Each of us expects concrete and tangible results in the form of time savings, ensuring the smooth supply of goods, and reducing costs that are inexorably rising.
All these objectives boil down to minimizing procedures, for example, by reducing the number of customs clearance locations for goods from third countries. The solution is quite simple— customs clearance at sea port terminals and rail terminals.
Customs Clearance at Sea Ports or Rail Terminals
One of the most significant benefits of clearance at a sea port is the availability of goods. What exactly does this mean? Customs clearance at the sea port terminal (e.g., release for free circulation, commonly known as “import”) allows for the collection of goods and direct delivery to the unloading location.
There is no need for clearance at an internal customs office or a location recognized by the Customs Agency. As a result, we save time and minimize costs. We save on additional customs documents, such as transit to an internal customs office.
Importantly, the customs agency performing the clearance of such goods does not need to have its headquarters in any specific sea port—in other words, it performs such orders remotely. In the digital age, we can perform customs clearance at any customs office in Poland. Distance is no obstacle. Remember this, and don’t forget about us. Clearance at the port or rail terminal is nothing new to us.
Terminus, with over 20 years of experience, also provides such services—you can count on our support.
