What is custom clearance?

Customs clearance is a necessary procedure in permitting goods that are transported to a country through an authorized customs broker. The act of taking goods through the customs authority of the country to facilitate the movement of cargo into a country (import) and outside the country (export). Goods are imported and exported from one country to another in order to maintain a seamless supply chain but in order to ensure a complete legal and ethical freight shipment, custom clearance is indispensable.
