Customs clearance refers to the procedures that need to be performed in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country when importing, exporting or transshipping goods enter and exit the customs border country. Only after fulfilling various obligations and going through customs declaration, inspection, taxation, release and other procedures for customs clearance, the goods can be released, then the owner or declarer can pick up the goods. Similarly, various of transport that carry import and export goods need to be declared to the customs, go through customs formalities, and obtain permission from the customs. During the period of customs clearance, the goods, whether they are imported, exported or transshipped, are all under the supervision of the customs. If there is no customs clearance, the goods are not allowed to circulate freely.
