The benefits of Paperless Customs

There are several advantages to using paperless trade when shipping paperless outside the EU. It is essential that the customs authorities, in the Country concerned, can charge the correct amount. The customs documentations need to contain the following information; HS code, Country of origin, and unit price.

Usually, the customs clearance is manually calculated based on the enclosed invoice. However, paperless trade cuts that process away, which results in faster delivery times because the shipment is sent directly to the receiver. No more waiting for the parcel to clear customs – the customs are charged automatically.
