Customs & Barrier Clearance

Customs & Barrier Clearance is a core part of our business

We have been helping clients negotiate the many regulations, taxes, duties and Quarantine regulations so they can get their freight to its destination safely and cost effectively.

The time required to understand and remain up-to-date with the large volume of import and export regulations is high. Smith Channon has invested heavily into developing partnerships, understanding regulations and working with the authorities to ensure our clients don’t need to.

Our staff are accredited and are regularly trained in the latest regulatory environment. Combined with our network of agents and partners around the world, our clients are safe in the knowledge that their freight will clear all the Customs and other Barrier Clearance hurdles quickly and efficiently, meaning less freight delays.

Compliance of Import/Export Documentation

Smith Channon can also assist your business in complying with legislative requirements in terms of import and export documentation.

Our staff can guide you with advice on the requirements for various import permits or approvals and then assist you with making applications to various Government agencies.

Further, under Customs law, importers and exporters are required to retain all documentation for a period of up to five years. We can manage your documentation for the required time and electronically store it in our secure facilities.
