Customs Brokerage
Regulatory clarity before cargo release.
Plan import and export customs documentation and clearance coordination with careful attention to applicable requirements.
Three passes over the documents.
Document readiness, HS classification review, customs declarations and clearance coordination through appropriately authorised parties where required.
Prepare
Collect what the declaration will rest on.
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Transport document
- Importer or exporter identity
- Permits or certificates the goods may need
Check
Make the documents agree with each other.
- Names, addresses and tax identity match across documents
- Quantities and weights agree
- The goods description is specific enough to classify
- Value, currency and Incoterm are stated the same way
Review
Resolve what does not agree before it is filed.
- Questions on classification are sent to the right party
- Differences are corrected at the source
- What remains open is written down, with who decides
- Filing is done by the party licensed to do it
VORA coordinates the documents and the questions around them. Filing a customs declaration is done by a party licensed to do it, and we say who that is for each shipment. The example document is synthetic: it shows what is compared, not a real record.
What we check before filing
- Commercial invoice, packing list and the transport document (bill of lading or air waybill)
- The HS classification of each item, and whether it is already agreed
- Permits, licences or import restrictions that apply to the goods
- Who the importer or exporter of record is, with the tax identity
- The value, currency and Incoterm declared on the documents
How we work
Review commercial documents, identify declarations and permits, coordinate filings and address customs responses.
