Customs services encompass the essential tasks performed by customs service providers to complete customs procedures and manage origin documents related to import and export shipments for clients. The scope and cost of these services vary depending on the specific requirements of the customs clearance item.
Therefore, cooperation and communication between businesses using customs services and service providers are crucial. Currently, customs services generally fall into two main forms:
- Customs Clearance: In this method, the service provider uses an introduction letter on behalf of the goods owner to conduct customs clearance procedures. The legal entity (or individual) using the service does not appear on the customs documents.
- Customs Agents: Service companies (individuals cannot provide this service) use their own name and digital signature to declare customs declarations and submit necessary documents. The service company assumes responsibility for the customs procedure under its own name.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages for shippers. For instance, rental services are increasingly popular due to their convenience for customers and service providers. However, a drawback is that the service provider does not appear as the responsible entity on the customs documents, which can pose risks in certain situations.
