What are the most common problems with customs clearance?
A typical problem with customs clearance is that a shipment gets delayed at a border because the duties cost more than expected or the customs declaration is incorrect or incomplete. If you use a customs broker or a strategic customs partner, you can easily avoid problems and risks with the correct documentation and classification.
