In this video, we discuss the reasons why customs clearance is required for imports in international trade. Customs clearance involves complying with legal and regulatory requirements to ensure the safe and lawful entry of goods into a country. The process of customs clearance is essential to establish and maintain control over imports, prevent the entry of illegal goods, and protect public safety and national security. Customs clearance also facilitates the assessment and collection of duties, taxes, and fees, contributing to the country's revenue. Moreover, customs clearance helps to protect domestic industries, enforce trade agreements, and ensure compliance with international standards and regulations. Importer Security Filing (ISF) or 10+2 filing is an important aspect of customs clearance as it provides crucial information about imported goods, enhances security measures, and facilitates smoother clearance processes. Understanding and complying with customs clearance requirements can help importers avoid delays, penalties, and disruptions to their supply chain.
