PERS LOGISTICS Customs Clearance Services

Customs procedures are one of the most important stages of international trade and transportation operations. Accurate documentation, compliance with applicable regulations and effective coordination of operational steps are essential to keeping import and export shipments on schedule.

PERS Logistics provides solutions focused on coordinating the customs-related stages of your international logistics operations. For import, export and transit shipments, we support the planning process by coordinating with relevant parties based on shipment details, commercial documents and operational requirements.

What Are Customs Clearance Services?

Customs clearance covers the declaration, inspection and processing procedures required under applicable customs regulations when goods enter, leave or transit through a country. These procedures take into account the nature of the goods, HS code classification, country of origin, customs value, mode of transport and commercial documentation.

Effective customs processing requires the preparation of relevant documents, verification of declaration details and compliance with requests from the competent authorities. The scope and requirements of each procedure may vary depending on the goods and the regulations of the countries involved.

Import Customs Clearance

Import customs clearance covers the customs procedures required when goods purchased from abroad enter the destination country. The process is planned according to product details, commercial invoices, transport documents, origin information and any applicable permits.

Import operations may involve HS code classification, customs duties, additional financial obligations and product-specific conformity documents. PERS Logistics supports coordination between the logistics operation and customs clearance process, helping maintain communication between the relevant parties.

Export Customs Clearance

Export customs clearance covers the declaration of goods being shipped abroad from Türkiye or another country of departure, as well as the procedures required to complete their export. Depending on the shipment, documents may include commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents, certificates of origin and other relevant paperwork.

Additional permits, certificates or inspection documents may be required depending on the type of goods, destination country and applicable trade agreements. Reviewing shipment details and documentation in advance helps support more effective operational planning.

Transit Customs Procedures

Transit customs procedures apply when goods move from one country to another through an intermediate country or customs territory. Under the relevant transit regime, the point of departure, destination, transit route and applicable guarantee or documentation requirements must be considered.

For international transit shipments, route planning, border crossings, transport documents and coordination of customs procedures are important. PERS Logistics supports the logistics planning and operational coordination of transit shipments.

Key Considerations in Customs Clearance

  • HS Code and product classification: Accurate tariff classification is important for determining applicable duties and regulatory requirements.
  • Commercial documentation: Invoices, packing lists, transport documents, certificates of origin and other required documents should be consistent with shipment details.
  • Taxes and financial obligations: Customs duties, VAT, additional financial obligations and other applicable charges should be assessed according to the product and destination country.
  • Permits and conformity documents: Certain product categories may require specific permits, licences, certificates or technical conformity documents before import or export.
  • Regulations and country-specific requirements: Customs procedures, trade policies and documentation requirements may vary between countries and product categories.

How Does the Customs Clearance Process Work?

  1. Shipment information: The type, quantity and value of the goods, country of origin, and departure and destination points are reviewed.
  2. Document review: Commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents and other required paperwork are checked.
  3. Regulatory assessment: HS code details, applicable duties, permits and conformity requirements are evaluated.
  4. Customs process coordination: Coordination is maintained with relevant customs brokers, carriers and other operational partners.
  5. Transport and delivery planning: Subsequent logistics stages are planned according to the status of customs procedures.
