Help
with customs clearance
We help prepare the import of a personal purchase or commercial batch: we clarify what is being imported, who is involved and which documents or checks are needed before shipment.
Build a clear plan before filing documents
We clarify the product, purpose of import and country. You learn which documents are missing, who prepares them and what must happen next. An authorised contractor determines the procedure and calculation; OZTA coordinates agreed work. The customs representative’s authority is confirmed for the specific order, while the customs authority decides on release.
- 01
Understand the task and territory
We clarify the country of dispatch and destination, personal or commercial import, transit, a possible temporary regime and the review date. This determines which rules and parties matter.
- 02
Find gaps in the documents
We compare the invoice, packing list, description, photos, manufacturer information and available permits. The result shows what is already available, what the supplier must provide and what requires a separate check.
- 03
Check classification and payments
We compare the product and documents with a possible code, procedure and tax items; the estimate separates mandatory charges from services and third-party costs.
- 04
Record roles and the next step
We identify the importer, declarant, authorised representative, carrier and payer separately: who prepares information, who files documents and who answers requests. The competent authority decides on release.
What you can ask us about
Choose a task if it is already clear. If not, start with a product description. We will determine whether you need a document review, storage, insurance, a separate procedure or a specialist contractor.

What is important to know before ordering
Questions asked before the first customs clearance
How much does customs clearance cost?
The price depends on the goods, country, procedure and documents. The estimate will list the provider’s services, government charges, permits, storage and transport separately. The OZTA fee for separately arranging work is 10% of the confirmed work price, with a minimum of $20 per agreed assignment. This percentage does not apply to government charges, import taxes or the insurance premium.
How long does customs clearance take?
The timeframe cannot be determined without the country, regime, product and complete documents. Requests for information, inspection, data corrections, queues and the customs authority’s decision may affect it; the offer records only a verified scenario and its limits.
How do I calculate customs duty?
A preliminary estimate requires product classification, origin, customs value, regime and place of clearance. We show the source data and what still needs confirmation; the competent authority makes the final assessment and release decision.
What happens if cargo is held by customs?
You need to obtain the notice, understand the reason and prepare the requested information or documents. We help review the next step within the agreed role; the timeframe, additional payments and release depend on the customs authority.
How does EAEU clearance differ from national rules?
The answer depends on the country, product status, route and regime. EAEU and national requirements may overlap, while documents, taxes and controls differ by product category and clearance point. The transaction requires a check of current official requirements rather than a universal comparison.
Which customs services can be ordered separately?
You can order a separate service: a preliminary document review, clearance organisation, certification, storage or insurance. We first check the product, country and contractor’s role, then agree the scope, price and limits.
Do you file electronic declarations? How does this speed things up?
The filing format depends on the territory, regime and authority of the declarant or representative. An electronic channel does not remove document, information-request or inspection requirements; we confirm the possibility and procedure for the specific transaction.
What happens if goods are declared incorrectly?
Consequences depend on the nature of the error, territory, regime and authority’s decision: additional documents, amended information, recalculated charges, delays or other measures under applicable law may follow. That is why description, value, origin and documents must be checked before filing; the parties’ responsibility is recorded in the agreement.
How do I start customs clearance through OZTA?
Send the country and point of clearance, product description and purpose, invoice, packing list, origin, delivery terms and available permits. We will clarify missing information, outline the applicable scenario and prepare the next step with separate terms and responsible parties.
We can help clarify the clearance process
