Customs clearance at the airport
What is customs service?
Customs services or Logistics customs services, Customs declaration services are the tasks that the service company performs to clear goods for the customer's import and export shipments. In return, the service party will receive a service fee according to the agreement.
Customs service has 2 options:
- Customs declaration: The unit or individual providing the service uses a letter of introduction on behalf of the owner of the goods to carry out customs clearance procedures. The name of the service provider does not appear on the customs documents.
- Customs agent: Service companies (individuals are not allowed to do this) use their own name and digital signature to declare and copy documents to submit customs documents. Service companies use their own name to provide services.
Each of the above forms has advantages and disadvantages for the shipper. For example, the customs declaration service is very popular. The advantage is that it is convenient for both the customer and the service provider. However, the disadvantage is that the service provider does not appear and take responsibility for the procedures, so in some cases it brings risks to the lessee.
Regardless of the two directions above, it means that the owner of the goods uses the services of another party to carry out customs procedures for his goods.

Why do we need a full customs service?
Whether it is necessary or not, it is important to understand why businesses or shippers prefer full customs services. Here are the main reasons we have felt:
- No experience: not knowing the specific procedures to clear a shipment, so want to hire a service to do it from start to finish, until the goods are cleared.
- Want to hire a service provider to do it all?: instead of having to hire several service providers, each of whom does a few steps to complete.
- Reduce the risk of unexpected costs: New import-export companies are often afraid of additional costs. Partly because they do not understand what operations may arise and what additional costs may be incurred.
