CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

Comprehensive Customs Clearance Services

Core Services

1. Document Compliance
   • Customs Declaration Forms: Miracle Logistics’ experts meticulously prepare customs declaration forms, ensuring that all information, such as the description of goods, quantity, value, and country of origin, is accurate and in line with customs regulations. These forms serve as the primary means of communication with customs authorities and are essential for a smooth clearance process.
   • Commercial Invoices and Packing Lists: The company also creates detailed commercial invoices and packing lists (INV). Commercial invoices provide a breakdown of the cost of goods, including the price per unit, total value, and any additional charges. Packing lists, on the other hand, list the contents of each package, helping customs officers to verify the goods during inspections.
   • Certificates of Origin (COO): Miracle Logistics is proficient in obtaining Certificates of Origin (COO). These certificates are crucial as they determine the origin of goods, which can impact the applicable tariff rates and trade preferences. The team ensures that the COO is properly issued and authenticated, enabling clients to benefit from preferential trade agreements.
2. Risk Management
   • Regulatory Risk Identification: In an era of strict international regulations, Miracle Logistics stays ahead of the curve by proactively identifying potential risks associated with regulations such as the EU’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) and the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark. For example, when dealing with chemical – based products, the company assesses whether they comply with REACH requirements, ensuring that clients do not face costly penalties or delays.
   • Hazardous Goods Classification and SDS Submission: When handling hazardous goods, Miracle Logistics accurately classifies them according to international standards. It also prepares and submits Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which provide essential information about the properties, hazards, and safety precautions related to the goods. This helps customs authorities to handle the goods safely and ensures compliance with relevant regulations.
3. Inspection Coordination
   • Customs Inspection Liaison: In the event of a customs inspection, Miracle Logistics acts as the main point of contact. The company coordinates with customs officers, providing them with all the necessary information and documentation. This includes making arrangements for the inspection location, ensuring that the goods are accessible, and facilitating the inspection process.
   • Goods Sampling and Translation Services: During inspections, customs officers may request samples of the goods for further analysis. Miracle Logistics is equipped to handle this by providing professional translation services for any product – related documentation. This ensures that customs officers can understand the information about the goods, which is particularly important for products with instructions or labels in languages other than the local language.
