Customs clearance involves the process of a country allowing goods to be either shipped in or out of the country. The first step is the shipper correctly preparing documentation for shipping. Next, a customs officer will check the paperwork and see if any taxes/duties need to be applied. If taxes haven’t been paid, the officer will request payment – this is done via DDU(Deliver duty unpaid) and DDP(Deliver duty paid.) Once the taxes have been paid, the shipment is allowed to finish the journey.
