Customs Clearance Coordination
We organize the shipment file and coordinate with the appointed broker; the importer remains responsible for accurate declarations and eligibility.
Direct answer
Shipments that need a clean handoff between freight and brokerage
Customs clearance coordination connects the importer, broker, forwarder and shipment file before arrival. The forwarder can organize the handoff and status follow-up, while the importer remains responsible for accurate data, eligibility and records.

Service questions
Before booking customs clearance from China.
Can a customs broker decide the HS code for me?+
A broker can assist, but the importer should provide accurate product facts and approve the classification approach. The declaration must remain supportable.
When should customs documents be reviewed?+
Before cargo departure, early enough to correct parties, descriptions, values, permits or product records without missing the transport cutoff.
Does customs release mean the shipment is delivered?+
No. Terminal availability, payment, pickup, appointments and final delivery still need to occur after release.
