Our Customs Clearance Process
Documentation and Compliance:

Our team acts as a liaison between you and the relevant government agencies, facilitating efficient communication and resolving any potential issues that may arise during the clearance process.
Duties and Taxes Calculation
Danube calculates the applicable duties, taxes, and fees based on the customs regulations of the destination country. Our team works diligently to optimize cost savings by identifying duty relief programs, free trade agreements, and other customs incentives that your shipments may qualify for.
Customs Inspections and Examinations
In some cases, customs authorities may conduct inspections or examinations of goods to ensure compliance with regulations. If such inspections are required, Danube coordinates and assists in the process, ensuring all necessary documentation and procedures are in place for a smooth inspection experience.
Customs Clearance and Delivery
Once customs clearance is obtained, Danube coordinates the final steps of the process, including arranging for the release of goods from customs custody.
