Customs clearance stages
Customs clearance, as one of the important processes in import, has specific stages, which we will get to know in the following:
Registering an order and obtaining an import permit
The first step for goods clearance is to register an import order through the Comprehensive Trade System, or order registration in the NTSW system. After registering the order, you must obtain the necessary permits for importing goods from the relevant authorities, such as the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade. This stage is necessary to ensure the legality of the goods’ entry.
Receiving a bill of lading
After the bill of lading is issued by the shipping company, you must receive it from the relevant company and prepare its information for the next stages of clearance. This document is necessary to identify the goods at customs.
Submitting documents and customs declaration
At this stage, you must submit the required documents, including a commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin, proforma invoice and other documents to customs. You must also complete a customs declaration including detailed information about the goods, their value and type and submit it to customs. Preparing and submitting documents on time prevents delays and potential problems in the clearance process.
Paying Customs Duties and Taxes
After the goods are assessed and approved, you must pay the customs duties and taxes related to the goods. The amount of these fees is calculated based on the type and value of the goods. After payment, a payment receipt is issued that you must submit to customs.
Receiving Approval and Clearing Goods
After receiving the documents, customs thoroughly examine the goods for compliance with the information and documents provided and conducts the necessary health, safety or technical tests, especially for special goods such as food and pharmaceuticals. After assessing the quality and thoroughly examining the goods, the customs label and other documents related to the clearance of the goods are issued by customs.
Clearance of goods from customs
Finally, after receiving the customs label and paying the fees including warehousing costs, unloading and loading costs, insurance of the goods, etc., the goods are ready to be delivered to the owner of the goods or its importer. These goods can be transferred from customs by the importer or his representative and sent to the final destination.
After completing these steps, the goods are cleared through customs legally and without any problems. It is best to archive the import documentation after clearance, as it is essential for any future legal investigations or proceedings.
Tariffs for clearing car spare parts
The clearance of car spare parts differs for each product and part, and depending on various factors, there are different prices and tariffs for their clearance. For example, different categories of car spare parts such as electrical parts, suspension systems, engine parts, car bodies, etc., have different customs tariffs that must be paid by importers to the country’s customs. Customs tariffs for car spare parts are also determined based on the value of the goods, type of part, country of origin, various trade conditions and laws, valuation of the goods, etc.
In addition to the customs tariff, there are other costs in the process of clearing car spare parts that must be considered. Other ancillary costs include domestic transportation costs, value-added tax, warehousing costs, etc., which must be taken into account.
