Customs clearance is the official process by which goods are authorized to enter or exit a country, involving regulatory compliance, document submission, payment of duties, and inspection procedures as required by law.
An apparel company importing garments from overseas must complete customs clearance at the port of entry by submitting required documents, paying import duties, and obtaining government release before the goods can be distributed to stores.

Key documents often include a commercial invoice, bill of lading, packing list, certificate of origin, and any required permits or licenses.
Customs clearance time varies by country and shipment complexity, ranging from a few hours for straightforward cases to several days if inspections or additional paperwork are required.
