Customs, refers to the governmental authority responsible for regulating the movement of goods across international borders. Customs agencies enforce import and export regulations, including tariffs, duties, and documentation requirements, to ensure compliance with trade laws and facilitate the smooth flow of goods. In container shipping, customs clearance is a crucial step where customs officials verify the contents of containers, inspect documentation, and assess duties and taxes before allowing the shipment to enter or leave a country. Efficient customs procedures are essential for minimizing delays and ensuring the timely delivery of goods in international trade.

The customs officer examines and confirms the information provided in the transport document, which is typically generated by the carrier. This document contains essential details about the shipment, such as the contents, quantity, origin, and destination. Additionally, the officer reviews the advance manifest submitted by the carrier. This manifest includes a comprehensive list of all goods being transported, enabling the customs officer to assess the cargo's compliance with relevant regulations and to ensure proper documentation for clearance purposes.
The customs officer evaluates the information provided in the advance manifest to determine whether it aligns with the details presented in the transport document. If everything matches up and meets the necessary regulatory requirements, the officer can proceed to approve the clearance by confirming the conformity of the container with the transport document information. This confirmation can be done through a digital platform by clicking on a "conform clearance". Alternatively, if discrepancies or issues arise during the inspection or verification process, the officer has the authority to cancel the clearance request until the matter is resolved. This ensures that only compliant shipments are allowed to proceed through customs.
