customs clerance

... customs clearance or other special procedures, temporary admission, customs warehousing, end-use procedures, and processing. If customs clearance is carried out under a special procedure, a follow-up procedure must be anticipated by the importer, exporter, and customs clearance service provider. In the majority of cases, customs clearance services are carried out by agents based on direct representation. This signifies that although the import clearance agent enters data into the declaration on behalf of the declarant and submits the declaration, the importer is deemed to be the declarant.
