Preparing for Customs Clearance

Before initiating your Customs clearance, an essential step: verify that your goods comply with all regulatory requirements. Restrictions, prohibitions, licenses/authorizations, standards, and trade policy measures…: the TARIFF via conex™ solution, a true Customs Encyclopedia, supports you.
Thorough upstream verification secures your declaration, limits the risks of blocking or reassessment, and streamlines your import and export operations.

Assigning the correct Customs code (HS/CN/TARIC) is the key to reliable Customs clearance. This classification depends on the nature, composition, function, and use of your product. It is a prerequisite for Customs clearance as it determines duties and taxes, potential restrictions, and supporting documents to be attached to the declaration. With our software featuring TARIFF via conex™, the Customs tariff, updated in real-time, its sections, chapters, sub-chapters, and associated notes finally become simple to use.

Based on your product description, our conversational AI agent ALBA guides you step-by-step. It analyzes the product’s nature, material, function, and use, asks the right questions to refine the search, and automatically queries the TARICTARIC is the EU’s official database containing the tariff and non-tariff measures applicable to imported and exported go… database and Customs rules. The result is a reasoned, reliable classification proposal, ready for your validation for use in your Customs clearance.

To guarantee fast and unblocked Customs clearance, it is essential to compile a complete and compliant file from the outset: commercial invoice, packing list, transport documents, required certificates, etc.

Our collaborative Customs clearance platform ZEN via conex™ simplifies this key step. It allows the declarant or principal to prepare a structured file in advance, within which each authorized operator can deposit the necessary documents and information.

Result: data centralization, better coordination among stakeholders, and optimal preparation of the Customs declaration for faster and more secure processing.

A declaration file often involves several actors: purchasing department, logistics, carriers, suppliers, declarant, etc. Each exchanges documents, information, or validations essential for Customs clearance.

By bringing all these stakeholders together in a collaborative space such as ZEN via conex™, you centralize every interaction, eliminate scattered back-and-forth, and streamline file preparation within a single declaration file. Thanks to targeted access, each operator instantly visualizes progress, missing items, and actions to be taken.

Result: clear, shared monitoring without loss of information.
