Preparing cargo
for customs clearance
We review the goods and documents, estimate duties and taxes, and coordinate clearance with trusted partners. Preparation is connected to the arrival plan and onward delivery.

AVA / VISUAL INTERPRETATIONStart with the goods
We need the intended use, composition and technical characteristics, country of origin and delivery terms. For equipment from China, such as a machine, we align the model, functions, configuration and technical description with supplier documents. Photos and technical materials can follow after the first conversation.
Classification and permits
We review the information for tariff classification under the EAEU commodity nomenclature and check which permits or compliance documents may be needed for the goods. If the description is incomplete, we clarify specifications with the client and supplier. Required steps are agreed before arrival; preliminary work does not guarantee a classification or release decision.
Align documents before arrival
We compare the contract, invoice, packing list and transport documents: goods description and quantity, value, delivery terms and participant details. Payment arrangements and origin information are also considered. We work through missing or inconsistent details with the client and supplier in advance.
Estimate charges and expenses
The preliminary estimate uses the goods description, proposed classification, value and import terms. Preparation, clearance and cargo handling costs are agreed separately. We state the assumptions: changes to specifications, documents or terms may change the estimated duties, taxes and total cost.
Coordinate the participants
The client provides accurate information and documents and takes part in clarifications and approvals. Your AVA manager connects preparation, estimated charges and the arrival plan. We arrange clearance with trusted partners; the shipment agreement defines who lodges the declaration and in which role. Customs authorities make control and release decisions.
After release and the next step
After clearance, we coordinate handover for onward delivery. Transport, storage, delivery to the address and unloading are included only within the agreed scope. Start by describing the goods, country of origin, route, shipment stage and preferred timing. If documents are available, your manager will clarify which are needed for assessment.
AVA provides customs expertise and coordinates clearance with trusted partners. Preparation does not replace customs authority decisions or rule out requests for further information or subsequent checks.
