F.A.Q.

Common Questions

What documents do I need for customs clearance?

Import/export clearance requires several core documents:

  • Commercial Invoice (detailing goods, value, and terms)
  • Packing List (itemizing contents and weights)
  • Bill of Lading or Air Waybill (proof of shipment)
  • Certificate of Origin (if preferential duty rates apply)
  • Import/Export Permits (for regulated goods)

With fully accurate documentation, most shipments clear within a few hours to a couple of days.
Delays can occur due to inspections, incomplete paperwork, or seasonal congestion. We streamline the process with pre-checks and proactive follow-ups so your cargo doesn’t get held up.

A freight forwarder manages the transportation of your cargo from origin to destination, handling logistics, shipping arrangements, and documentation. A customs broker specializes in clearing your goods through customs, ensuring compliance with import/export regulations, and handling duties and taxes. Many companies like ours offer both services, providing you with a seamless, one-stop solution that simplifies your supply chain and reduces coordination headaches.

Absolutely. We manage:

  • Import Clearance – documentation, URA declaration, permits, duties, inspections, and domestic delivery

  • Export Clearance – certifications, country-specific compliance, export permits and cargo release
    We handle the full range to ensure seamless border operations and timely deliveries.

No hidden fees—ArdFreight provides transparent quotes that include:

  • Freight, customs fees, duties, taxes, and handling charges
    We also advise on potential charges like inspections, demurrage, or packaging compliance so you won’t be caught off guard
