Frequently Asked Questions

How long does customs clearance take?

Timing depends on cargo type, document readiness, and customs post. Standard clearance takes from one to several business days. If all documents are ready, the timeline may be shorter.

How much does customs clearance cost?

The cost depends on product type, value, volume, and shipment specifics. To calculate the cost, share the details. We will provide information after reviewing the shipment.

Which documents are needed for customs clearance?

Usually, an invoice, packing list, contract, transport documents, and compliance documents are required, depending on the product type. We check completeness in advance.

How are customs payments calculated?

Customs payments include customs duty, VAT, and customs fee. Calculation is based on customs value, HS code, and country of origin. We calculate before submitting the declaration.

What affects duty amount?

Key factors are HS code, country of origin, customs value, and product type. Trade agreements between countries may also affect duties.

How is the HS code determined?

The code is determined based on product characteristics: purpose, composition, and method of use. We help classify the product correctly, because duties and required documents depend on it.

Can customs be cleared without a broker?

Formally, yes. But it requires relevant permissions, knowledge of regulations, and experience working with customs authorities. Most companies use a broker to reduce risks and save time.

Which customs posts do you work with?

We support clearance at Kazakhstan’s main customs posts: Almaty, Astana, Nur Zholy, Altynkol, Shymkent, and other posts.

Do you help with compliance documents?

Yes. We help determine which compliance documents are needed for a specific product and support their preparation. More details are on the “Permits and Compliance Documents” page.

Do you work with import and export?

Yes, we work with both import and export shipments.

Can I get only a consultation?

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp or call. We will explain what is needed for a specific shipment and what to pay attention to.
