Services

Customs & documentation support

Preparation and verification of the shipping document set, coordination with licensed customs representatives and control of filing deadlines.

Most border delays come not from the cargo itself but from documents: a mismatch in the goods description, an incomplete set, or unagreed HS codes. SilkPort Logistics collects and checks documents before departure, aligns the data across all documents and hands the set to licensed customs representatives in the country of clearance. We do not replace a customs broker and do not provide legal services where a licence is required — we are responsible for preparation, completeness and timely transfer of data.

  • Checking invoice, packing list and contract for consistency

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you clear customs yourselves?

    Customs operations are performed by licensed customs representatives in the country of clearance. SilkPort Logistics is responsible for preparing a complete set, transferring the data and controlling deadlines, and supports the client if the customs authority raises queries.

  • Which documents are needed for a first shipment?

    The basic set is the contract, invoice and packing list, plus transport documents. Additional permits depend on the goods and the destination country — we produce the exact list after the cargo is described in the request.
