A quick checklist before submitting a customs declaration to reduce the risk of being asked for more documents.
Documents usually required
Commercial contract, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin when preferential duty applies. Businesses should reconcile HS codes and declared value before filing.
Common mistakes
Wrong HS codes, missing preferential-duty documents, or incorrect units of measure are frequent causes of delayed clearance.
