Customs Clearance of Export-Import Cargoes
One of the main fields of activity of United Ways Agency is customs clearance of export-import cargoes.
Customs clearance is an important and labor-intensive process where each step shall be well-grounded and supported by specific knowledge and certain connections that help to avoid additional expenses and waste of time.
The Ukrainian legislation is constantly changing and is affected by new political trends. At such moments of certain destabilization a situation occurs when every mistake of yours at foreign economic activity may cost you a lot.
For example, for importer a situation may occur when the customs cost, i.e. tax basis, is constantly growing. Correspondingly, the self-cost of your product is growing, and, unfortunately, you profit is decreasing.
On the other hand, the situation when through the brokers’ mistake the process of customs clearance takes unacceptably long time happens quite often. In this connection importer or exporter bears additional expenses, at that the profit decreases and, correspondingly, business profitability leaves much to be desired.
The owner of the cargo has to pay for transport vehicle downtime, demurrage of containers, and delay damages amerced by the clients for slower delivery. But the worst thing is that the reputation of a reliable supplier or manufacturer could be destroyed, sometimes fatally.

Taking into account all the above said and the risks in foreign economic activity field that we mentioned above it is possible to say that quite often it is more effective to use the resources of the company specializing in rendering the services in the field of foreign economic activity than to risk and take the way of trial and error trying to organize the functioning of own foreign economic department. It is a reasonable decision because in case the obligations are not fulfilled you could get from you own foreign economic department nothing but explanations and promises that it would not happen again, but with the outsourced company you have the contractual relations that envisage the penal sanctions.
