To initiate the customs clearance process, start by completing the Customs Declaration Form (C82 Form) in quadruplicate. Alongside this, ensure all other essential documents are ready for submission to a Customs Officer at a designated Customs and Excise office.

Once the necessary payments have been made to the customs cashier, your shipments can proceed through customs clearance at the import/export station.

Certain items are subject to restrictions or prohibitions on importation without the requisite licenses. These include live poultry, fish, shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, specific oils and fats, left-hand drive vehicles, used right-hand drive vehicles, and certain hazardous chemicals.
