Proper documentation is a vital part of any international shipment, a recent study has shown that up to 32% of delays are caused by errors or missing information for customs documentation.

Our in-house team of customs experts here at PTI Express ensure your shipments aren’t part of the 32% delayed by improper documentation, get in touch with our customs team to find out more about how we can help ensure your shipments arrive on time.

Optimising Transit Documentation for Ireland Shipping

For shipments moving into Ireland, clear transit documentation helps to ensure common bottlenecks are bypassed at the point of entry. For goods arriving at Dublin port, where congestion can lead to significant arrival delays, moving goods under transit allows free movement through the port. 
Moving the clearance process away from the busy port significantly reduces the risk of delays for consignments, and helps our team to ensure your goods keep moving. 

How Customs Clearance Works

The modern customs process can be very streamlined when the relevant data is submitted correctly. Often done electronically, documents submitted include a commercial invoice, packing list, transport documentation, and where relevant any permits or certificates of origin if required. 

These documents are inspected and verified to ensure no errors are present, and are completed in full. In some instances a physical inspection of the goods may be required, checking for restricted or banned items, or where safety is more important particularly where hazardous goods are concerned. 

This is followed by the duty and tax assessment and clearing any duties or taxes that are required, followed by the release of goods when all documentation is confirmed and any duties are settled.
