Custom Clearance Process

What is customs clearance?

 Customs clearance is a necessary process before items can be imported or exported internationally by air or sea. During this process, the shipper provides the country's customs authority specific documentation to determine any applicable taxes or duties on the item. The type of documents required usually depends on the type of item, country of origin, and destination country.

If the item clears, the delivery can continue on to its destination. Examples of export/import documentation include:
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Insurance Certificate
  • Certificate of Origin

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:

We can’t guarantee that you will or will not be charged customs duties or taxes for overseas shipping. Customs or import duties may be charged once your order reaches its destination country and must be paid by the recipient. The Slow Life are not liable for these charges.

This applies only to International orders outside of the UK.
