Questions about this service
Is freight forwarding the same as customs clearance?
Forwarding coordinates the transport movement; customs clearance concerns the declaration and applicable authority requirements. Sheffield can connect the agreed services, but the quotation should show their separate responsibilities and charges.
Does arrival mean the goods are ready for delivery?
No. Confirm the applicable customs, agency, carrier and terminal releases, receiving arrangements and agreed payment position before organising delivery.
