Mabna Logistics, a subsidiary of SEALAND-CARGO, handles all customs clearance procedures with over 25 years of experience. Customs clearance involves completing all necessary formalities and steps to release goods from customs. This process begins with registering the goods in the EPL system and requires submission of complete documents such as the bill of lading, proforma invoice, and warehouse receipt. After paying duties and obtaining the necessary permits, the goods are released from customs.

Main Steps of Customs Clearance

Registering Goods in the EPL System:
The importer or their representative declares the goods in the EPL (Single Window for Foreign Trade) system.

Submitting Documents:
Required documents include the bill of lading, proforma invoice, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, insurance policy, and any special permits for the goods.

Obtaining Necessary Permits:
Certain goods require authorization from relevant authorities such as Ministry of Health and Medical Education, , Iran National Standards Organization, or Department of Environment.

Tariff Review and Goods Verification:
Customs experts review the goods’ tariff codes and verify their compliance with submitted documents.

Clearance Routes:
Based on assessment, goods are assigned to green (no inspection), yellow (document review by virtual expert), or red (physical inspection) routes.

Payment of Duties and Taxes:
Import duties and taxes are calculated and must be paid by the cargo owner.

Issuance of Clearance Document:
After completing formalities and settling payments, the customs clearance document is issued.
