If your business relies on importing or exporting goods, customs delays can be a costly headache. Whether it’s missing paperwork, incorrect tariff classifications, or last-minute regulation changes, these setbacks can lead to unexpected fees, supply chain disruptions, and unhappy customers.

The good news? Most customs delays are avoidable with the right expertise and preparation.

Why Do Customs Delays Happen?

Common reasons for shipment delays at customs include:

• Incomplete or incorrect documentation – Even small errors can hold up your goods.
