Commercial proposal for customs clearance - 6 main elements

Customs clearance

We are a licensed customs declarant, so we carry out the full range of work:

1. Customs clearance of products.
2. Registration of permits.
3. Declaration of export, transit, import cargo.
4. Accurate determination of the amount of all customs duties and duties.
5. Customs clearance under broker's seal.
6. Assistance in obtaining certificates.

Therefore, with us, customs clearance will go smoothly within a predetermined time frame. Work is being carried out at all customs points, including in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Pskov, etc.

Why does the deal fall through?

In 90% of cases, the document does not cover the client’s requirements and wishes for the quality of customs clearance of goods:

• reliability;
• deadlines;
• security;
• cost.

Companies provide the CP with a “dry” list of services and an estimate. At the same time, they forget to indicate the client’s benefits and differentiate themselves from competitors.

A standard CP looks something like this:

As a result, the customer receives 8-10 identical CPs and is at a loss as to which company to choose.

In order not to swim in the “red sea” of sharks, you need to create your own “blue ocean”. In other words, differentiate yourself from your competitors. To do this, it is important to decide what the client wants.
