Customs Paperwork
Dedicated Customer Teams & Agile Services
Customs Are Not Complicated Anymore
Some of the orders that go through Merkana are subject to customs clearance. All products within the order, their types, prices, currency, applicable local VAT, tariff codes etc. are used to prepare accurate and well-structured documents for the customs. When we do the export-import, we are using this information to ensure that all transactions and stock movement are properly registered. This way there are no sudden surprises nor hidden fees for the end customer when they are getting their parcels in the country of destination.
No Hidden Fees
When you sell with Merkana everything is fully transparent and well documented. You just upload your products data in our platform and you specify the country of destination and the amount you want to get in your local currency if this product is being ordered on some of our marketplaces or alternative sales channels.
Then our built-in calculator adds up transportation fees, customs fees, local VAT in the country of destination, any commissions (if applicable), last mile delivery price, current exchange rate etc. This is how end customers get their final price and can order your product with peace of mind. They will get what they have ordered and it will be delivered to them in their local currency, with a local courier. Moreover, they won’t have to deal with customs, because we would have done it already for both you and them.
Accurate Data for Customs
As long as you send us your products’ data well arranged, accurate and in the proper structure, we can assure you that we will deal with local customs seamlessly. If you don’t have this data we will help you arrange it accordingly.
Supporting Documentation
Sometimes when the customs require any supporting documentation from us to ensure proper customs clearance process, we might request it from you. That’s why we suggest to upload everything upfront in our core platform and have this information closer to you.

Why is Customs Paperwork Important?
