How to Reduce International Customs Clearance Delays

Fulfyld offers our clients a variety of international shipping services. Packages getting held up by customs clearance departments can be frustrating and time-consuming. The tips below are some of the easiest ways to avoid customs delays before the shipping label is generated.

Delays are often caused by a lack of information available. By providing all the necessary information at the time the label is generated, it will help the carriers get your shipments to their destination quickly and efficiently.

Fulfyld transmits our international shipping documentation electronically, which enables carriers to have a smoother customs clearance process. Please ensure the following information is available in our Warehouse Management Software:

If the name and contact information are collected when the order is placed, these details will automatically be imported into our software via the API integration. The declared value will also be imported with the product information.

The other details, highlighted in yellow, can be uploaded to our software anytime. We encourage you to contact your account manager, and we can help find and add this information to our system if it’s not already there.
