What a customs declaration is and why it is filed
A customs declaration is an official document required by the state when a company trades with foreign countries. It tells the customs authorities what the goods are, which country they come from, which category they belong to and what they are worth.
The declaration is also the primary basis for calculating taxes and customs duties. Every error in this document means both a delay and an additional financial burden.
