Customs & Compliance

Customs coordination and compliance support to keep cross-border flows predictable, audit-ready and aligned with your internal governance.

Customs and Compliance

Customs is a control point in international logistics. LOGIX supports shippers who require disciplined documentation, clear ownership, and practical coordination across carriers, brokers and internal stakeholders. We focus on getting the basics consistently right: data quality, deadlines, correct documentation, and traceable decisions when exceptions occur.

What we deliver

We support import and export processes by coordinating customs activities, documentation readiness, and compliance steps within the shipment file. This can include preparation and review of shipping data, alignment with Incoterms responsibilities, and coordination with your appointed customs broker or clearance parties where applicable.

Key capabilities

Customs coordination across modes

  • Alignment of customs steps with ocean, air and road execution

  • Deadline and cut-off management for export and import processes

  • Practical handover control between shipper, warehouse, broker and carrier

Documentation readiness and file discipline

  • Structured checks on shipping data and supporting documents

  • Consistency control across invoice, packing list and transport data

  • Traceable file history to support internal audit and compliance review

Operating model

Our approach is process-driven: scope confirmation upfront, structured document checks before cut-offs, and clear escalation when classification, licensing, or document mismatches could impact clearance.

Classification and data quality support

  • Support to structure HS code and product data inputs from your organisation

  • Consistent reference and item-level data to reduce rework and delays

  • Escalation when data gaps or mismatches affect clearance risk

Regulated and controlled goods support

  • Coordination of additional documentation requirements where applicable

  • Alignment on permits, certificates or statements needed for specific cargo types

  • Document readiness planning before cargo handover to reduce holds

  1. Scope confirmation
    Responsibilities, broker interface, documents required, milestones, and escalation contacts.

  2. Data and document readiness
    Shipping data validated and supporting documents aligned to the shipment plan and deadlines.

  3. Coordination and execution
    Customs steps coordinated with the physical flow and handovers at origin and destination.

  4. Close-out and traceability
    Document completion, file close and traceable history for audit or internal review.

Exception management and governance

  • Early escalation when customs-related risks appear

  • Documented action options with impact on lead time and cost

  • Alignment with your internal compliance requirements and stakeholders

Scope and broker interface

We align ownership and interfaces upfront to avoid ambiguity in clearance execution.

Typical alignment items:

  • Importer or exporter of record responsibilities

  • Broker appointment and communication route

  • Document ownership, deadlines and approvals

Document controls

Customs performance depends on clean data and complete documentation.

Controls include:

  • Invoice and packing list consistency checks

  • Transport document alignment with commercial data

  • Structured file completeness before cut-offs

Regulated requirements

Where applicable, we coordinate additional compliance steps and documentation.

Examples:

  • Certificates, statements or licences required for specific goods

  • Alignment with internal compliance checks and approvals

  • Planning to avoid holds caused by late or incomplete documents
