Entry summary filing

Entry summary filing is a process used by importers to provide customs authorities with detailed information about goods arriving into a country. It includes details like the type, value, origin, and classification of the products. This information helps customs determine the correct duties and ensure compliance with regulations. Typically submitted electronically before or at the time the goods arrive, the entry summary enables a smooth clearance process, facilitating timely release of shipments while ensuring necessary legal and tax requirements are met efficiently.
