Who submits manifest to customs?
Who submits manifest to customs? The rule requires all ocean carriers or NVOCC's (non vessel operating common carriers) to submit a complete cargo manifest to US Customs at least 24 hours prior to cargo loading if that vessel is calling a US port direct.
What is the final step in the customs clearance process?
Your shipment clears customs once all duties are paid. Once customs clearance is complete, your chosen courier service transports the shipment from customs to the end-destination. Shipments rarely get stuck at customs.
