Customs Readiness

Customs Readiness prepares one shipment into one destination market for clearance: up to 10 product lines classified, the duty and tax worked out, and the documents customs expects, in seven working days.

The goods are made and the broker is asking for codes and documents you have never seen before. Get the code wrong and you pay the wrong duty, or the shipment sits at the port while somebody works out who was right.

You can buy an HS code online for the price of a coffee. What comes back is a lookup — a number with nothing behind it and no answer when customs asks why. We do the classification properly: the code, the written reasoning for it, the duty and tax arithmetic for your destination market, and the full document set that has to travel with the goods. That is what stands up when the entry is questioned.

Price: $1,500 — fixed price. Turnaround: 7 working days.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — ready to file, fix these items first, or stop and rethink the product — plus the single classification point most likely to be challenged. Not a data dump; a decision.

What you receive

• Up to 10 product lines classified, each with the written reasoning behind the code
• Duty, tax and any other charge calculated for 1 destination market
• The document set for 1 shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, certificate of origin where it applies
• The 2 or 3 points most likely to be challenged, flagged before anything is filed
• A readiness verdict in 7 working days

Best for

• A first shipment into a new market
• Goods that could sit under more than one code
• A broker who keeps asking for documents you do not have

Not for: This is document and classification preparation, not customs brokerage. GEB is not a licensed customs broker, does not file entries, and does not give legal or tariff-ruling advice. Only the customs authority in your destination market can rule on a classification, and only a licensed broker there can file. Bring our work to yours.

Frequently asked questions

Who decides the final code?

Customs does. Our job is to give you a defensible code, the reasoning behind it and the duty arithmetic, so your broker files with something solid.

My product could fit two codes. What then?

We show both, say which one we would file, and show what the difference costs you per shipment.

What do you need from me?

Product details, materials, photos, the supplier invoice and your destination market. The checkout questionnaire walks you through it.
