Risks and Countermeasures of Grey Customs Clearance in International Trade
In international trade, the buyer may request the goods to be sent to a third party, especially a customs clearance company, to accelerate the customs clearance process and reduce taxes and fees. This practice is particularly common in countries such as Russia and Brazil. However, it also brings a series of risks, especially when the buyer refuses to pay. Exporters need to pay attention to retaining all relevant original trade documents and ensuring the transparency of capital flows to protect their rights and interests in case of risks.
