Welcome to the website of Elite Aria Jam Company, a provider of cargo clearance services. Please stay with us until the end of the article to learn more about cargo clearance.
What is clearance?
Clearing goods through customs is a process that is carried out by the owners of the goods or their legal representatives. The steps of this process are defined in accordance with Article 1, Clause B of the Customs Affairs Law and are implemented at customs offices for the purpose of importing or exporting goods.
Through the legal clearance procedures, the goods are released from customs locations after completing the related customs formalities. These steps, universally referred to as the goods clearance procedure, include activities such as: preparing the necessary documents and records, registering these documents and records manually or electronically, and calculating the applicable fees (tax, commercial profit, customs duties, etc.).
Introducing the goods clearance system
The goods clearance system is a database that answers all questions regarding customs, export and import, goods clearance, warehousing, etc.
This system is managed under the supervision of individuals who have complete knowledge of all goods clearance matters and the aforementioned regulations, and who answer any questions that respected merchants and goods owners have about the goods clearance process.
This website must provide comprehensive information about warehouses, precise details regarding storage locations and conditions, as well as their capacity to its audience. The Goods Clearance System offers accurate information regarding cargo clearance to goods owners.
Steps for importing goods
After the shipment arrives at customs—which is done via cargo transport vehicles or transit—the goods are stored in customs warehouses until, after completing the clearance procedures, the goods are released from the warehouse and handed over to the cargo owner. The clearance process requires sufficient expertise due to its specialized nature and the complexity of regulations. Below, we provide a full description of the stages of cargo clearance from the moment the goods arrive at customs until their release:
• Preparing documents and entering information: In the first stage, which is the stage of preparing documents, the owners of the goods must know what documents to prepare!
Some of these documents include: import declaration, copy of the business license, warehouse receipts, clearance permit, bill of lading, purchase invoice, certificate of origin, proforma invoice (also referred to as ‘proforma’), insurance policy, packing list, order registration permit, export license, and official power of attorney (for cases involving import against export), among others.
One important thing to note is that the number of pages on your declaration depends on how many items you are importing. After you have filled out the declaration manually, you must register it in the customs electronic system.
* Obtaining the registration number (Cottage) at the verification and routing determination office: This stage involves verifying the identity of the cargo owner and declaring the goods.
The identification department, which is a technical department in customs, first reviews the documents and, if approved, your shipment will be given a registration number (cottage).
Cottage is the registration of an export or import declaration of goods in the Customs. After you are given a cottage registration number, the declaration is sealed.
• Detailed evaluation and control stage of the goods: According to the route determined for your shipment, in this stage, a detailed evaluation and complete control of the shipment is carried out.
At customs offices, due to manpower shortages and the need to save time while maintaining control over procedures, a Risk Management System is employed, utilizing three pathways for cargo clearance: Green, Yellow, and Red.
If your shipment is assigned to either the Yellow or Red pathway, the shipment requires inspection. In this case, the packaging and seals of the goods are opened and the shipment is inspected by a customs appraiser, who verifies its contents against the accompanying documents. This inspection only requires the authorization of the head of the relevant customs service.
After successfully passing this stage, the declared value of the cargo, customs records, and other methods of determining value are examined in the valuation circle.
•Obtaining Required Permits: This stage is dedicated to completing the necessary documentation. Required permits in this section include those from Quarantine, Standards, Health, Medical Equipment, Jihad (Agriculture), Ministry of Roads, and others.
• Determination of tariff and conformity of goods by service experts: In addition to checking the tariff and conformity of goods, the service expert monitors the documents and entry requirements.
• Cash settlement and issuance of clearance document: After the payable fee is determined by customs, the owner of the shipment must deposit it in the form of a cash receipt into the customs account.
• Warehousing and loading permit: After the formalities have been completed at the inspection service.
In all three mentioned pathways, once the permit is stamped and the clearance document is issued—and after the relevant settlements are completed with the transport company upon receiving the warehouse receipt—the customs office issues the loading permit.
Here too, an amount is collected from the cargo owners as a storage fee by the goods security officials.
• Clearance of goods from customs and delivery to the owner of the goods: After completing all the work related to clearance of goods, the owner of the cargo receives the “warehouse receipt” from the warehouseman.
This bill of lading is issued by the warehouseman after checking the exit stamp registration, indicating that the goods have been delivered to their owner.
After that, the owner of the goods enters her vehicle into the customs area and loads the goods to leave the customs warehouse door.

Air cargo clearance
Air freight clearance is a term in air transportation, and utilizing this method requires familiarity with its specific terms and concepts. As you know, air transport is one of the modes of transportation.
The regulations and laws for air freight vary for each type of goods. Most traders and businesses who urgently need their goods to reach their destination in the shortest possible time use this method of transportation. In this mode of transport, an Air Way Bill (AWB), which serves as a receipt and document of ownership for the goods, is issued to the consignee.
The steps for customs clearance in air freight are as follows:
• Receiving the Air Waybill: After receiving the Air Waybill, the consignment owners, by contacting an air freight company, obtain a delivery order which is provided to them for receiving the goods. Owners can also track the clearance status of their goods by visiting the companies’ websites or in person.
• Cargo: The literal meaning of this word is transportation, but in Iran it is used for air transportation. Cargo refers to the transportation of goods by cargo planes. After the stages of work in cargo are completed, the stage of air clearance of the goods arrives.
