Why does every company have an import-export department and import-export officers but still need customs declaration and clearance services from customs declaration service providers, also known as customs brokerage ? 

There are a few reasons we need to agree that it's a matter of efficiency. A company specializing in Customs declaration services, making several dozen declarations at the same time a day will be faster and more effective than a single company making one declaration. 

Firstly, the advantage of quantity helps companies providing Customs declaration services, also known as Customs brokerage, such as DH logistics, to provide the most optimal cost of goods handling. 30 declarations/day and it's the same every day is a quantity advantage like wholesale versus retail. 

The second is about distance and speed . Companies providing Customs declaration services, also known as Customs brokerage such as DH Logistics, always have officers on duty at sites to answer and react to questions and requests from Customs officers. officials at that area because they need to monitor and make many declarations at the same time. All bottlenecks and delays need to be eliminated otherwise a whole series of declarations will be delayed and affect the entire chain behind. 

Third, save resources for customers. Providing reasonable costs from working in large quantities and regularly has partly saved the cost of declaring Customs procedures for businesses when working alone. In addition, for established shipments, customers will benefit from the experience and knowledge of DH logistics' professional staff. In addition, customers do not need to send import-export officers to complete Customs declaration procedures for one or two single shipments lasting 1 to 2 working days, but only need to prepare and send documents for DH logistics and everything is carried out professionally and methodically, 1 day for yellow and green channels and 2 days for red channels.
