The Customs Clearance of your cargo is a vital link in the logistics chain, especially in light of the introduction of Cargo Management Re-Engineering (CMR) by the Australian Customs Service. POWERHOUSE can offer you a quality Customs Clearance service covering all ports in Australia. Your clearance requirements can be controlled and serviced from any POWERHOUSE office and cover every port in Australia.

We employ a number of qualified and experienced Brokers who are fully accredited in all Customs and Quarantine requirements. All of our process functions are fully automated, including:

• Entry compilation (from electronically transmitted files)
• Warehoused (under bond) cargo stock control
• Landed costing reports
Under the stringent CMR requirements, the Customs Brokerage you choose must be able to ensure that compliance demands are met. At POWERHOUSE, we have a very high ratio of Licensed Brokers to Operational personnel in our Customs section. All of our staff have a high level of education, are experienced and undertake regular training sessions to ensure that they are up to date with the latest developments in the industry.

Operationally, POWERHOUSE maintains all of your product information in a centralised commodity / parts database management system from which all information is drawn for the completion of Customs entries. We have implemented double and triple-check systems before entries are submitted to Customs to ensure any chance of error is minimised. Furthermore, we undertake periodic reviews of client’s products and the Customs entries we have generated to ensure compliance with CMR is achieved.
