It should be begun with study of clauses during negotiations with partners, from specification of the list of given documents, terms of delivery and questions of not tariff adjustment.

  To avoid unjustified financial and time costs, it is desirable to involve the specialist in this discussion - the customs broker. It will help to conclude the bargain with consequences as much as possible favourable to the subsequent customs clearance of cargoes, will allow to minimise financial and time costs.
