Airport Clearing

Handle urgent air shipments with fast airport processing, disciplined follow-up, and smooth onward dispatch.

What Is Airport Clearing?

Airport clearing is the process of handling all customs, documentation, and regulatory requirements for cargo arriving or departing through an international airport. It covers everything from the moment a consignment lands to the point where it is released and ready for onward delivery.

At Exclusive Logistics International, we manage this process on your behalf — so your time-sensitive air cargo moves through Roberts International Airport and other air entry points without unnecessary delays, compliance failures, or costly demurrage.

Why Airport Clearing Demands a Specialist

Air freight moves fast. That speed is its greatest advantage — but it also means there is very little margin for error when it comes to documentation, customs processing, and airport authority coordination.

A missed declaration, an incomplete consignment note, or a slow response to a query from the Liberia Revenue Authority can hold your shipment at the airport for days. For perishables, pharmaceuticals, project materials, or emergency consignments, that delay can be extremely costly.

That is why businesses and development partners across Liberia trust Exclusive Logistics International to keep their air cargo moving.

Our Airport Clearing Process

1. Pre-Arrival Documentation Review

Before your cargo lands, we review the airway bill, commercial invoice, packing list, and any permits or certificates required by the relevant authorities. We identify and resolve documentation gaps before they become holding issues at the airport.

2. Customs Declaration & ASYCUDA Processing

We prepare and submit accurate customs declarations through the ASYCUDA system on your behalf. Our team ensures all tariff classifications, values, and descriptions are correct, reducing the risk of queries, reassessments, or penalties from customs officers.

3. Airport Authority Coordination

We liaise directly with Roberts International Airport ground handlers, the Liberia Airport Authority, and the Liberia Revenue Authority to facilitate smooth examination, assessment, and release of your consignment.

4. Duty Assessment & Payment Facilitation

We calculate the applicable duties and taxes, advise you promptly on the amounts due, and support you through the payment process to avoid any hold on cargo release.

5. Cargo Release & Collection

Once all documentation is approved and duties settled, we oversee physical release of the cargo and coordinate collection or onward dispatch — whether to your warehouse, project site, or end recipient.

6. Post-Clearance Follow-Up

We do not stop at release. Our team provides documentation records and follows up to confirm successful delivery, giving you a clean paper trail for compliance, audit, and reporting purposes.
