In daily use, it is the situation that is requested to be explained in sentences such as whether the product has been customs cleared or whether the product has been customs cleared in importing companies. Customs procedures have laws. These laws vary according to each country. States need customs duties. They apply these taxes according to their own strategies. There are main reasons that differentiate customs laws between countries, such as the economic development goals of countries, the desire to protect their industries in strategic directions. Differences in customs laws cause differences in customs procedures between countries.
The transactions carried out for the export of products from the seller's own country are called Export Customs Clearance. The customs to which the product will be subjected when entering the buyer's country is called Import Costums Clearance. 
Generally, export customs clearance is carried out by exporters in all delivery methods. The exporter pays the costs and customs duties incurred during export. 
Import customs clearance is carried out by importers in all delivery types except DDP delivery type. The costs and taxes incurred during the import phase are paid by the importer. 
For example, a company importing food to Europe fulfills its delivery responsibility after performing export customs procedures in Turkey and loading the products on the ship deck. After delivery, the main transportation cost is paid and customs procedures are carried out in Europe. It must also pay the taxes arising at European customs to the customs.
