Why an in-house customs broker, not just a carrier
Many companies only book DHL or FedEx capacity and pass customs clearance to a third-party broker. Every handoff adds another party, another email thread and a risk of documents getting lost between links.
SEMERO is itself a licensed customs broker. The same manager who takes your shipment prepares the declaration data and answers customs queries. One point of accountability — and no delays from routing documents through a third party.
What customs clearance by our broker includes
- Full customs clearance of DHL, FedEx and UPS shipments — from document preparation to release
- Checking the invoice and packing list before the cargo ships
- HS code classification for every item
- Calculation of customs value and estimated duties (duty, VAT)
- Filing the declaration or low-value express register with customs
- Support until release and delivery to your address
Who it's for
- Limited companies and other legal entities
- Sole traders importing goods for resale or production
- Import into Ukraine and export from Ukraine

FAQ
How much does a customs broker cost for business?
Customs clearance support costs UAH 5,000 for companies and sole traders and UAH 2,000 for individuals, processing time — 1 day. Duty and VAT are calculated separately based on the HS code and customs value.
How is a customs broker different from a company that does customs clearance?
It isn't — these are two names for the same service: a customs broker is the party that performs customs clearance, preparing and filing the declaration and answering customs queries. SEMERO combines both roles under one license: we are a licensed broker that handles clearance and the organizer of DHL, FedEx and UPS delivery, so your cargo never passes to a third party.
How is a customs broker different from a carrier or transport company?
A carrier physically delivers the cargo, while a customs broker prepares and files the declaration and liaises with customs. SEMERO combines both: we hold our own customs broker license and arrange delivery via DHL, FedEx and UPS.
Do I need to be a sole trader to use a customs broker?
Cargo for business activity is cleared on a company or sole trader. Individuals can also use our support for personal shipments. We will suggest the best option depending on the goods and value.
Which documents are needed to work with a customs broker?
Basically — a commercial invoice, packing list, AWB number, payer details (company registration code for businesses), HS code and country of origin. The exact list depends on the goods, value and delivery terms; some categories need permits.
Can I order customs clearance only, without delivery?
Yes. You can order customs clearance only for DHL or FedEx cargo from SEMERO, even if you did not book delivery through us. You can also order DHL or FedEx delivery separately, or both delivery and customs clearance together. We provide the service that meets your needs.
