Tips to save time and cost

Send documents before the vessel arrives so the GD can be filed on day one.
Keep HS codes consistent across invoice, packing list and previous shipments.
Check permits (DRAP, PSQCA, plant protection) before the supplier ships, not after.
Keep the certificate of origin ready to claim FTA duty rates.
