Cevap
The correct chronological sequence for customs clearance is: Submission of import documentation → Physical examination of cargo → Assessment of tariff duties → Payment of assessed duties → Issuance of customs release order.
Customs control requires a structured procedure beginning with document submission to declare the cargo, physical inspection to confirm declarations, duty assessment based on cargo verification, duty payment settlement, and concluding with the official release order.
