One of the major functions of a Container Freight Station is facilitating customs clearance. Since CFS facilities are recognized by customs authorities, they have designated areas for inspections, documentation verification, and duties or tax processing. This setup allows goods to be cleared outside the congested port premises, saving time and reducing bottlenecks. By handling both export and import customs processes, a CFS ensures smooth cargo movement. Freight forwarders and logistics providers often choose CFS locations strategically for faster clearance, which helps avoid demurrage and detention charges. This streamlined approach benefits both small shippers and large-scale exporters.
