FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does customs clearance at Sohar Port take?
When documents are complete and accurate and duties are settled without an inspection hold, a standard import declaration is typically cleared within one to two working days after the cargo is available at the port. Physical inspections, restricted goods or permit requirements extend that time.
What documents are required for import clearance in Oman?
The standard set is the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin. Some goods additionally require approvals from the relevant Omani authority, plus your company's commercial registration details for the declaration.
What causes demurrage on containers at Sohar?
Demurrage builds when the container stays at the port beyond the free time granted by the shipping line. The usual triggers are late or inconsistent documents, unpaid duties, inspection holds, and no inland truck booked for the release day.
Can TAAM Co. clear both imports and exports?
Yes. TAAM Co. handles import clearance and export clearance at Sohar, including document preparation, declaration filing, duty coordination and release follow-up.
