Fast Customs Clearance Methods for Small Quantities of Diverse Items (Agreed Tariff Rates)

Question

A wide variety of items (approximately 20–300 different types) are being imported in small quantities (1–3 units each). These are urgent items, but I have heard that clearance is significantly delayed because the item specifications must be checked in advance and the HS codes must be reviewed before customs clearance can proceed. I am wondering if there are any other available methods.

When importing various items in a single shipment, there is a composite tariff system that applies the highest applicable tariff rate to the entire lot. Since it applies a single HS code to the whole shipment, it allows for rapid customs clearance; however, the disadvantage is that the customs duties may be higher than if you had declared them according to the individual principles.
