Consulting & Trade Services
The field of trade — including both import and export — is constantly evolving, forcing trading companies and merchants to regularly update their knowledge. Additionally, numerous complex laws, regulations, documentation requirements, and procedural steps can confuse traders, and even a minor mistake in this process can lead to serious, sometimes irreversible, losses.
Therefore, having accurate knowledge and up-to-date information in this area is essential. For this reason, most traders and businesspeople turn to commercial consulting services to make their path to success safer, easier, and shorter.
Today, trade and customs consulting is available both in-person and online, allowing you to choose the right advisor based on your business needs and goals.
Gozdarazi Trading Company, with its outstanding track record and experienced team, offers high-quality services in customs consulting and business advisory, and has successfully earned the full satisfaction of its clients in this field.

What Is Trade Consulting?
Trade consulting refers to a set of expert guidelines provided by trade advisors to businesspeople in the field of commercial activities. A trade consultant is well-versed in economic and trade laws and provides comprehensive information on various methods of importing and exporting goods.
Thanks to their deep understanding of international trade processes, domestic and foreign regulations, customs affairs, and import/export procedures, trade and customs consultants help merchants carry out their commercial and economic activities efficiently, profitably, and in the shortest possible time.
A trade consultant begins by analyzing your business goals and target markets. It is important to understand that relying on trial and error in international trade can be risky. That’s why receiving expert consultation from educated and experienced professionals is essential for success in global commerce.
At Gozdarazi Trading, considering the sanctions and restrictions that have affected imports and exports in recent years, we make it our mission to provide you with all the essential information about documentation, procedures, and legal requirements — so that you don’t encounter unexpected challenges along the way.

Types of Trade Consulting
Trade consulting services cover a wide range of areas and are categorized into various groups, which we will explain below.
It is worth mentioning that Gozdarazi Trading Group proudly offers all the following types of trade consulting services with the highest level of quality and professionalism.

Import & Export Trade Consulting
In the field of imports, understanding regulations along with analyzing domestic market needs and the profitability of goods is crucial. Similarly, in exports, a trader must be familiar with the demands of the destination country.
Trade consulting services can effectively guide merchants in importing and exporting goods in a legal, strategic, and well-structured manner.

International Trade Consulting
International trade is a key driver of growth and offers numerous benefits — but it also comes with significant complexities. With the rise of new technologies, mastering international trade laws and terminology (such as Incoterms), understanding domestic regulations of trading partner countries, customs duties and tariffs, import/export procedures, and even the legal steps for foreign investment and investor protection, all require accurate and timely international trade consulting.
An experienced international trade consultant, well-informed about changes in global import/export regulations, can help you navigate these challenges and maximize your profitability in foreign trade.
​​​​​​​
Customs Consulting
Importing and exporting goods is only legally possible through customs authorities. Otherwise, the goods will be considered smuggled when crossing the borders. Therefore, it’s essential to stay connected with both domestic and foreign customs offices and be familiar with customs procedures.
Customs consulting provides you with comprehensive guidance on how to complete the required documentation, obtain necessary permits, and ensure the proper clearance of goods through customs.

Trade Consulting for Customs Clearance
According to many traders, customs clearance is the most challenging part of international trade. One of the main reasons for financial loss in trade is a lack of sufficient knowledge and experience regarding customs procedures — especially in calculating import duties and tariffs.
Clearing goods from customs is a highly specialized task, and we strongly recommend consulting with experts in the field — such as the professionals at Gozdarazi Trading Group — to ensure a smooth and compliant import/export process.
Customs clearance consulting covers all stages of releasing goods from customs, and a qualified trade consultant should support you through every step of the process.
Some of the most critical steps in customs clearance that highlight the importance of an experienced consultant include:
​​​​​​​
• Commercial Order Registration
Submitting and registering the commercial order for imported goods in the relevant trade systems.
• Submitting Import Declarations (Double Entry) or Customs Declarations
Completing the required customs declarations through the Integrated Customs Affairs System.
• Obtaining a Commercial Card
Securing a valid commercial card (business license) for legal trading activities.
• Preparing and Submitting Required Documents for Clearance
Compiling and presenting all necessary paperwork to complete the clearance process.
• Securing Required Import/Export Permits
Obtaining licenses and approvals needed for importing or clearing goods through customs.
• Goods Inspection & Standard Certification
Arranging for inspection and acquiring mandatory standard certificates for goods subject to compulsory compliance.
• Calculating Customs Clearance Costs
Accurately calculating all customs-related costs, including duties, taxes, and service fees associated with the clearance of goods.
