Port of Entry

A port of entry is a place where foreign goods are admitted into the receiving country. The term is also used in relation to people, for example when referring to an airport or land border crossing where people enter a country.

Ports of entry are usually located at airports, seaports, or land border crossings. They are staffed by customs and immigration officials who check passports and other documents and inspect goods to ensure that they comply with regulations.

When goods are imported into a country, they may be subject to import duties and other taxes. These must be paid before the goods can be released from the port of entry.

Ports of entry play an important role in the logistics process, as they are the point at which goods enter the country. This makes them a critical part of the supply chain.
