Letter to Customs Officer to Release Goods
The Director,
Customs Department
Dear Sir,
I hope this letter finds you in great spirits. We are a private limited firm and deal in the import of garments. Our last consignment came from India, but upon reaching the port, it was held by the customs official on the ground that I had not paid import duty for the consignment yet. We have paid the import duty, other relevant tools, and taxes, and we need your approval to release our goods from customs custody. All the relevant record is attached with this letter for your review. Kindly order to release goods as early as possible, and facilitate us in completing the order for our clients. We will highly regard this favor.
Sincerely,
Your Name
