Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Customs shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Customs offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Customs at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Customs? Wrong! If the Customs is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Customs then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Customs? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Customs and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Customs wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Customs then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Customs site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Customs, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Customs, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Customs is an authority or Government agency in a country responsible for collecting customs duties and for controlling the flow of animals and goods (including personal effects and hazard items) in and out of a country. Depending on local legislation and regulations, the International trade or export of some goods may be restricted or forbidden, and the customs agency enforces these rules. The customs agency may be different from the immigration authority, which monitors persons who leave or enter the country, checking for appropriate documentation, apprehending people wanted by international search warrants, and impeding the entry of others deemed dangerous to the country.

A customs Duty (economics) is a tariff or tax on the import of or export of goods. In England, customs duties were traditionally part of the customary revenue of the Monarch, and therefore did not need parliamentary consent to be levied, unlike excise duty, land tax, or other impositions.

Commercial goods not yet cleared through customs are held in a customs area , often called a bond store, until processed.

Red and Green Channels Customs for arriving passengers at many international airports, and some road crossings, are separated into Red and Green Channels.http://app.ica.gov.sg/travellers/entry/dual_channel.asphttp://www.toll.no/upload/Dokumenter/brosjyrer_veiledere/Reisende_ENG.pdf Passengers with goods to declare (carrying items above the permitted customs limits and/or carrying prohibited items) should go through the Red Channel. Passengers with nothing to declare (carrying goods within the customs limits only and not carrying prohibited items) can go through the Green Channel. Passengers going through the Green Channel are only subject to spot checks and save time. But, if a passenger going through the Green Channel is found to have goods above the customs limits on them or carrying prohibited items, they may be prosecuted for making a false declaration to customs, by virtue of having gone through the Green Channel.

Airports within the European Union also have a Blue Channel. As the European Union is a customs union, travellers between EU countries do not have to pay customs duties, so long as the goods they are carrying are for personal use only (will not be sold). Passengers arriving from other EU countries should go through the Blue Channel. Bag tag for checked in luggage within the EU are green-edged so they may be identified.http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/customs/customs_controls/baggage_controls/index_en.htm#exithttp://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/themes/main/images/etiquette_verte.gif
