2. An inspector at the Ulaanbaatar Railroad Customs makes sure that the packet of papers is complete and reviews shipment documents.
3. I/E goes to one of the broker companies (MONGOLTRANS, TUUSHIN and IFFC) to prepare a Merchandise Customs Declaration.
4. Payment of taxes and fees to the bank (located in the same building as the Ulaanbaatar Railroad Customs).
5. I/E brings all collected documents to a goods clearance officer at the UB Railroad Customs and obtains a number for the Merchandise Customs Declaration.
6. Importer/Exporter and Customs Inspector go to the container yard to inspect the goods.
