\n

What is Click2Clear?<\/h2>\n

Click2Clear is a secure platform created by The Bahamas Customs and Excise Department for online customs processing. Inbound and outbound declarations must be submitted through this platform. It has been in place since 2018 but was only required for cargo operators.<\/p>\n

With little notice, the Bahamas recently expanded Click2Clear to pleasure\/charter aviation with a go-live date of May 3, 2022. There are concerns within the industry<\/a> that Click2Clear was rolled out with not enough notice and that the system is not intuitive.<\/p>\n
