According to the laws, imported and exported goods must be cleared from customs at a certain time. Merchants are liable to pay a fine if they do not clear their goods from customs on time.
The duration of the goods stop at the customs also depends on various factors and according to the rules, this time will be different for all types of goods (the stop period for imported food is less than the stop period for industrial equipment and supplies).
