Respected Sir,

I hope this letter finds you in great spirits. We are a private limited firm (Business type) and deal in the import of garments (Import items type). Our last consignment came from (Country name) but upon reaching the port, it was held by the customs official on the ground that import duty for the consignment had not been paid yet. (Describe in your own words). We have paid the import duty and other relevant tolls (fees) and taxes and we need your approval for the release of our goods from customs custody. (Explain the actual problem and situation).

All the relevant record is attached to this letter for your review. Kindly, order for the release of goods as early as possible and facilitate us in completing the order for our clients. (describe your requirements). We will highly regard this favour.

Sincerely,

Your name…
