Importing: To import items to the planet, you must have a Launchpad (found under Spaceport in your list of buildings.) Having built this, the operation is to place the items in the Customs Office in orbit by accessing the customs office, ~~opneing~~ your inventory, flying your transport ship to the customs office, pre-selecting your next target (next customs office or safe spot), pressing "Warp to 0" right when you drop out of warp and drag commodities from your cargo hold to the left side of the customs office (or vice versa) while your ship aligns. Next, when you are back at a safe spot, you can then move (or shift-drag to break up stacks) from the Planetary Customs Office pane on the left, to the To Be Transferred Pane in the middle. If you have multiple Launchpads make sure the target one is selected in the drop-down! When you have everything setup to your desire, click on "~~Import To Planet~~". The items will arrive in your Launch Pad, and can then be transported elsewhere through Expedited Transfer or Routing. There is a cost of 1 ISK/something to import. Experimental numbers below.

For Export, you have two options: Launch or Export. Export is performed in the same way as Import, by Accessing the Customs Office, ~~and clicking on~~ the ~~Export radio button in~~ the ~~upper~~ right ~~corner. This swaps~~ the ~~positions of~~ the ~~Customs Office~~ and ~~Launchpad such that the Launchpad(s) is/are over~~ on the ~~left. Add items to the shipment, or drag them to the center~~ "~~To Be Transferred~~" ~~pane. When everything is to your satisfaction, click on Export From Planet~~.

Some interesting notes about the Customs Office

* There is only one Customs Office per planet shared between all on-planet.

* Even if you don't have a Colony on the planet you can still use the Customs Office and place items in it.

* It is safe to warp away leaving some of your goods in the Customs Office (~~no idea for how long however~~)

* It is safe to warp away leaving some of your goods in the Customs Office (unless the Customs Office gets destroyed)
