Spanish term or phrase:DOMICILIACION
The words domiciliación and despacho both seem to meen the same thing 'customs clearance' according to several references: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/transport_trans... http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?mode=dbl〈=en&ihmlang=en&lng1=en,es&lng2=bg,cs,da,de,el,en,es,et,fi,fr,hu,it,lt,lv,mt,nl,pl,pt,ro,sk,sl,sv,&val=492779:cs&page=

Explanation: "Domiciliacion" is usually a standing order payment:
domiciliación f : domiciliación de la nómina payment of one’s salary by credit transfer o direct into one’s bank account;
domiciliación de los pagos payment by direct debit o (AmE) direct billing; ™ domiciliación bancaria bank details

I think "despacho" here simply means (envío) dispatch, despatch; Although, as you say, "despacho de aduanas" is indeed customs clearance, but you may need to ask the client exactly what they mean on this occasion.

From the limited context, I think it could mean "storage and despatch" i. e. the goods are stored (domiciliado) and despatched from the client's factory, warehouse or storage depot.

Domicilio is where someone/something resides, which is why I think they may mean "keeping" (storage), especially if the text is from an LA country with a variant Spanish (non-Castilian) usage.
