Customs clearance and documentation
Most delays are paperwork, not ships. Declarations that do not match the cargo, a missing certificate, a value that cannot be evidenced: any of them will hold a consignment at the port and start demurrage running. We prepare the documentation at origin and handle the formalities at destination so that the cargo clears on the strength of what was declared.
- Export declarations at origin
- Bill of lading and shipping documents
- Import entries and destination formalities
- Duty and tax position explained before you commit
- Support on inspections and queries
- 01What the cargo is and what it is worth
- 02Commercial invoice or proof of purchase
- 03Origin and destination countries
- 04Any documents already issued
