Air Freight
Don’t wait until your goods arrive to be informed that you have failed to comply with regulatory licensing or import permit requirements, contact us prior to placing your order.
Prompt clearance is required as storage charges apply to all cargo which is not collected within specified time frames. We can attend to most regulatory issues prior to arrival of your consignment when commercial documentation is provided in advance by either email or facsimile transmission.
Minimum documentation required to facilitate clearance, must be in English and clearly legible :
- Commercial Invoice (not pro-forma)
- Packing List
- Air waybill

Sea Freight

With the introduction of Sea Waybills, Express Bills of Lading, Telex release and surrendered bills of ladings, clearance may, in most instances, be facilitated on emailed or faxed documents. If an original of lading is issued at the origin and all copies are not surrendered to the issuing office, the correctly endorsed original bill of lading is required to be lodged with the representatives’ office in the destination port to obtain a delivery order.
As with airfreight, storage charges accrue after a specified time frame for consignments which remain uncollected at the expiry of the free period.
Prompt action by you, the importer, in providing the necessary documentation well in advance of the vessel arrival will be beneficial in the clearance process.
