How a clearance runs
Four steps, and you know where you stand at each one
01
Before you ship
Tell us what you're bringing in. We confirm the requirements, flag anything restricted, and give you a cost estimate so there are no surprises.
02
Documents in
Send your invoice, bill of lading or airway bill, and identification. We check every line before it reaches Customs.
03
Entry and duty
We classify your goods under the correct tariff heading, prepare and submit the entry, and calculate the duty and taxes owed.
04
Release and delivery
We coordinate release at the port and arrange pickup or delivery. You get an update at every stage until the goods are in your hands.
Who we serve
First barrel or fiftieth container
Importing here is harder than it needs to be. Procedures are complex, documents get rejected, duties come in higher than expected, and cargo sits at the port while the demurrage clock runs.
We handle that side of it. You get accurate paperwork, a duty figure you can plan around, and a shipment that moves.
