Customs Clearing: WE SIMPLIFY COMPLEXITY

Compliance with global statutory regulations can be complex, risky and costly if you get it wrong. As a SARS (South African Revenue Services) accredited customs broker, we proactively stay abreast of legislative and regulatory developments.

REDUCE THE RISK OF CUSTOMS DELAYS

Incorrectly applied tariffs can result in penalties and cause delays resulting in storage fees levied at the port of entry, whether ocean freight or air freight. Our team of customs experts have an excess of 100 years combined experience.

They proactively work with our clients to ensure the correct application of tariff headings and are meticulous in their execution.
