GOT A QUESTION? 

A few answers
For You.

Can I contact you before my cargo arrives?

Yes. Early contact gives us an opportunity to review available documents and identify requirements before clearance begins.

Is clearance guaranteed within 5–7 working days?

No. Our target starts after complete documentation and cargo availability. Customs assessment, examination, regulatory approvals and other external factors can affect the release date.

How much will my clearance cost?

Costs depend on your cargo, classification, shipment details and applicable requirements. Share your details so our team can review them and explain the relevant charges. Customs duties, taxes and other charges must be considered separately from the service scope.

I don’t know my HS code. Can you help?

Yes. We offer HS code and classification support. Send an accurate cargo description and available product details so our team can review the classification requirements.

Can you arrange delivery after release?

Yes. Cargo collection and delivery are part of our service offering. Tell us your destination so the delivery requirements and costs can be included in the discussion.

What if my documentation is incomplete?

Contact us with the documents you have. We will review them and advise on missing information and next steps. Clearance cannot proceed to completion without the required documents and approvals.
