Customs Clearance

Our own team works at Dar es Salaam port. When there's a problem, we walk over.

Clearance, Not Subcontracted

Most freight forwarders outsource customs clearance to a local agent. We don't. Our in-house clearance team operates at Dar es Salaam port — the same team, every shipment, every day.

📄 Document Preparation

Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, IDM forms — we prepare everything for TRA submission.

🔢 HS Code Classification

Accurate HS code selection is critical. Mistakes mean delays, fines, or cargo holds. We classify with TRA precedent in mind.

📋 Permit Assistance

TBS standards, SGS inspection, phytosanitary certificates, import licenses — we handle the paperwork for regulated goods.

Why In-House Matters

When clearance is outsourced, you communicate through layers. The agent talks to a middleman who talks to the forwarder who talks to you. A simple document issue takes days to resolve. Our team is at the port. If customs asks a question, we walk across the yard and answer it. One phone call is all it takes.
