Container Clearance

Container Clearance

There is no doubt that sending goods through a container is one of the most reasonable methods to ship your goods. To ensure this we offer container shipping services at all the major trade routes. We have the option of regular deep sea shipping ports in the world, which includes Africa, China, Australia and U.S.A. To ensure easier carrier services, we also make arrangements for both single and multi-container shipments based on customer requirements.

Our port to port and door to door services help you ship your containers to the required ports from where the consignee makes the arrangements or necessary tabulations for further transportation and customs clearance. With our extensive network of agents and door to door services, container clearance is not usually a problem. However, there are a number of regulations that one must adhere to ensure that their containers are cleared at the most economical rates.

For those who are in a private business and looking to import goods through containers, the transitional facility has to be approved by the regulatory organization. This is usually done either on the commercial premises or even by the freight forwarding agency. For faster and smoother transactions it is best to avoid using goods that are termed as risky.

Once the containers arrive at the port, they are forwarded to a transitional facility for different kinds of checks. The bio-security direction has to be provided prior to the container being taken to a transitional area. Our agents will make arrangements for the necessary checks and clearances. However, you have to provide them with the details about the containers for faster clearance. If not, then the submitted goods might be termed as risky and this will only delay the process of clearance.

Those who have been regularly trading with us would also need to go through these guidelines to ensure smoother transactions and clearance. For sea ports, quarantine declaration is mandatory. There are many countries like New Zealand, that call for a quarantine clearance and declaration for their ports. Basically, this is an attested procedure to check on the cleanliness of the container. For instance, wood packaging means risk of fungi and boring insects. Thus examination of the container internally and externally is done to keep the importing port free from insects and infestations.

For the clearance, it is best to have the complete declaration forms and other documents handy. Here are some of the rates for our ports-
