We are very particular about compliance hence, organizing in service training for our staffs from time to time upgrading  their knowledge and skills in current customs requirement on export and import documentation in Air and Sea freight. We believe compliance ensure efficiency.

It’s was noticed that, some of the industry players often lack adequate knowledge on custom procedures, causing them sometimes on the bitter side of the law. Compliance consultancy was formed to assist colleague forwarders and importers to address the problem. It was amazing to know that, some importers could import products into the country without knowing the tax implication on the  item imported.

To empower customers understand the operations of the system and appreciate the work of  freight forwarder, We have been educating them on custom procedures, tax rate and it implications on their business and documentation needed for clearing/ forwarding a particular products. The major idea behind this, is to make them fully compliance with the system and avoiding haven issues with the law.

We advise any one who want to export/import into the country but have little or no idea of the required documents and permits should please consult us for assistance
