Our Services
Airfreight imports
Setting up and monitoring the Purchase Order and arranging the transport from your supplier through customs clearance in SA and includes final delivery to you
Sea Freight Imports
The same process catering for Full Container Load, (FCL), Less Than Container Load (LCL) and Break-Bulk consignments by sea.
Airfreight Exports
Depending on the Terms of Sale you conclude (e.g. EXW, FOB, FCA, CPT, DAP ) so we work with you to the point of handover ensuring that you maintain a competitive edge in the market in terms of delivery time, landed cost, documentation and communication.
Sea Freight Exports
The same process as Airfreight but catering for all sea-freight modes.
International Trade Consulting
Analysis of freight files over many years has highlighted how often importers and exporters overlook the complex legal, risk, cost, and time related implications of moving cargo internationally. We offer seminars and personal consulting on the key ways of reducing your trading risks and costs.
Estimating and Landed Costs
It is important that you are able to calculate your costs before you enter into an international purchase/sale contract. Our comprehensive estimating system enables you to trade knowing your costs in advance. Similarly once your goods land, we can assist you to cost your items accurately as an extension of the customs clearance process.
