Hints & Tips
- To ensure a quick processing of shipments, please ensure documentation reflects precise information of the commodity imported and exported. For customs clearance a copy of the commercial invoice and bill of lading can be faxed.
- To avoid unnecessary delays and additional costs, obtaining these documents will also allow direct communication with the shipping lines of the vessel arriving and would apply in ensuring that additional storage/demurrage costs are not incurred.
- The original/negotiable bill of lading is to be made available prior to the vessel arrival in order to obtain physical delivery of the cargo.
- Processing time at Customs may take up to 48 hours, it is therefore vitally important that documents are faxed immediately.
