Common questions
What documents do I need?
At minimum a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Depending on the goods you may also need a certificate of origin or permits. We tell you exactly what is required before your cargo sails.
How long does clearance take?
With documents in order, most shipments clear within a few days of arrival. Delays almost always come from missing or incorrect paperwork, which is exactly what we pre-check.
Who pays the duty?
Duty and taxes are set by Somaliland customs and paid to them. We handle the filing and can pay on your behalf, then bill it back transparently.
Paperwork that clears the first time
Customs declarations, commercial invoices and bills of lading: prepared, pre-checked and filed correctly, so your cargo is never held at the port over a missing stamp.
