Industries
We coordinate plant, animal and fishery clearances across every agency involved, so perishable and live cargo clears quickly and arrives in condition.
Typical Cargo
Common Challenges
Several agencies can each have a say, depending on the product. We map every clearance before shipping, so no agency surprises the cargo.
Permit details that differ from the invoice or quantity can stop release. We reconcile every document before filing, so clearances match the shipment.
Delays at the port eat into shelf life, storage costs and quality. We plan release and pickup together, so perishable cargo leaves the port quickly.
Who We Help
We line up sanitary and phytosanitary clearances before the cargo arrives, so planting schedules hold.
We keep grains, feeds and ingredients moving on a recurring schedule, so production does not wait on supply.
We coordinate quarantine and inspection for animal products and live animals, so cargo is released fresh and compliant.
We match permits and cold storage, so fish and seafood stay compliant and in condition.
We guide agricultural exporters through the approvals and importer rules, so your first shipments clear cleanly.

Before the cargo ships. Classification, permits and document mismatches are far cheaper to fix at the planning stage than after arrival, when storage and demurrage charges can already be running.
