Industries
We secure the approvals for radio equipment and handle batteries and classification, so connected devices and telecom hardware clear without holds and reach your channel on time.
Typical Cargo
Common Challenges
Radio equipment needs approval before it can be sold or used. We secure it in advance, so units are not held or turned back.
Lithium batteries can turn ordinary electronics into Dangerous Goods shipments. We identify and handle them early, so carriers do not refuse the cargo.
Close tariff headings for connected devices lead to duty disputes. We confirm the classification before filing, so you pay the right duty the first time.

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.
