Compliance and Documentation That Holds Up
We work closely with local authorities and regulatory bodies so your business avoids costly violations, delays and demurrage.
Get the Paperwork Right the First Time
Most cargo that sits at the port is not waiting on a vessel or a truck — it is waiting on a document, a permit or a classification that should have been settled before arrival. Our compliance team treats documentation as the critical path, not an afterthought.
We prepare and lodge declarations, check classifications and values against current Tanzania Revenue Authority practice, obtain the permits your commodity requires, and keep the audit trail your accountants and auditors will ask for later.

Frequently asked
Who is responsible if a declaration is wrong?
You remain the importer or exporter of record, which is exactly why we verify descriptions, values and classifications with you before lodging anything.
Can you obtain permits for regulated goods?
Yes — we handle standards, health, telecom and other agency approvals as part of the clearance file rather than as a separate errand.
How do you help us avoid demurrage?
We agree a document deadline per shipment, lodge the entry before arrival and flag anything outstanding while there is still free time to use.
