Clearing & Forwarding

The paperwork
that keeps cargo moving.

Specialised in the Mombasa–Juba corridor — customs clearance, transit documentation, and bond management.

01

Overview

The corridor we work weekly.

Navigating the transport corridors (like the Mombasa–Juba route) and managing the legal paperwork at the border.

Clearing & forwarding is invisible when it’s done well and catastrophic when it isn’t. Demurrage at Mombasa runs in the hundreds of dollars per day per container. A missing certificate or misclassified HS code can hold cargo for weeks. We work this route weekly and know which agents, brokers, and officials make it move.
