Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your Cross Border Logistics questions
Delays can result from incomplete documentation, customs queries, permit requirements, border congestion or differences between the declared cargo and shipment details. The factors vary by commodity, border post and countries involved.
Not necessarily in the same way. Requirements depend on whether goods are being imported, exported or moving in transit through another country. Transit documentation and customs procedures may apply before the consignment reaches its final destination.
Yes. Border operating conditions, the countries being entered, cargo restrictions and the selected road corridor can influence which crossing is appropriate. Routing should therefore consider the border post as part of the transport plan.
Incorrect or missing information can prevent customs or other authorities from processing the consignment and may result in delays or additional requirements at the border. Documents should therefore be checked against the specific movement before departure.
Yes. General cargo, dangerous goods, controlled commodities and abnormal loads can be subject to different documentation, permits or transport conditions. Requirements should be established from the commodity and countries involved before the movement is arranged.
