| Ensure that the documentation reflects precise information of the commodity
imported/exported
For Customs purposes a faxed copy of the commercial invoice and bill of lading
would be required.
To Avoid unnecessary delays and consequently additional costs,
the following information must be furnished as a pre-requisite to having vehicles
customs cleared: chassis number, engine number, year of manufacture, colour,
make and model.
The original/negotiable bill of lading is to be made available prior to the vessel's
arrival in order to obtain physical delivery of the cargo and to avoid any storage
charges incurring.
Processing time at Customs may take up to 48 hours, it is there-fore vitally
important that documents are faxed immediately that they are available, preferably
at least five days prior to the vessel's arrival and the originals not later
than the arrival date. This would ensure that storage/demurrage charges are avoided/minimised. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU REQUIRE CLARIFICATION ON THE ABOVE
