Questions we get asked

Do you clear customs yourselves?

Yes — our own licensed brokers file the declarations, which is why clearance delays are the exception rather than the norm.

Can you handle project cargo?

Yes: out-of-gauge and heavy-lift moves with route surveys, permits and escorts arranged in advance.

How do we track a shipment?

You get milestone updates from a named coordinator. A client portal is on the roadmap.

Is insurance included?

Not by default — it is quoted as a line item so you can choose your cover level.
