Items we Inspect
Each Regulatory Agency has specific requirements that clinets must satisfy in order to transact business. In addition to custom documentation, import permits, licenses, sanitary and phytosanitary documents may be necessary.
For more information contact the respective Ministry or the JI/EIC.
The time taken for the processing of documents and cargo at the Inspection Centre depends on a number of factors such as; volume and packaging of imports/exports and the level of client complaince. With the JI/EIC, the process is expected to be reduced from a 12-24 hour turnaround time to an average of 6 hours or less.
