SCOPE OF WORK
Detailed outline of our customs clearing process
The customs clearing process requires that the clearing agent be familiar with the rules and procedures in the entire chain from point of origin to final delivery at destination (client).
Stage 1: Point of origin
- Get the bill of lading, invoice, relevant certificates, and packing list
- Liaison with shipping line/shipper to confirm container or consol booking as per Bill of Lading/manifest
- Monitoring the shipment for adherence to schedule
Major challenges;
- Borders closing at 6 pm means that those truckers arriving between 5:30 pm and 6 am do not proceed on expected dates which may lead to schedule slip-ups and conflict with the client deliveries.
- Increase in cost of communication with drivers
- Language barriers with foreign drivers
Stage 2: Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA)
Preparation of customs entries
- Lodging of documents into customs
Major challenges;
- Often customs officers delay to process documents
- The Asycuda system is often out of service/network outages causes delays
- Shortage of staff to do physical examination of goods
