SJ Logistics · Port & Clearance Solutions
Is this your shipment?
Clearance is mandatory — the question is whether it is done by specialists who prevent problems or generalists who react to them.
Engineering goods, chemicals, textiles — categories where classification directly affects your duty liability.
ODC and capital goods clearances handled by the same team that arranged the shipping.
Documents drafted to LC terms and reviewed before submission — rejections caught at the desk, not at the bank.

What people get wrong
Three assumptions that cost shippers money — and what's actually true.
Any freight agent can handle customs clearance.
Clearance requires a CHA licence and specialist knowledge of classification, valuation and procedure. We are a licensed CHA — not every forwarder is.
HS classification is straightforward.
Classification errors change duty rates, block FTA benefits and can trigger seizures. It is a specialist job done from technical specifications, not a product description.
Customs is only relevant at import.
Export compliance — shipping bills, drawback, export obligations — requires the same care as import clearance.
