Import-Export
A smooth customs passage, on import and export, with no blockage or penalty.
Customs clearance is often the most feared step of an import-export operation. An incomplete file, a wrong tariff classification or a missing document can immobilise your goods for days and generate costly demurrage fees. MDD Air Cargo provides a team of experienced customs declarants who fully master customs procedures in Guinea, the Emirates and China, to spare you these pitfalls and secure each of your shipments.
Our role is to smooth your customs passage from start to finish. We assemble and check the entire file β commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin, any licences β even before filing the declaration. This upstream rigour is the best safeguard against blockages, since the vast majority of customs delays come from a poorly prepared file. We also anticipate inspections that may be triggered and prepare the corresponding documents, so your goods are available as quickly as possible. At every step, you are kept informed of your file’s progress.
On export, we file the declaration with the relevant authorities in the country of origin and ensure your goods leave the territory perfectly in order. On import, we handle filing the import declaration, calculating and paying duties and taxes, then releasing the goods. Our in-depth knowledge of Guinean and Emirati customs, as well as Chinese export regulations, lets us apply the right customs regimes and optimise, where possible, the taxation of your operation, always in strict compliance with the law.
International trade is governed by dense, shifting regulations: tariff classification, customs value, health or technical standards, product-specific restrictions. A compliance error can be costly, in penalties and reputation. We maintain constant monitoring and check the conformity of each shipment with current regulations. If there is any doubt about a product’s classification or a good’s admissibility, we advise you upfront, before shipping, to avoid any unpleasant surprise on arrival. This mastery of clearance reduces your release times and protects you lastingly.
