Air shipment clearance

In Egypt, air shipment clearance takes about two days, and same-day clearance is sometimes possible when documents are in order.

Ocean shipment clearance

For ocean freight we can release a shipment in about three days if all documents are complete and no special approval or inspection is required.

Pre-clearance

We finalise procedures before the shipment arrives, so only a few hours are needed after arrival to clear it through customs. For time-critical cargo this is usually the difference between a plan and a delay.
