MARITIME CONTAINER CUSTOMS CLEARANCE (Declaration)
Maritime traffic and the use of containers of 20 or 40 remains the most cost-effective way to import and export goods between countries.
With shipping companies seeking ever-larger vessels to carry thousands of containers on each voyage, this simply demonstrates that the sector is expanding and remains the preferred method for importers and exporters worldwide.
Creating the need for a customs agent who can carry out all the procedures for the maritime container customs clearance and their Single Administrative Document (SAD) as required.
One of the advantages of container shipping agencies and maritime transport is that it is possible to transport a wide variety of goods in containers.
Le aconsejamos que tome en cuenta la urgencia de su envío, el tipo de mercancía, las rutas, distancias, tamaño y cantidad de productos que va a transportar para decidir eficazmente cuál es el tipo de transporte que le interesa.
