In its capacity as a Customs accredited and licensed Clearing and Forwarding Agent, the company manages import pre-shipment documentation, monitors the shipment while in transit, undertakes pre-arrival documentation, and ensures efficient clearing upon arrival. The company’s strong reputation for compliance with statutory regulations earned it the “Fast-Track” concession from the Customs and Excise authority.
JOF owns its warehousing & distribution facilities and offers an advantageous client-dedicated, Customs Bonded Terminal with a container storage facility that can hold 2000 units of 20FT containers. With requisite infrastructure for Customs and other Governmental Agencies on ground at our facility, it allows for a quicker engagement with significantly shorter clearing times. These create significant value for our clients by eliminating detention bills on containers.
