Why do you need a customs Agent/freight forwarder

Who are customs Agents?

Any individual or company that is licensed by Customs to carry out clearance procedure and clearance logistics on behalf of a company or individual.

Customs Agents Roles

They include:

• Assist in submitting all the necessary documentation onto the KRA electronic system on your behalf.
• Payment of duties and taxes on your behalf.
• Retaining all documents related to customs transactions in an orderly, itemized manner.

Clearing Agents and Freight Forwarders will assist you with the necessary customs transactions.

A Freight Forwarder will arrange for your goods to be transported from one country to another while a Clearing Agent will make sure that your goods are cleared with customs.
