Programs
Groupage consolidation, full container planning, customs clearance support and documentation review for importers and export agents working out of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Each program covers a defined part of the shipment cycle, from booking and packing lists through to release and depot handover.
Programs
Not every trader needs the same threads. Some run weekly groupage out of Durban and only care about depot turnaround. Others are clearing their first FCL at OR Tambo and need paperwork checked line by line. Pick the track that matches how you actually move cargo, then post your lane.
Track 01
For importers co-loading smaller volumes. Threads cover consolidation cut-offs, deconsolidation delays at Johannesburg depots, and how to read a groupage quote without missing destination handling charges.
Track 02
SAD 500 fields, tariff classification disputes and the invoice-to-packing-list mismatches that hold release. Members post their declarations before submission and get a second pair of eyes.
Track 03
Durban berthing windows, Walvis Bay corridor transit times and honest carrier reviews. No rate sheets, just what members saw on their last three sailings and how they planned around it.

Programs / capabilities
Programs here are not packages you buy. They are the working threads and shared routines that importers, export agents and small freight outfits lean on every week. Each one has a fixed scope, a place to post, and people who answer from the depot floor rather than from a brochure.
Lane threads
Post your monthly volume and cargo type, and members compare LCL handling against a 20ft box for your route. Expect questions about co-loaded cargo and deconsolidation timing before anyone gives an answer.
Customs desk
Field-by-field notes on declarations that stall at Durban and OR Tambo. Tariff heading disputes, invoice and packing list mismatches, and what to have ready before the vessel berths.
Route talk
Realistic windows for the Walvis Bay corridor, Johannesburg and Cape Town runs, plus depot contacts members have actually used. Numbers come with the week they were measured, not as a fixed promise.
Port watch
Berthing slips, trucking backlogs and depot queues reported as they happen. Useful when you need to tell a customer the delivery date has moved and explain why.
Carrier reviews
Members log schedule reliability, damage claims and how a carrier handled a rerouted box. Reviews stay tied to a specific booking, so you can weigh them against your own cargo.
Insurance basics
Plain explanations of all-risk versus named perils, what a general average clause means for groupage, and which documents you need on hand when a claim is opened.
