🛑 Clearing Agent Confessions: What NOT to Do! 🛑 Navigating the world of customs and logistics is no easy task, and as your trusted clearing agents, we're here to make it as smooth as possible. But sometimes, well-meaning clients unintentionally make our jobs a bit harder. To be more frank, we find that there are three types of clients falling into these categories:- a) The first time importer b) The one who just changed to a new clearing agent c) Shady clients Here's a lighthearted look at some ways you might be driving your clearing agent up the wall: 1️⃣ Leaving Us in the Dark: Communication is key! When we're kept out of the loop, it can lead to unnecessary delays. Keep us informed so we can keep things moving. 2️⃣ The Blame Game: Things don't always go as planned, but playing the blame game doesn't help anyone. Let's focus on finding solutions instead of pointing fingers. 3️⃣ Nagging (Let Me Do My Job!): We get it, you're eager for updates, but constant check-ins won't speed things up. Trust us to handle the details—it's what we're here for! 4️⃣ Becoming the Agent (Overstepping): We appreciate your involvement, but when clients try to take matters into their own hands by contacting authorities directly, it can create confusion and delays. Leave the heavy lifting to us. 🔄 But Seriously... Let's work together for a seamless process. A little patience and clear communication go a long way in ensuring everything runs smoothly. After all, happy clients mean happy agents! Drop a comment if you’ve seen or experienced any of these firsthand (no judgment—we’ve all been there!). 😄 #LogisticsEducation #ImportExport #GlobalLeaders #WestonLogistcs #Formorethanjustclearing #Supplychain #FreightLogistics #clearingandforwarding #Shippingline #Warehousing #Packaging #Customs #ThinkWELL

The TFTA Agreement is Long Overdue and here what happens if we get this working! COMESA-EAC-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) Agreement would be monumental step towards economic integration and growth across Africa. 💼 Widening Our Market, Boosting Our Economy 💼 The TFTA Agreement opens up a single market of 13 countries (at the moment), providing African businesses with access to new opportunities. This is crucial for growth, especially when considering the relatively small populations of individual African countries compared to global powers like the USA and the EU 📊 The Power of Numbers: Comparing Markets 📊 Kenya: Population of ~53 million USA: Population of ~331 million EU: Population of ~450 million With the TFTA, African countries can combine their markets, significantly boosting our collective buying power and economic potential. Imagine the impact of trading freely across borders with a combined population of over 700 million! Hitting plateaus by start ups and established business will decrease as they enter into new markets! 🌱 Fueling Economic Growth 🌱 Increased Trade: The removal of tariffs and trade barriers will lead to a surge in intra-African trade. Market Expansion: Businesses can now access a broader customer base, leading to higher sales and revenue. Investment Opportunities: A more integrated market attracts both local and international investments, fostering economic growth. 📈 Looking Forward to a Prosperous Future 📈 The TFTA Agreement is a game-changer for African trade and needs to be implemented to the fullest. We expect that in the future that the whole of Africa can trade freely. It’s time to leverage this opportunity to expand our markets, increase our economic growth, and enhance our global competitiveness. 💬 Join the Conversation! 💬 What are your thoughts on the TFTA Agreement?

There wont be a better time for this post following state of the country at the moment! 5 Smart Strategies to Legally Reduce Import Taxes 🚚 🏦(No Gatekeeping!) Did you know you could be paying less in import taxes? Many importers miss out on significant savings by not knowing these tips! No gatekeeping here—let's dive in: 1. Find the KRA Sweet Spot Avoid fines and valuations by staying within the KRA baseline. Hit the sweet spot and save on your next shipment! 2. Leverage Trade Agreements Switching suppliers to a COMESA member country like Egypt can bring big tax benefits. Make trade agreements work for you! 3. Opt for Local Assembly and Adding Value to your imports. Import unassembled trailers and assemble them locally. This not only creates jobs but also earns you tax exemptions! 4. Classify Goods Correctly Proper classification can save you big bucks. For instance one of our client had a tough time competing in the market. His product was relatively cheaper than those available around yet he could help wonder what he was missing! Well, the difference between SKD and CKD for tuktuks could mean $2000 in taxes per shipment! Such a simple change but very costly! 5. Buying in bulk offers higher discounts and reduces the amount you pay in taxes. We have clients who imports once or twice a year because...Economies of scale are your friend! Want more tips?

The Tire Verification! This happened a long time ago but remains one of our most bizarre memories! After clearing the container and loading it onto the truck, we were just about to leave the CFS when—bam! We got stopped for verification again, which never happens. After restarting and completing the checks, the truck finally left the CFS. But halfway to our client's premises, the police and intelligence services stopped us, demanding another verification. The driver alerted us immediately, and we rushed to the scene. After a stressful negotiation, we agreed to have the cargo verified at our client's premises. In the end, their suspicions were confirmed, and they went on their way! It turns out there was a surge in counterfeit and stolen tires. How bizarre is that? Have any wild stories of your own?

The phrase "your cargo is under valuation" can be a nightmare for importers. Here’s how to avoid it: 1. Choose the Right Clearing Agent A seasoned clearing agent is crucial. They anticipate issues and ensure compliance, helping you avoid unnecessary fines and delays. They guide you through the valuation process and work with authorities to ensure you only pay what's required. 2. Prepare Essential Documents Think of this as gearing up for a battle. Here’s what you need: ✅Sales Contract: Created by your supplier based on your agreement. ✅Proof of Payment (TT): Shows payment history. ✅Specific Documents: Like a COMESA Certificate for tax exemptions. ✅Previous Import Entries: Demonstrates consistent duty payments. ✅Chamber of Commerce Endorsement: Adds legitimacy to your transactions. 3. Focus on Compliance Repeat offenders end up on the dreaded blacklist, where all cargo gets scrutinized and many dont know this, but Clearing Agent can also be in this list too! Avoid this by ensuring complete compliance in every aspect of your customs process. Did this help?
