Documents commonly required.
Exact requirements depend on goods, origin, value, route and applicable permits.
When goods have already arrived
Do not wait while storage charges, border waiting time or supplier confusion grows. Send ODI Freight the documents you have now: invoice, packing list, transport document, arrival point and any permits available.
Before goods arrive
For cargo from China, Dubai, the UK, Turkey, South Africa, India, Japan or regional SADC markets, early document checks help identify missing details before the airport, border, warehouse or depot becomes urgent.
When documents are incomplete
Wrong invoice formats, vague goods descriptions and missing supplier documents can slow clearance. ODI Freight helps you understand what may be missing and what to request from the supplier.
When permits are required
Some goods need permits or import licences before release. ODI Freight can guide and facilitate the process where applicable, while approval remains with the relevant authority.
