How can we help?

Find answers about our logistics, shipping support, and customs clearance services.

Can Behajas clear both personal effects and commercial cargo?

Yes. We clear both personal effects and commercial cargo, subject to the required documentation and applicable customs regulations. Each consignment is reviewed individually to confirm its clearance requirements.

Who pays customs duties, port charges, storage, and demurrage?

These charges are normally paid by the customer or importer, including applicable customs duties, port charges, storage, demurrage, and agency fees. Any different payment arrangement will be clearly stated in the quotation or service agreement.

How long does clearance normally take after all correct documents are received?

Clearance is normally completed within a reasonable timeframe after all correct documents are received. The exact time depends on the consignment, customs requirements, and the processes involved. Customers will be kept informed throughout the clearance process.

What common document mistakes delay customs clearance?

Common mistakes include incorrect HS codes, missing permits or certificates, incomplete invoices or packing lists, and differences in cargo descriptions, quantities, or values across documents. Customers should ensure all documents are accurate and consistent before submission.

Can you estimate duties and taxes before cargo arrives?

Yes. We can provide a preliminary estimate based on the cargo description, HS code, declared invoice value, and relevant consignment details. The final amount is determined by customs and may change after document review, valuation, or inspection.
