Questions

Are you the authority that issues the certificate?
No. We are an independent provider: we prepare and file your application, and the destination’s authority validates and issues the certificate.
When must the certificate be ready?
For most destinations, before the vessel leaves the port of loading. A missing or late certificate can lead to penalties at the port of discharge.
What do I need to start?
The destination country. Then the number of bills of lading and containers, the ports, and a contact for the draft.
