Clearance & documents
Paperwork that keeps pace with the fish.
A shipment can be perfect and still be refused for a missing signature. We treat documentation as part of the cold chain — prepared alongside the cargo, checked before it moves, and complete when your buyer asks.
Clearance at both ends
Two countries, two desks, one set of records.
Because we work the formalities at both ends, a problem found in one country is raised while there is still time to fix it.
Origin handling
Somalia
Everything that has to be true before the cargo can leave the country of catch.
- Landing and catch records
- Export permit applications
- Health and veterinary certification
- Certificate of origin
- Pre-shipment inspection support
- Carrier booking formalities
Gateway support
Kenya
The transit, export and clearance steps on the corridor's other end.
- Transit and entry documentation
- Customs handling at the gateway
- Port health and vet inspections
- Duty and levy clarifications
- Onward forwarding coordination
- Release to the nominated receiver
Documents you receive
The pack that travels with the catch.
Every consignment is issued with the records your importer, their broker and their health inspector will ask to see.

- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Health certificate
- Catch / landing declaration
- Airway bill or bill of lading
