Custom Clearance Services

Customs clearance is an integral part of the FAMS shipment processing service. In compliance with local legislation and in accordance with customer requirements, FAMS maintains its own customs bonds and in-house customs teams. In countries mandating customs broker independence (Despachantes), FAMS has established relationships with local brokers in each international point of entry.

FAMS processes all shipments with a “zero tolerance” approach to compliance. In-house customs experts guide customers through the customs process, highlighting where applicable the availability of local customs duty exonerations.

FAMS provides land border clearance services through branch offices with in-house customs teams at a range of border posts in southern Africa. All branch offices are permanently connected to the FAMS communications network and own border staff coordinate and expedite border clearances.
