Imports, exports and customs, handled for you

An international freight forwarder that takes care of the paperwork and the movement.

Imports and exports

Imports, Exports & Customs

Moving goods across borders involves transport, documentation, duties and rules that change from country to country. If you are looking for an international freight forwarder for imports and exports and all your logistical requirements, Keystone Solutions is built for exactly that. We coordinate the whole process so you can focus on running your business.

As a freight forwarder we act as your agent. We arrange the transport by air, sea or road, prepare and check the shipping documents, deal with customs clearance, and arrange delivery to your door. For importers that means your goods are cleared and delivered without you having to manage each step. For exporters it means your consignment leaves South Africa correctly documented and arrives where it should.

Good documentation is what keeps cargo moving. Errors in a commercial invoice, packing list or tariff classification can cause delays and extra costs at the border, so we check the details up front. We also advise on options such as consolidating shipments, choosing the right mode of transport, and insurance to protect your cargo.

Our worldwide footprint, with clearing, forwarding and distribution infrastructure, backs this up. And because you are assigned one specialist who handles your whole portfolio, you are never starting from scratch when you contact us. We also offer a 30 day account to qualifying customers, and we hold Level 4 BBBEE status.
