Customs clearing and brokerage in South Sudan

What customs clearing involves

Every shipment entering or leaving South Sudan must be declared to the South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) with the right documents, tariff classification and customs value. FrontierGate prepares and lodges that declaration for you, pays the assessed duties, taxes and levies on your behalf, and follows the consignment through inspection to release.

What we handle

• Preparation and lodgement of customs entries, declarations and manifests
• HS code classification and customs valuation
• Assessment and payment of duties, VAT and levies on your behalf, with full accounting
• Coordination of physical or scanner inspection with SSRA at the border point, depot or bonded warehouse
• Release of cleared cargo and onward forwarding to its destination

Why classification and valuation matter

The HS code and declared value decide how much duty and tax is payable. Mistakes are a common cause of queries, delays and re-assessment. Before lodging, we check the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin against each other so the declaration matches the paperwork.

Transparent duty accounting

You receive a clear breakdown of duties, fees and next steps before your cargo moves, and an account of what was paid on your behalf afterwards.
