Our Global Sea Freight Reach
Sea Freight Clearance Processs
The sea freight clearance process consists of 9 steps:
Shipment Booking & Tracking
Once the cargo is booked with the vessel or freight forwarder, Kimbo Logistics tracks the shipment using the Bill of Lading (B/L) number before it arrives in Seychelles.
Cargo Arrival at Port Victoria
The container or shipment arrives in Seychelles and is discharged from the vessel at the port. The shipping line submits the cargo manifest to Customs prior to arrival.
Document Collection and Verification
The importer or clearing agent gathers and verifies all required documents, including:
-
Bill of Lading (B/L)
-
Commercial Invoice
-
Packing List
-
Import Permit (if required)
-
Certificate of Origin (if applicable)
Customs Documentation Preparation
Kimbo Logistics reviews all documents, verifies cargo details and values, and prepares the Bill of Entry (BOE) for submission to Seychelles Customs.
Duty and Tax Assessment
Customs reviews the declaration, determines the customs value, and calculates any applicable import duties, VAT, and fees.
Customs Assessment
Customs assesses the declaration and allocates the shipment to one of the following lanes:
-
Green Lane – Immediate release.
-
Blue Lane – Immediate release.
-
Yellow Lane – Additional review (typically 1–2 working days).
-
Red Lane – Physical inspection required (typically 2–3 working days).
Customs Inspection (If Required)
For Red Lane shipments, Customs officers physically inspect the cargo and may request additional documentation or clarification before approval.
Payment of Duties and Charges
Import duties, taxes, port charges, and any handling fees are paid before the cargo can be released.
Cargo Release and Delivery
Once customs clearance is completed, the shipment is released from the port and can be collected or delivered to the customer's premises anywhere in Seychelles.
