Frequently asked
Questions clients ask us
- Can WISTS guarantee that cargo will not be stopped or inspected?
- No provider can guarantee that. Customs authorities may select any consignment for inspection. What WISTS can do is prepare accurate documentation, respond quickly and keep you informed throughout.
- Do you handle customs for cargo forwarded by someone else?
- Yes. Customs clearance can be arranged as a standalone service or as part of a wider WISTS solution.
