Pre-clearance streamlines procedures

The provision of an efficient
customs pre-clearing service
for cargo moving to and
from the SADC countries through
Beitbridge is part and parcel of
the service offered by Linked
Logistics, a chain of companies
that includes Regional Link in
Johannesburg, Beitbridge Border
Clearing Agency at Beitbridge
and Professional Clearing
throughout Zimbabwe.
The service, individually tailored
for each client’s requirements,
provides improved transit times
at Beitbridge border control, and
is linked to a monitoring and
status reporting service, says
Brian Kalshoven of BBCA. “Early
in 2009, these services will be
available to clients on a passwordaccessible
link through the Linked
Logistics website,” he told FTW.
“Users of the products will
be able to follow the progress
of their vehicle, via their own
unique connection to the website,
through Beitbridge.”
