Importing from Asia with Control at Origin
Most problems in an Asian import start before loading: incomplete descriptions, quantities that do not match the invoice, or packaging too weak for a transit of more than a month. We coordinate directly with your supplier at origin to inspect the goods, verify quantities and confirm the packaging will survive the voyage.
We also consolidate purchases from several Asian suppliers into a single container, which lowers the cost per unit and simplifies clearance in Panama.
- ✓Coordination and follow-up with the supplier in China or Asia.
- ✓Consolidation of multiple suppliers into one container.
- ✓Document review before sailing to avoid costly corrections.
- ✓Direct or transshipment service options depending on urgency and budget.
Customs Clearance and Delivery in Panama
On arrival we file the import declaration, monitor the container free days and deliver with our own units in Panama City, the Colon Free Zone or Panama Pacifico. For goods destined for re-export, we arrange direct entry into the Colon Free Zone.
