MOST COMMON issues with URGENT shipments
- Customs & Export Controls: Urgent timelines often clash with slow customs processes, especially when your shipment requires export permits, cultural‑property clearance, or detailed documentation.
- Limited Time for Packing: Urgent schedules reduce the time available for custom packing, shock protection, and condition checks, increasing the risk of damage.
- Complex Multi‑Party Coordination: Shipper, receiver and customs brokers all need to align quickly. Any delay from one party can disrupt the entire route.
- Flight Availability & Routing: Oversized or fragile shipments can't always be booked last‑minute. Missed flights or limited cargo space can cause major setbacks.
- Duties & Taxes collection: The charging and collection of duties and taxes by the receiving countries, can take days or weeks, if all the parties involved are not fully ready and reactive.
