Re Export imported Goods
Re-exporting imported goods for repair can be a logistical and bureaucratic headache.
Tracking and Compliance Visibility: Lack of clear tracking and communication from freight forwarders or customs brokers regarding where the shipment stands in the “temporary export” workflow.
Double Taxation Risks: The constant fear of paying customs duties and taxes twice—once during the initial import and again when the item returns.
Complex Customs Documentation: Navigating rigid bureaucratic requirements, such as proving the item being exported is the exact same one that was imported (matching serial numbers, original bills of entry).
High Shipping & Handling Costs: Bearing the expensive double-way freight costs , which sometimes approach the value of buying a new item.
Prolonged Transit & Clearance Delays: Long wait times due to customs inspections, regulatory red tape, and potential clearance hold-ups at either border, leading to business downtime.
Strict Timelines & Deadlines: Missing strict statutory windows set by customs authorities; if the goods aren’t re-imported within a specific timeframe, temporary relief exemptions are forfeited.
Solution: Since we understand the customer pain points, and try our best to make the shipment process as smooth as possible even by FCL, LCL, Air or Break bulk shipping mode.
