Most demurrage is not caused by shipping. It is caused by a declaration that had to be amended, a permit nobody applied for, or an invoice that did not match the packing list. Every day of that delay is a storage charge someone has to pay.
As a licensed clearing agent we lodge declarations with Maldives Customs ahead of arrival, classify goods correctly under the harmonised system, and pre-check the permits your product actually needs: Maldives Food and Drug Authority, Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, telecom and communications approvals, controlled-item licences and duty exemptions.
What is included
Import & export declarations
Electronic lodgement with Maldives Customs for sea, air, courier and personal-effects consignments.
HS classification & valuation
Correct tariff headings and declared values, reviewed before submission to avoid amendments, penalties and re-assessment.
Permits & regulatory approvals
MFDA, agriculture and quarantine, communications authority and controlled-goods permits applied for in parallel with the declaration.
Duty exemption & concessions
Applications under investment, tourism and government project schemes, prepared with the supporting evidence they require.
Temporary import & re-export
Temporary admission for event equipment, film gear, exhibition freight and contractor plant.
Inspection attendance
Our officers attend physical examinations so questions are answered on the spot instead of by email the next morning.
