SVC-04 — LOGISTICS COMPLIANCE

Keep the goods moving and the inspectors satisfied.

Customs, biosecurity and freight process reviews for importers, exporters, forwarders and 3PLs — the procedures, records and training that keep clearances clean, MPI happy and demurrage off the invoice.

WHERE IT GOES WRONG

The three failure points we see most.

FP-01
Clearance errors that compound

Wrong codes, missing declarations, late lodgements — each one small, together a pattern that draws audit attention and holds containers.

FP-02
Transitional facility drift

TF operator obligations that were understood at approval and forgotten by year three — until an MPI verifier visits.

FP-03
Knowledge in one head

The person who knows the process is the process. When they're away, clearances slow and errors spike.

SEQUENCE — A COMPLIANCE REVIEW

Four steps, typically 3–5 weeks.

STEP 01
Trace live consignments

We follow real shipments through your process, end to end.

STEP 02
Map against obligations

Customs, MPI and TF requirements matched to what actually happens.

STEP 03
Fix & document

Procedures, checklists and records rebuilt where the gaps are.

STEP 04
Train & verify

The team trained in the new process; a follow-up trace proves it holds.

Q&A — LOGISTICS COMPLIANCE

Yes — pre-audit reviews run exactly like the real thing: same evidence, same questions, findings triaged by risk with the critical items fixed first.

Yes — TF operator requirements, accredited persons, records and facility standards are core scope. We'll also run the annual internal checks MPI expects between verifications.

The review scales down cleanly: for a small importer it's usually a week — process traced, one procedure set, one checklist, training over a morning. Fixed-price like everything else.

NEXT STEP

Trace one shipment with us and see what surfaces.

A thirty-minute call, the scope agreed, and a fixed-price review in writing.
