Healthcare cargo, cleared and delivered with care
You decide what moves. We run the South African end: clearing it quickly and getting it to your facility.
The range is agreed before the booking is made. Where the shipment is packed with data loggers, the readings stay with the shipment file.

Permits and licences
Medicines and many healthcare products are regulated in South Africa. Pharmaceutical cargo moves subject to the permits and licences required. Tell us what you hold, and we confirm what is still needed before anything is booked.
Questions we get
Do I need permits?
Many products, and medicines in particular, are regulated in South Africa. We confirm what is required for your cargo before booking, and pharmaceutical cargo moves subject to the permits and licences required.
How long does it take?
For ordinary cargo, Europe to Cape Town or Johannesburg is typically three to five days door to door by air, including clearing. Regulated cargo such as medicines can take longer while permits are checked. We confirm the schedule when we quote.
What about duty and VAT?
We work out duty and import VAT from the tariff classification before the cargo lands and show it in the same written landed cost as freight and delivery.
Who do I deal with?
One desk in Cape Town or Johannesburg, from the quote to delivery at your door.
One written landed cost, usually within one working day. No obligation.
