Over the past thirty years Sebenza Freight Services has built strong relationships with major commercial airlines flying to and from South Africa.

From full container loads to consolidated shipments, our team understands the complexities of international shipping and works closely with clients to ensure every consignment moves smoothly from origin to destination.

All goods imported into South Africa are regulated by the South African Revenue Services. Import and export control measures are applied to enforce health, environmental and security measures which protect domestic industries, consumers, and the environment from harmful and dangerous goods imported from other countries.

A vast amount of cargo is shipped every year by air, sea or road. Most of the shipments run smoothly but there are no guarantees, and when things go wrong the shipper can be held responsible for large amounts of money. UPS Compass writes that according to SensiGuard an average of 570 containers was lost at sea each year between 2008 and 2016 in non-catastrophic events.

Warehousing allows the business owner to maintain an efficient, uninterrupted flow of materials and goods from origin to end-user. Your supplier may send stock or raw materials for manufacturing, you may need to find a place to store finished goods before exporting, you may need a solution for inventory control or you may need a base for distribution. Sebenza Freight Services can assist with finding safe, reliable warehouse facilities to assist with better stock management and distribution

Understand all costs involved, such as promotional costs, export financing, logistics, insurance, modification of your product to comply with regulations and standards in the destination country, packaging and labelling, warehousing, etc. Pricing will be different for every export market, and can be a crucial element in the negotiations.
