Why use a licensed customs broker?

In Madagascar, only an authorised party can file a customs declaration on behalf of a company. The licensed customs broker (CAD) is accountable for the accuracy of the file: tariff classification, value, origin and customs procedure.

A well-prepared file means fewer inspections, lower storage costs and faster access to your goods.

What we handle

  • File check before arrival: invoice, packing list, transport document, certificates
  • Tariff classification and duty and tax calculation
  • Filing of the declaration and follow-up of documentary and physical inspection
  • Release and collection of the goods
  • Bonded storage in our licensed warehouse and clearance area (MAD)
  • Delivery to your warehouse anywhere in Madagascar

Import and export, air and ocean

We clear air freight at Ivato airport (Antananarivo) and ocean freight at the port of Toamasina. For exports, we prepare the declaration and the documents required for loading: vanilla, spices, lychees, seafood, essential oils, textiles and mining products.

Our bonded warehouse (MAD) at Ivato

As MAD licence holders, we receive and store your goods under customs control while they await clearance. Your air cargo no longer waits at the terminal: it is cleared at our facility, right next to the airport.

Frequently asked questions

Customs clearance

How long does customs clearance take in Madagascar?

It depends on the file, the type of goods and the inspection decided by customs. A complete file checked in advance is the best way to cut delays: send us your documents before the goods arrive.

Which documents are needed to clear an import?

Usually the commercial invoice, the packing list, the transport document (bill of lading or air waybill) and, depending on the goods, a certificate of origin or health or phytosanitary certificates. We will give you the exact list for your product.

Can you clear goods shipped by another forwarder?

Yes. We can handle customs clearance and delivery only, whoever organised the international transport.
