How it works
From ship to gate-out, and who does what.
CCTL handles the container at every step marked in orange. Clearance stays with your clearing agent.
- 01Port & shipping line
Discharged at the coast
The container comes off the vessel at Mombasa or Dar es Salaam and moves inland to CCTL under customs bond.
- 02CCTL
Gate-in
Seal and condition checked on arrival, then the container is logged and stacked.
- 03CCTL
Storage
Held in our URA-bonded yard until it's called for examination or release.
- 04Customs + CCTL
Examination
URA and other agencies inspect as required. We position the container and provide the labour.
- 05Your clearing agent
Clearance
Your agent lodges the documents and settles duties with URA. CCTL does not handle this step.
- 06CCTL
Release & gate-out
With customs release and the delivery order in hand, we load your haulier and check the container out.
