AfCFTA countries, one rulebook

We work out which tariffs and origin rules apply to your shipment, trade by trade.

KYB verified

You know who you're dealing with

We check the company register, who really owns it, and the sanctions lists — before you trade.

1. Funded

2. Shipped

3. Delivered

Your money moves when the goods do

Funds stay in escrow until the shipment reaches its next step. Every release needs two-factor approval.

The four hard parts

Everything a cross-border trade needs, in one place

01

Landed cost

Not just the sticker price

Freight, duty, insurance, VAT and handling, worked out for your route — and you can see where every number came from.

02

Compliance

Screened on every trade

We check who you're dealing with — company records, real owners, sanctions lists — before any money moves.

03

Routes & freight

Tracked door to door

Forwarders bid for the job, then the shipment reports its own progress straight back to your order.

04

Documents

Generated, not chased

Invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin, built from the trade you've already done.

What's in the container

The goods behind the paperwork

Cocoa out of Abidjan. Wax print out of Cotonou. Stock sitting bonded in Durban. None of that is new — doing the tariffs, the freight and the paperwork in one place is.

Landed cost, not sticker price

Know the real cost before you commit.

Freight, duty, insurance, VAT and handling — sourced and versioned, corridor by corridor. Every figure carries its provenance, so you compare offers on what a shipment will actually cost to land, not the number on the invoice.

From quote to cleared

Getting a price is easy. Getting it there is the hard part.

Rules of origin, port handling, bonded transit, VAT at the other end — the things that turn a good price into a bad trade. We work them out before you sign, not after the container has sailed.
