Practical tools and explanations for proposed gold bullion, polished diamond and international air-cargo consignments.
Five steps before a booking.
Describe the cargo
Record the nature of the goods, quantity, measured weight or carat data, and distinguishing characteristics. Do not substitute an illustrative calculation for actual measurements.
Establish ownership
Prepare authentic title, purchase or gift-transfer records and identify the proper consignor and recipient.
Support the valuation
Use defensible invoices or professional assessments. Market estimates, customs value and insured amounts are not necessarily the same.
Review carrier terms
Check commodity acceptance, route, handling requirements, written insurance conditions and brokerage arrangements.
Check actual milestones
Use authentic cargo receipts and carrier documentation to substantiate pickup, handover and final delivery.
Request guidance
Provide your cargo type and general route through our contact form. Detailed identity and security documents should be shared only by approved secure methods.
