Avoid Walvis Bay Delays: 2026 Playbook

Delay risk falls dramatically when all declaration inputs are complete before vessel arrival.

Delay prevention checklist

  • Confirm importer TIN before filing
  • Validate HS code and CPC with supporting invoices
  • Include freight and insurance for CIF valuation
  • Prepare documents in triplicate
  • Flag restricted goods early

Why this matters

Even one avoidable query can add days of waiting and increase storage and demurrage charges.
