Simplifying your global trade needs
Customs Clearing • Freight Forwarding • Transport & Logistics • Procurement, Sourcing & Supply • Trade Facilitation
Moving goods across borders involves more than transport. Documentation, customs classification, valuation, permits, freight arrangements, border processes and communication all have to come together.
Contizoe Global Solutions (CGS) helps businesses coordinate these moving parts — from preparation before shipment to customs clearance and onward movement.

What we do
From source to border. From border to business.
Whether you're importing commercial goods, coordinating cross-border freight or sourcing products from South Africa, CGS helps bring the different stages of your transaction together.
How we work
Built around the realities of cross-border trade.
Trade works better when the different parts of the supply chain communicate. We treat customs, freight, transport and procurement as one connected process.
Before shipment
Many customs problems can be prevented before goods leave the supplier — product information, classification, import controls and origin all matter early.
At the border
A customs declaration depends on accurate commercial information. We prepare the file, coordinate assessment and examination where required, and monitor entry.
Beyond the border
Transport operations depend on documentation and border readiness. We coordinate onward movement and keep the parties involved on the same page.

FAQ
Questions we're asked often.
Not sure where to start? Send us what you have — we'll tell you what else may be needed.
Do I need to know my HS code before contacting CGS?
No. Send us an accurate product description and supporting technical information where available. CGS can undertake the classification work required for customs preparation.
When should I send my documents?
Preferably before the cargo reaches the border. Earlier information gives us more opportunity to identify missing documents or unresolved requirements.
Can CGS provide an estimated duty before shipment?
Where sufficient product, value, origin and freight information is available, CGS can prepare a preliminary estimate. The final amount remains subject to customs assessment and the applicable treatment.
Do goods from South Africa automatically qualify for preferential duty?
No. Purchase or shipment from South Africa does not by itself establish qualifying origin. Applicable rules of origin and supporting evidence must be considered.
Can CGS source goods from South Africa?
Yes. CGS works with sister company Silvex Import & Export on South African sourcing, supplier coordination and cross-border requirements.
Do you handle transit cargo?
Yes. CGS supports customs and operational coordination for qualifying transit movements through Zimbabwe.
