§ IServices

Seven engagements.

One leads — Trade Restructuring. The other six come up as follow-ons or stand-alone scopes.

02

Customs, Duty and Compliance Optimisation

CECPA · AfCFTA · SADC

HS-code review, tariff classification, preferential-trade-agreement eligibility (CECPA, AfCFTA, SADC, COMESA, China, UAE, EU iEPA). The cost of getting classification wrong is paid quietly on every shipment.

03

Incoterm and Supplier Terms Review

Incoterms 2020

Incoterms 2020 rewritten for your trade. Where the risk transfers, where the cost transfers, who controls the carrier, and who owns the insurance gap. Usually combined with a supplier-terms review.

04

Carrier and Rate Strategy

Sea · Air · Multimodal

Sea, air, multimodal. Tender benchmarking against current rates, named-account programmes with shipping lines, contract structure for volume customers. We do not represent any single carrier; the recommendation is yours.

05

Supply Chain Strategy

Sourcing · Lanes · Hubs

Sourcing footprint, lane consolidation, network design for inbound stock and onward distribution. Where Mauritius sits in your supply chain (transit, re-export, hub) and what that should change about the upstream design.

06

Mauritius Freeport and Hub Strategy

Bonded · Re-export · IOC

Mauritius as a re-export base into Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. Freeport regime, bonded warehousing, value-add in the zone, transit options. We help you work out whether and how routing through the Freeport fits your trade.

07

Training and Capacity Building

In-house · Tailored

In-house training for trade, finance, and operations teams. Incoterms, customs procedures, document flow, Mauritian VAT and BoE process. Tailored to your operating model.
