Advisory
Some customs questions go beyond a single declaration or shipment. We advise on trade, movement, and storage issues that affect dangerous goods, helping you make clearer decisions before problems build up.

Classification
Classification affects declarations, duties, and how goods are treated downstream in customs handling. We help determine the correct customs code so the process starts from a more defensible basis. That matters because classification is rarely just a technical label. It can shape what follows in the shipment, the paperwork, and the commercial treatment of the goods.
Preferential origin
Preferential origin can affect duty treatment, trade access, and the document requirements around the goods. We help clarify origin status in the right commercial and customs context so decisions are based on something stronger than assumption. That is especially useful when customers need more certainty before goods move or before a declaration is prepared.
Export controls
Export controls can place additional restrictions on what may be shipped, where it may go, and under what conditions movement is allowed. We help identify those issues early so they can be addressed before they block the wider process. In practice, that means looking at the destination, the goods, and the rules that may apply before the shipment enters a more difficult stage.
Customs affairs
Recurring customs issues can become a steady source of delay, confusion, or internal friction if they are handled one case at a time without solving the pattern behind them. We support customers with practical customs guidance that helps improve control over daily practice. That may involve process clarity, stronger internal routines, or more structural support around recurring problem areas.
Every DG shipment poses unique challenges. We’re here to solve them.
From a single missing link to the entire chain: we determine what your shipment needs and handle those part of the process you’re looking to outsource. Practical, safe, and always in full compliance.
Why Special Cargo?
Advisory work only helps when it remains practical. We focus on customs questions that affect real shipment decisions, storage choices, trade treatment, and internal process control around dangerous goods. That keeps the advice grounded in daily operations instead of drifting into theory. Customers come away with clearer choices and a stronger basis for the next step.
