Industries We Serve

Logistics solutions built for your sector

Every industry has unique clearance challenges. We have developed specialised knowledge to solve the problems that matter most to your business.

Mining

Zimbabwe's mining sector requires reliable import of heavy equipment, chemicals, explosives, and specialised machinery. Delays at the border can halt entire operations.

Common Pain Points

  • Equipment stuck at Beitbridge due to permit issues
  • Duty miscalculations on specialised machinery
  • Hazardous goods compliance complexity
  • Unpredictable clearance timelines affecting project schedules

How Frazier Solves This

  • Pre-clearance document review to prevent border rejections
  • Expert tariff classification for mining equipment and chemicals
  • Hazardous goods compliance and permit coordination
  • AEO-facilitated priority processing at all ports
  • Duty deferral and rebate programme guidance

Retail & FMCG

Fast-moving consumer goods need fast-moving clearance. Every day your stock sits at the border is a day your shelves are empty and competitors fill the gap.

Common Pain Points

  • Perishable goods spoiling during extended clearance
  • Inconsistent clearance times affecting stock planning
  • Valuation disputes causing unexpected duty adjustments
  • Multiple product lines requiring different documentation

How Frazier Solves This

  • Priority processing through AEO status for time-sensitive goods
  • Pre-arrival clearance to minimise port dwell time
  • Consistent tariff classification across product ranges
  • Coordinated transport for temperature-sensitive cargo
  • Regular import programme optimisation

Manufacturing

Production lines run on imported raw materials and components. A single missing shipment can idle an entire factory floor and cascade through your delivery schedule.

Common Pain Points

  • Production stoppages from delayed raw material imports
  • Complex BOM (Bill of Materials) requiring multiple tariff codes
  • Rebate and suspension regimes not fully utilised
  • Lack of visibility into shipment status

How Frazier Solves This

  • Just-in-time clearance coordination aligned to production schedules
  • Complete tariff classification for complex BOMs
  • Rebate and duty suspension programme management
  • Daily status updates so you can plan production confidently
  • Bonded warehouse coordination for buffer stock

Agriculture & Agro-Processing

Agricultural inputs are seasonal and time-critical. Fertiliser that arrives after planting season is useless. We understand the urgency and compliance requirements of agri-imports.

Common Pain Points

  • Seasonal inputs arriving late due to clearance delays
  • SPS (Sanitary and Phytosanitary) certificate requirements
  • Fumigation and inspection coordination
  • Import permits for controlled agricultural products

How Frazier Solves This

  • Pre-season clearance planning and document preparation
  • SPS compliance coordination with Plant Protection Institute
  • Fumigation scheduling and certificate management
  • Priority AEO processing for time-critical seasonal inputs
  • Bulk import programme management

Cross-Border Trade

Whether formal or informal, cross-border trade needs proper documentation to avoid penalties and seizures. We help traders comply while keeping goods moving.

Common Pain Points

  • Goods seized due to incomplete documentation
  • Penalties from incorrect declarations
  • Difficulty navigating SADC trade agreement requirements
  • Currency and valuation challenges

How Frazier Solves This

  • Multi-port clearance capability
