Update Angola:
Ensure a Flawless ARCCLA Document!
We all know how valuable time is in the logistics sector. That’s why we want to work with you to ensure every shipment runs smoothly, without unnecessary hurdles. A critical part of this? The ARCCLA document.
Why is the ARCCLA document so important?
The ARCCLA document is the cornerstone of your customs declaration. If the details here don’t perfectly match the official documents (such as the BL, commercial invoice, freight invoice, and DU document), delays occur. Let’s be honest: no one wants extra administrative work or delayed deliveries due to avoidable errors.
Common pitfalls we still encounter today:
Typos
A wrong number or misspelled name
Inconsistent data
Between the ARCCLA and other documents
Missing information
That later needs to be added
The result? Corrections, delays, and frustration. But the good news is: this is entirely preventable!
Tips to fill out the ARCCLA document flawlessly:
