The rates, the permits and the port pages our customers ask us for — gathered in one place, so you are not hunting for them at the wrong hour.
What the shipment will cost
Duty is charged on the customs value, and the customs value is settled by the rate on the day of declaration — not the rate on your invoice.
The daily ringgit exchange rates — what a foreign-currency invoice is worth on the day of declaration.
The department portal — tariff, legislation, forms and the branch directory.
What has to be approved
A permit that arrives after the vessel does is the most expensive piece of paper in forwarding. These are the agencies that issue them.
The certification NL holds for halal logistics, and the directory of certified operators.
Who you declare to,
Where the cargo lands
Container and conventional terminals, the ferry and the cruise berth. Our own front door.
The figures behind
KLIA and the state airports, including the cargo terminals air freight clears through.
And the answers we
Ten short guides from our own forwarding desk — the arithmetic, the documents and the charges that decide what a shipment costs.
CBM and chargeable weight
Why the weight on the invoice is often not the weight on the scale.
Container types and sizes
Which box your cargo fits, and what it costs you to pick the wrong one.
FCL, LCL and groupage
Whether to buy a whole container or a share of one — and the four ways that can be arranged.
Reading a Bill of Lading
Which document you are holding, who issued it, and what has to happen before the cargo is released.
Demurrage, detention and storage
Three charges that look alike on an invoice and come from three different places.
Freight prepaid or collect
Who pays the carrier, where they pay it, and why the two words on the bill of lading matter.
These are outside sites
Each link opens the agency’s own page in a new tab. Rates, tariffs and permit rules change without notice, and nothing here is advice on your particular shipment. Checked 22 September 2026 — tell us if one has moved.
