What we do

The work that sits around the shipment

With a strong network of logistics agents worldwide and an authentic supplier database, SMSEA has emerged as a reliable partner for the parts of international trade that do not fit neatly under sea, air or customs.

Insurance, certificates, legalisations, sourcing support — individually small, but each one capable of stopping a shipment or costing you a claim. They are handled by the same team, alongside the freight.

What it covers

Included in every other services job

01

Worldwide agent network

Partners in the markets you trade with, so there is someone accountable at the far end of the move.

02

Supplier sourcing

A vetted supplier database, for clients who are looking for the goods as well as the freight.

03

Cargo insurance

Arranged against the value and the risk of the routing, so a loss does not become your loss.

04

Trade documentation

Certificates, legalisations and the supporting papers a destination country asks for.

Worth knowing

Why shippers choose other services

01

A named party at the far end

Agents in your destination markets mean someone is responsible when the cargo lands.

02

A loss does not become your loss

Cargo insurance arranged against the actual value and the actual risk of the routing.

03

Documents the country actually wants

Certificates and legalisations vary by destination. We check before the goods move.

04

Sourcing support when you need it

A vetted supplier database, for clients looking for the goods as well as the freight.

05

Fewer providers to manage

These sit with the freight rather than with three more vendors and three more invoices.

06

Straight answers on what you need

If a service will not help your shipment, we will say so rather than quote it.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about other services

What does cargo insurance actually cover?

It depends on the policy and the routing. We will explain what is covered and what is excluded before you decide, rather than after a claim.

Which trade documents will my shipment need?

That depends on the commodity and the destination — certificates of origin, inspection certificates and legalisations are the common ones. We check the requirement before booking.

Can you help us find suppliers?

We keep an authentic supplier database and can support sourcing alongside the freight, for clients who need both.

Do you handle shipments other forwarders booked?

Yes. Insurance, documentation and clearance can be arranged on their own without the freight leg being ours.

What if I need something not listed here?

Ask. If we can arrange it properly we will, and if we cannot we will tell you that instead of taking the booking.

Not sure this is the right mode?

Tell us the cargo. We will tell you how it should move.

If another service fits it better we will say so — including when the answer is that you do not need us at all.
