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.
Partners in the markets you trade with, so there is someone accountable at the far end of the move.
A vetted supplier database, for clients who are looking for the goods as well as the freight.
Arranged against the value and the risk of the routing, so a loss does not become your loss.
Certificates, legalisations and the supporting papers a destination country asks for.
Agents in your destination markets mean someone is responsible when the cargo lands.
Cargo insurance arranged against the actual value and the actual risk of the routing.
Certificates and legalisations vary by destination. We check before the goods move.
A vetted supplier database, for clients looking for the goods as well as the freight.
These sit with the freight rather than with three more vendors and three more invoices.
If a service will not help your shipment, we will say so rather than quote it.
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.
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.
We keep an authentic supplier database and can support sourcing alongside the freight, for clients who need both.
Yes. Insurance, documentation and clearance can be arranged on their own without the freight leg being ours.
Ask. If we can arrange it properly we will, and if we cannot we will tell you that instead of taking the booking.

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