Every country in the world has its own regulatory authority governing the importation and exportation of goods and services. At WRL, we are able to advise our clients on all customs requirements related to the movement of their cargo. We can also lodge clearances for import and export on their behalf, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.
In some cases, it may be possible to apply for special tariff concessions, which can minimize the payable import duty and tax, saving our clients on importation costs that would normally apply. At WRL, we continually strive to identify avenues that create ongoing savings for our clients. Our expert customs brokers ensure that we are utilizing any current tariff concessions, free trade agreements (FTA), or applying for new tariff concessions to create duty savings for our clients.

As the cargo handled by WRL is often of high value, we strongly advise our clients to obtain marine insurance to protect their goods during transit. We can offer highly competitive coverage rates and believe that the benefits of having insurance far outweigh the potential consequences of not having it. With insurance coverage, our clients can have peace of mind knowing that their goods are protected in case of unforeseen events such as accidents, theft, or damage during transport. Our team can provide guidance and assistance with obtaining marine insurance, ensuring that our clients have the necessary coverage to protect their valuable cargo.
WRL’s escrow services provide an added layer of security for international transactions, giving you peace of mind that your funds are safe until the terms of the agreement have been met. Our dedicated team of professionals will ensure that the transaction process is seamless and transparent, providing regular updates and keeping you informed throughout the entire process. Whether you are purchasing equipment, goods or services, our escrow services can help mitigate the risk of fraud and ensure that you receive what you paid for.
Simply put, Escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party (in this case, WRL) holds and regulates payment of funds for the transaction between two parties (buyer and seller). The funds are held in an escrow account until it is verified that all aspects of the transaction have been completed and agreed upon by both parties. Once all terms and conditions have been met, the funds are released to the seller. This provides a secure way for buyers to purchase goods or services from sellers without the risk of fraud or non-delivery, and for sellers to ensure they will receive payment before releasing their goods. Escrow services are commonly used for large-scale transactions, such as the purchase of machinery or equipment and are particularly beneficial in situations where trust between the buyer and seller is limited or when the relationship between parties is new and trust has not yet been established.
