DSV Skyservices provides you with specialist, cost effective air and sea logistics solutions for perishable shipments to and from Southern Africa, and to do so we have built long-term relationships with leading shippers, consignees and service providers.

- Ensuring sound professional relationships with all authorities involved in the logistics chain including Customs & Excise, Phytosanitary, Veterinary, Agricultural Governmental Services and the Perishable Product Export Control Board

Claims
The biggest concern for any exporter of perishable products is damage or loss that may occur during transit. When this happens, a claim is instituted against the carrier. The time period in which claims get finalized depends largely on how soon and comprehensively information was supplied to the carrier. Our highly qualified staff will guide you through this process to ensure we avoid unnecessary delays in settlement.
