Customs Clearing Coordination — Coega & Port Elizabeth Harbour
Getting your container off the port and moving
Clearing a household goods container through Coega or Port Elizabeth Harbour is rarely just paperwork. Once customs has cleared a shipment, someone still has to collect it, get it to the right location, and handle the physical loading or offloading — often on a tight window with demurrage costs ticking.
DG Move manages this process for you, start to finish. We work with our own trusted customs clearing partner to get the shipment cleared, then handle everything physical ourselves: collection from the terminal, transport, loading and offloading, and delivery — whether that's to the client's premises or onward to another destination in the Eastern Cape. You deal with one point of contact throughout, not a chain of separate parties.

Why this matters
Both Coega and Port Elizabeth harbour terminals operate on their own free-period windows before demurrage applies. Missing that window is an avoidable cost. Because DG Move is based locally and works these terminals routinely, we can move quickly once clearance comes through — rather than a shipment sitting and accruing charges while transport is arranged from further afield.
