ABOUT

  • Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies. With approximately 90,000 employees in more than 70 countries and territories, Shell’s products must meet the world’s growing demand for energy in economically, environmentally and socially responsible ways.

The Challenge

Shell Indonesia imports and exports goods every day. To keep the business running smoothly, Shell must ensure all customs entries are filed both accurately and on time. Failure to do so can result in cargo waiting on quay, unnecessary storage charges and delays. In order to ensure their cargo reaches its destination safely and timely, Shell sought out a logistics partner that understands the legal customs requirements and processes in Indonesia. 

The Solution

Our team in Indonesia accepted this challenge head-on and formed a dedicated team of customs experts to handle Shell’s business. The team analyses and audits Shell’s documentation, verifying the information is compliant with country requirements to ensure timely customs clearance.

We helped Shell further streamline their operations by working directly with their supply chain team for customs information. This allows them ample planning and preparation time to clear Shell’s shipments so they can move smoothly by the stipulated deadline.

Our  deep understanding of regulatory compliance on both a global and local scale adds value to Shell’s supply chain by properly handling customs clearance, thereby reducing operational costs. The lead time for customs clearance is significantly shortened from 12 days to 3 days on average, with high levels of accuracy.
