Going the Extra Mile
Although cargo shipment remains our core business, we offer a number of support
operations and value-added services that enable you to exercise greater control
over your supply chain. These services include:
• Customs liaison and consultancy
We work very closely with national customs authorities and can offer extensive advice
on customs procedures and rates of duty, as well as providing a full customs brokerage
service.
• Hazardous goods
Legislation in many countries requires that all companies distributing goods by
air, road, rail or inland waterways need to have designated safety advisors. We
offer dangerous goods consultancy services to help you meet any legislative requirements.
• Fiscal services
Where necessary, we can provide full fiscal representation, market intelligence,
and assist in product purchase and sales, including all documentation.
• E-capabilities
For many years, FPS has been a leading e-business player in the world shipping industry.
Our innovative and customer-oriented IT solutions have enabled us to meet a variety
of key customer needs.
• Liability insurance
All offices of the FPS Group are covered by liability insurance.
• International affiliations
FPS Group is registered with all shipping related controlling organisations; such
as FIATA, IATA and Chamber of Commerce, as well as the majority of offices having
attained ISO 9001: 2000/Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance.
These support services enable you to move your cargoes direct from origin through
to final destination, with total peace of mind.

routes, why choose Famous Pacific Shipping?
