Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these delay predictions?

Our predictions are based on real-time port data, historical trends, and current conditions. Accuracy ranges from 85-90% for major trade routes. Actual delays may vary based on unforeseen circumstances.

How often is port data updated?

Port congestion data updates every 2 hours. Weather and seasonal factors update daily. Major disruption alerts are posted immediately as they occur.

Can I reduce customs clearance delays?

Yes. Complete documentation, accurate HS codes, and pre-filing can reduce customs delays by 2-3 days. Using experienced customs brokers also helps significantly.

What’s the best shipping method to avoid delays?

Air freight has fewer delay risks but costs more. Sea freight is cheaper but has more variables. For time-sensitive shipments under 100kg, express courier often provides the best balance.
