For our overseas shipments, which customs work was requested, ETC International Freight System also works with a respectable freight forwarding company

AFSAS (PTY) Ltd. was founded in 1996. Since its inception, our client base has increased steadily. Part of this success is due to referrals given by existing clients to other importers/exporters & USA partners. Being a modern forwarding company we offer all the services expected from a progressive, young agent and our management style is hands-on and pro-active.

  • To provide each of our clients with efficient, high
         quality service, thereby requiring minimum involvement by the client.
  • To identify and customize each client's needs into a
         distinctive, personal package.
  • To fulfill freight challenges by recognizing new developments and ever changing markets.
  • By treating our clients and suppliers as partners and friends, nurturing long lasting relationships ensuring the goals are met.
  • Through global network of agents, we are able to provide transport solutions for the
    common as well as for the "out-of-the-way" areas. Our multinational expertise ensures perfect solutions for unique requests.
  • Our freight monitoring system has been designed to have tight control of your cargo from collection to dispatch and delivery to your company in South Africa.  From
    the time we receive your notification to the time it arrives at your doorstep.
  • This unique, in-house cargo program, has been developed and designed to give full landed costs at the press of a button.  Whether sea or airfreight, import or export, we provide this service free of charge.  The advantages of such an exercise are various.  Whether you're considering a new product line or anew trading area, or if just to pre-plan your cash flow, the "bottom line" will indicate your exposure/cost
    we control your consignment's progress.
  • Speed is second nature for airfreight cargo and pre-faxed or emailed
    documentation ensures that your cargo is cleared through customs' prior to its arrival.
  • Our global network is able to offer a diversity of services. Rate negotiations with shipping lines, for example, are based on large volumes and the benefits thereof are passed on to our clients.

    allows AFSAS to offer rates far below those of our larger competitors. For all our traffic routes we use prime carriers, thereby ensuring regular services and reliability.

    areas not traditionally represented by most agents.

    reliable services to and from the neighboring countries. With our tracking
