Why Choose an On-Site Limassol Port Clearing Agent?

Our office is located inside the Cyprus Ports Authority Management Building at Limassol New Port. This proximity gives us a significant operational advantage: we can submit customs declarations, respond to inspection notices, and coordinate with port authorities faster than agents working remotely.

Limassol Port is Cyprus's largest commercial port, handling container traffic, bulk cargo, ro-ro vehicles, and passenger ferries. All goods arriving by sea must be declared to the Cyprus Customs & Excise Department before they can be released. As licensed customs agents, we are authorised to act on your behalf for all customs formalities.
