How BAC Logistics Integrates Freight, Warehousing & Customs

In today’s competitive logistics environment, businesses need more than just a freight provider; they need a strategic logistics partner who can coordinate every moving part of the supply chain. That’s where BAC Logistics stands out.

With expertise in freight transport, bonded and non-bonded warehousing, and customs clearing and consultation, BAC offers a truly integrated logistics solution designed to eliminate bottlenecks and streamline delivery. Whether you’re moving goods across town or across borders, BAC’s end-to-end approach ensures that your cargo arrives on time, every time.

 

Why Integration Matters in Modern Logistics

Supply chains are no longer linear; they're dynamic and interconnected. When freight, storage, and customs processes operate in silos, businesses face delays, extra costs, and miscommunication. BAC solves this challenge by offering an integrated service model, aligning all key logistics services under one trusted partner.

 

Step 1: Freight That Fits Your Business

BAC Logistics begins with tailored freight transport solutions, ensuring your goods move efficiently by air, sea, or road.

 

Air Freight

For urgent, high-value, or lightweight goods, BAC’s air freight services offer fast turnaround times and secure handling. The team handles airport clearances and documentation to avoid costly delays.

 

Sea Freight

Ideal for bulk or cost-sensitive shipments, BAC coordinates FCL and LCL sea freight, including port handling and customs pre-clearance. This is especially useful for businesses importing or exporting from Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

 

Road Freight

From local deliveries to cross-border transport into SADC and COMESA regions, BAC’s road freight fleet is equipped for liquor, mining goods, high-value cargo, and more. Route familiarity and compliance expertise ensure smooth transit across even the most complex regional borders.

 

Step 2: Warehousing That Supports Supply Chain Flow

Freight efficiency is only part of the equation; strategic warehousing ensures that goods are positioned and managed correctly for the next stage of their journey.

 

Bonded and Non-Bonded Warehousing

BAC offers both bonded warehouses (for goods under customs control) and non-bonded storage (for cleared cargo). This flexibility allows clients to delay duty payments, store high-value inventory, or prepare goods for regional re-export.

 

High Security & Sector Specific Storage

BAC’s warehousing infrastructure is designed for:

  • Mining and industrial equipment

  • Liquor and regulated products

  • Aerospace components and AOG cargo

  • General FMCG inventory

With 24/7 monitoring, inventory control, and integrated freight connections, BAC’s warehouses act as a critical bridge between supply and distribution.

 

Step 3: Customs Compliance Without the Complexity

For cross-border and international shipments, customs clearing is one of the most complex and time-sensitive aspects of the supply chain. BAC removes the burden through expert customs clearing, pre-clearance, and consultation services.

 

Customs Pre-Clearance

BAC ensures that all documentation is verified and submitted before your shipment arrives, reducing clearance delays at ports and borders.

 

Tariff Classification & Cost Forecasting

Incorrect HS codes, duty miscalculations, or incomplete paperwork can lead to penalties and disruptions. BAC’s experienced team reviews and corrects these issues proactively so you don’t pay more than you should.

 

Regulatory Consultation

From selecting the right Incoterms to navigating SARS requirements and regional compliance, BAC acts as a trusted advisor at every step.

 

End-to-End Integration: How It All Comes Together

BAC’s logistics strength lies in the coordination between freight, warehousing, and customs teams, each working in sync to deliver real-time visibility and efficiency.
