Air freight is the right choice when the cargo is urgent, valuable, or small enough that sea freight's overland leg through Mombasa or Djibouti costs more time than it saves in money. ### Air freight at a glance | | | | --- | --- | | Origins served | Istanbul, Dubai, Guangzhou | | Destination | Juba International Airport, South Sudan | | Chargeable weight | Greater of actual weight and L×W×H (cm) ÷ 6,000 | | Volumetric equivalent | 1 CBM ≈ 167 kg | | Consolidation | Available — small shipments share a booking | | Customs clearance | Handled by Intaccess in Juba | ### What we handle We take responsibility for the shipment from the point we collect it to the point it reaches you in Juba. That means you deal with one company rather than a supplier, a forwarder, an airline, a customs broker and a driver separately. - Collection from your supplier in Türkiye, the UAE or China - Inspection and repacking where the supplier's packaging will not survive handling - Consolidation with other cargo, so small shipments are not charged as though they filled an aircraft - Airline booking and airway bill - Export documentation at origin - Customs clearance at Juba International Airport - Release from the customs warehouse and final delivery ### How air freight is priced Air freight is charged on **chargeable weight**, which is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is the standard air-cargo calculation: length × width × height in centimetres, divided by 6,000. One cubic metre therefore bills as roughly 167 kg. This is why light, bulky cargo — cushions, empty containers, packaging materials — costs far more to fly than its weight suggests, and why dense cargo such as machine parts or tinned goods is comparatively cheap. If you tell us dimensions as well as weight when you ask for a quote, you get an accurate figure the first time. On top of the freight itself, a landed cost includes origin handling, the airway bill, security screening, destination handling, customs duty and clearance. We quote these separately rather than bundling them, so you can see what you are paying for. ### What documents you need South Sudanese customs will not release cargo without paperwork that matches it. The most common cause of delay is not the flight — it is an invoice that disagrees with the packing list. - Commercial invoice showing the real transaction value - Packing list with the contents, weight and dimensions of each carton - Air waybill, which we issue - Certificate of origin, where the goods or the duty rate require one - Import permit or licence for regulated categories — pharmaceuticals, food, telecoms equipment, chemicals - The consignee's tax identification and business registration ### What cannot go by air Airlines refuse or restrict a standard list of goods, and the restriction applies regardless of who books the shipment. Lithium batteries, aerosols, flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosives and magnetised material are all either forbidden or require dangerous-goods handling and declaration. Tell us before you buy if your cargo includes any of these. A shipment stopped at origin screening is a delay; a shipment stopped because it was undeclared is a fine. ### Frequently asked questions **How is air freight to Juba calculated?** On chargeable weight: the greater of the shipment's actual weight and its volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6,000. One cubic metre bills as approximately 167 kg. Give us both weight and dimensions and we can quote accurately. **Can you collect goods directly from my supplier?** Yes. We collect from suppliers in Türkiye, the UAE and China, inspect the cargo, and repack it where the supplier's packaging will not survive handling. You do not need to arrange anything at the origin end. **Do you handle customs clearance in Juba?** Yes. Clearance at Juba International Airport is part of the service, along with release from the customs warehouse and delivery. We hold an office at the airport customs warehouse. **What makes air freight cost more than expected?** Usually volume rather than weight. Light, bulky cargo is charged on its volumetric weight, so a large box of light goods can bill several times its actual weight. Dense cargo is comparatively cheap to fly. **Can I ship a small quantity, or is there a minimum?** Small shipments are consolidated with other cargo so you are not charged as though you filled an aircraft. Ask us about the current minimum for your origin. **What happens if my paperwork does not match the cargo?** Customs holds the shipment until it does. This is the most common cause of delay we see — an invoice that disagrees with the packing list. Send us the documents before the cargo moves and we will check them. ## Sea freight to South Sudan URL: https://intaccessltd.com/services/sea-freight South Sudan is landlocked, so sea freight is always sea plus road: cargo discharges at Mombasa in Kenya or Djibouti, clears transit, and travels overland to Juba. Intaccess arranges the whole chain as one shipment. Sea freight is materially cheaper than air for anything heavy or bulky, and the trade-off is time. ### Sea freight at a glance | | | | --- | --- | | Gateway ports | Mombasa (Kenya), Djibouti | | Final leg | Overland corridor to Juba | | Container options | FCL 20ft / 40ft, or LCL shared | | Chargeable basis | Greater of weight or volume, 1 tonne per CBM | | Best for | Heavy, bulky or non-urgent cargo | | Customs | Transit clearance plus South Sudan import clearance | ### Why sea freight to Juba is a two-leg journey There is no commercial seaport in South Sudan. Every container arrives through a neighbouring country's port and completes its journey by road. Mombasa is the usual gateway for cargo from China and the Gulf; Djibouti serves some routes from Türkiye and Europe. That second leg is the part inexperienced shippers underestimate. Port congestion, transit-country customs, the condition of the corridor road and the border crossing all sit between the vessel arriving and the cargo reaching Juba. We plan and quote for both legs together, because a sea freight price that stops at the port is not a price you can budget against. ### Full container or shared container **FCL** — a full container, 20ft or 40ft — is yours alone. It is the right choice once your cargo fills most of a container, and it reduces handling because the container is sealed at origin and opened at destination. **LCL** — less than container load — means your cargo shares a container with other shippers'. You pay for the space you use, measured in cubic metres, with a minimum charge. LCL adds consolidation and deconsolidation steps at both ends, so it is slower per shipment but far cheaper for smaller volumes. Sea freight is charged on the greater of weight or volume, at one tonne per cubic metre. Unlike air, where the ratio is roughly 167 kg per cubic metre, dense cargo is what drives sea cost. ### What we handle As with air, the point is that one company is accountable end to end. - Collection and export clearance at origin - Container booking, FCL or LCL - Bill of lading and shipping documentation - Port handling and transit clearance at Mombasa or Djibouti - Overland transport on the corridor to Juba - South Sudanese customs clearance and duty - Final delivery ### What documents you need Sea freight carries the same documentary discipline as air, with the addition of transit paperwork for the country the cargo passes through. - Commercial invoice matching the actual transaction value - Packing list itemised by container or pallet - Bill of lading, which we issue - Certificate of origin where required - Transit documentation for Kenya or Djibouti - Import permit for regulated goods - Consignee tax identification and business registration ### Frequently asked questions **Can cargo be shipped by sea directly to South Sudan?** No. South Sudan is landlocked and has no commercial seaport. Sea freight discharges at Mombasa in Kenya or at Djibouti, then travels overland to Juba. We arrange both legs as a single shipment. **Should I choose FCL or LCL?** FCL — a full 20ft or 40ft container — makes sense once your cargo fills most of a container, and it reduces handling because the container is sealed at origin. LCL means sharing a container and paying for the cubic metres you use, which is cheaper for smaller volumes but adds consolidation steps at both ends. **How is sea freight priced?** On the greater of weight or volume, calculated at one tonne per cubic metre. This is the opposite emphasis to air freight, where one cubic metre bills as roughly 167 kg, so dense cargo drives the cost by sea and bulky cargo drives it by air. **Is sea freight much cheaper than air?** For heavy or bulky cargo, substantially — which is why it is the default for construction materials, machinery, vehicles and bulk goods. The trade-off is time, and the overland leg from the port is a real part of that. **What usually delays sea freight to Juba?** Rarely the vessel. Port congestion at Mombasa, transit-country customs, corridor road conditions and the border crossing are where time is lost. We quote both legs together so the plan reflects that. **Do you handle the transit paperwork through Kenya?** Yes. Transit documentation for the gateway country is part of the shipment, along with South Sudanese import clearance at the other end. ## Trade and sourcing URL: https://intaccessltd.com/services/trade-sourcing Intaccess finds suppliers in Türkiye, China and the UAE, negotiates on your behalf, inspects goods before they are paid for and ships them to South Sudan. It exists for a specific problem: buying at distance from a supplier you cannot visit, in a market where the recourse if something goes wrong is limited. ### The problem this solves Buying abroad without someone on the ground means trusting photographs, a price list and a stranger's word. The failure modes are well known: goods that do not match the sample, quantities short of the invoice, a supplier who stops answering after the deposit clears, or a price that was never competitive to begin with. We have offices in the markets you are buying from. Someone can visit the factory, look at the goods, and check what is being loaded before your money is committed. ### How it works You tell us what you need, in as much or as little detail as you have. We come back with options, prices and a recommendation. - You brief us on the product, the quantity, the quality level and your budget - We identify suppliers and request quotations against that brief - We compare on landed cost, not the quoted unit price — a cheaper factory further from the port is often not cheaper - We negotiate terms and payment structure - We inspect the goods before shipment and confirm they match what was agreed - We handle export documentation and freight to Juba - We clear customs and deliver ### What we source The three markets we work in have different strengths, and the right one depends on what you are buying. - **Türkiye** — construction materials, furniture, textiles, food products, medical supplies, machinery - **China** — electronics, industrial equipment, solar and power products, packaging, general merchandise at volume - **UAE** — re-export stock, branded goods, spare parts, and consolidation of purchases made across several suppliers ### What we do not do We are not a trading company marking up stock we already hold, and we do not take a hidden margin on the supplier's price. You see what the goods cost and what our service costs, separately. If a supplier offers us a commission, that comes off your invoice rather than into our pocket. We also will not source goods we cannot legally import into South Sudan, or handle a transaction where the paperwork would have to misrepresent the value or the contents. ### Frequently asked questions **Can you source a product if I only have a photograph?** Usually. A photograph, a rough specification and a target price are enough to start. The more detail you can give on quality level and quantity, the closer the first round of quotations will be. **Do you inspect goods before they ship?** Yes. Inspection before shipment is the point of the service — we have staff in Türkiye, China and the UAE who can visit the supplier and confirm the goods match what was agreed before the balance is paid. **How do you charge for sourcing?** Our service fee is quoted separately from the cost of the goods, so you can see both. We do not take a hidden margin on the supplier's price, and any commission a supplier offers us is credited against your invoice. **Which market should I buy from?** It depends on the product. Türkiye is strong on construction materials, furniture, textiles, food and medical supplies; China on electronics, industrial and solar equipment and volume merchandise; the UAE on re-export stock, branded goods and spare parts. We will tell you if you are asking the wrong market. **Can you handle the shipping as well as the buying?** Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way. Sourcing and freight are the same shipment to us, so the goods move from the supplier to your door without being handed between companies. **What if the goods arrive and they are wrong?** Inspection before payment is designed to prevent that. Where a dispute does arise, having a company with a presence in the supplier's market makes recourse possible in a way that a remote purchase does not. ## Medical travel to Türkiye URL: https://intaccessltd.com/services/medical-travel Intaccess arranges treatment abroad for patients travelling from South Sudan — hospital selection and appointments, the visa application, flights, accommodation and someone to meet you when you land. Our Istanbul office does the coordinating, which is the part that is hard to do from Juba. ### What is arranged Treatment abroad involves a hospital, an embassy, an airline, a place to stay and usually a language you do not speak. Each is manageable alone; together, at a distance, while unwell, they are not. - Reviewing your medical reports and matching them to appropriate hospitals - Obtaining treatment plans and cost estimates before you commit to travelling - Booking appointments and confirming them with the hospital - Supporting the medical visa application with the documentation embassies expect - Flights and airport transfers - Accommodation near the hospital, for the patient and for whoever travels with them - Interpretation during consultations - A point of contact in Istanbul for the duration of the stay ### How to start Send us the medical reports, scans and any diagnosis you already have. That is the only thing needed to begin — everything else follows from what the reports say. We pass them to hospitals and come back with treatment options and cost estimates. You decide before any money is spent on travel. If the treatment you need is available closer to home, or if travelling is not the right answer, we will say so. ### What this does not include We are a facilitation service, not a medical provider. We do not diagnose, we do not recommend a course of treatment, and we do not employ the doctors who will treat you. The clinical decisions are made by the hospital and by you. We also cannot guarantee a visa. Embassies decide, and they decide on the strength of the application and the applicant's circumstances. What we can do is make sure the application is complete and supported by the documentation an embassy expects to see. ### Frequently asked questions **How do I start the process?** Send us your medical reports, scans and diagnosis. We pass them to appropriate hospitals and come back with treatment options and cost estimates before you commit to anything. **Do you get a cost estimate before I travel?** Yes. The hospital provides a treatment plan and estimate based on your reports, and you decide before any money is spent on flights or visas. **Can you help with the medical visa?** We support the application and make sure it carries the documentation embassies expect, including the hospital's appointment confirmation. The decision itself rests with the embassy — no one can guarantee a visa. **Can a family member travel with the patient?** Yes, and it is usually advisable. Accommodation is arranged for companions as well as patients, and the visa application can cover both. **What if I do not speak Turkish or English well?** Interpretation during consultations is part of the service. Our Istanbul office works in English, Turkish and Arabic. **Do you choose the treatment?** No. We are a facilitation service, not a medical provider. Clinical decisions are made by the hospital and by you; we handle the logistics around them. ## Study abroad placement URL: https://intaccessltd.com/services/study-abroad Intaccess helps South Sudanese students apply to universities abroad — choosing courses, preparing and submitting applications, supporting the student visa, and arranging travel and accommodation before term starts. Our Istanbul office deals with the universities directly. ### What is arranged Applying to a foreign university means navigating admissions requirements, document attestation, deadlines and a visa process, mostly in a language and a bureaucracy you are meeting for the first time. - Matching your results and budget to courses and institutions that will realistically admit you - Preparing the application and the supporting documents - Getting transcripts and certificates translated and attested - Submitting applications and following them up with admissions offices - Supporting the student visa application once an offer is in hand - Flights, airport pickup and accommodation for the first term - A pre-departure briefing on what to expect and what to bring ### When to start Earlier than most families expect. Document attestation and visa appointments are the slow steps, and both sit outside anyone's control. Beginning several months before the intake you are aiming at is the difference between a considered application and a rushed one. If you are still deciding what to study, come to us anyway. Choosing the course is a conversation worth having before the application, not after. ### What we are honest about We do not guarantee admission and we do not guarantee visas. Universities and embassies make those decisions on their own criteria, and any agent who promises otherwise is either misinformed or dishonest. We will also tell you when an application is not realistic on your current results, and what would make it realistic — a foundation year, a different institution, a different country. That is more useful than an application fee spent on a rejection. ### Frequently asked questions **When should I start my application?** Several months before the intake you are aiming at. Document attestation and visa appointments are the slow steps and neither can be rushed, so starting early is what separates a considered application from a scramble. **Can you help if I have not chosen a course yet?** Yes, and it is a better time to come to us than after. Matching your results, interests and budget to courses that will realistically admit you is a conversation worth having before the application. **Do you handle document attestation and translation?** Yes. Transcripts and certificates usually need translating and attesting before a university will accept them, and this is one of the steps that most often causes delay. **Can you guarantee admission or a visa?** No, and nobody can. Universities and embassies decide on their own criteria. What we can do is make sure the application is complete, well supported and aimed at institutions that will realistically consider it. **What happens after I get an offer?** We support the student visa application, then arrange flights, airport pickup and accommodation for the first term, and brief you on what to expect before you travel. **What if my results are not strong enough?** We will tell you, and tell you what would change it — a foundation year, a different institution or a different country. That is more useful than spending an application fee on a rejection.
