Tanzania
Message

At BARUTI INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, I supervised clearing and forwarding office operations and coordinated documentation staff, transporters, and clients. I monitored cargo clearance through TANCIS, from document verification and customs declaration to release and delivery dispatch.

I coordinated cargo releases at Dar es Salaam Port, Tanga Port, and Mtwara Port, as well as air cargo clearances at Julius Nyerere International Airport. I also managed client relationships and followed up on transporter arrangements and cross-border transit shipments.

Earlier at BARUTI INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, I prepared and verified shipping documents and supported customs submissions through TANCIS and the Tanzania Electronic Single Window. My experience also includes finance, sales, administration, and operational supervision.
