Cross-border procurement
Import, Export, Duties & Logistics
Bring origin, documentation, applicable trade arrangements, duties, freight and landed cost into the buying decision before commitment.
Import / ExportEUR.1SADCDutiesFreightLanded cost
Commercially considered
A procurement conversation, not a catalogue dump.
Specification, operating model, origin, freight, duties, payment terms, delivery, warranty, continuity, supplier risk and total cost matter alongside unit price.
Brief
Understand
Property, operating model, standard, timing, budget context, quantities and destination.
Specify
Define
Translate the requirement into fit-for-purpose technical and commercial criteria.
Source & compare
Evaluate
Assess local and international options, terms, risk, TCO and delivery implications.
Coordinate
Execute
Support documentation, approvals, logistics, supplier follow-through and delivery planning.
Import, export & project logistics
Understand the landed reality before you buy.
HES compares the full route to the property: product, freight, duty, import VAT, origin, clearing, inland delivery, FX, lead time, compliance, warranty and replacement risk.
Landed import cost
Compare local and imported options on the cost that reaches the property, not the supplier price alone.
EUR.1 understood
Where the SADC-EU EPA applies, EUR.1 is proof of preferential origin, not a general product-quality certificate.
SADC opportunity
Qualifying regional origin can create tariff advantages, subject to product-specific rules and the correct certificate of origin.
Hospitality logistics
Opening dates, consolidation, receiving, spares, warranty and operating continuity are built into the sourcing decision.
HES ecosystem
Specialist capability when the requirement needs more depth.
The core HES procurement proposition stays simple, while specialist platforms support sourcing, procurement workflow and community-impact initiatives where relevant.
