Algiers port, the country’s largest, hosts TIBA’s headquarter, from which our freight forwarding and customs clearances operations are managed through a team of 30 highly qualified employees.
The port of Algiers is suffering high congestion, to the point where the Port Authority declared in 2010 all car imports banned. Container service is assured mainly through feeder services from Valencia, Barcelona, Marseille and other Mediterranean ports.
Customs clearance in the port of Algiers is one of TIBA’s strengths. We count on 12 customs brokers filing customs declarations, doing HS Code classification and presenting all documentation to the customs inspector. While average time from container arrival to container out of the terminal can be as long as 35 days, we normally clear the containers in under 8 days.
TIBA Algiers offers FCL and LCL service, not only through TIBA’s represented carriers (currently Evergreen and Turkon) but also through other options depending on importer’s need.
We also offer LCL consolidation service from all worldwide ports through Barcelona, assuring optimal transit time and deconsolidation service.
