How these pages get written, checked and corrected

Shipping advice online is full of confident figures nobody re-checked after 2019. This page says what we do instead, so you can hold us to it.

In short

Every regulatory claim on this site is checked against the authority that sets it — Bea Cukai, Kementerian Perdagangan, Kementerian Perhubungan, IATA, IMO — rather than against another shipping website. Where something cannot be confirmed, the page says so instead of filling the gap.

  • Sources are the regulator or the carrier, never a competitor
  • Core content reviewed quarterly; material rule changes within 48 hours
  • Unverified claims are cut, not softened and left in

Workflow

What happens before a page goes live

Four steps. The third is the one most sites skip.

  1. 01

    Drafted

    Written by the editorial desk and reviewed by our own logistics staff and certified PPJK brokers, with the source for each factual claim noted as it goes in.

  2. 02

    Sourced

    Duty rates, VAT, documentation requirements and the Lartas list are checked against official circulars. Cost and transit figures come from aggregated market data tempered by our own quoting for UK, Australian and US origins.

  3. 03

    Cut

    Anything that cannot be confirmed comes out. It is not rewritten more vaguely and left in. Regulatory detail is cross-checked by the compliance desk before publication.

  4. 04

    Dated

    Core content is reviewed every quarter for changes to duty, port procedure or carrier policy. A material regulatory change — a new import tax, a change to the restricted list — is reflected within 48 hours of official confirmation.

Freight rates and surcharges are the fastest-moving numbers on this site. Where a figure is a range rather than a quotation, it is written as a range on purpose.

Corrections and conflict of interest

Short, because it should be.

  • Tell us

    If you find something wrong, send it. You do not need to be a client.

  • We fix it

    The page is corrected and the correction is recorded rather than silently overwritten.

  • We sell freight

    We are a service provider, not a neutral review site. Recommendations on packing, insurance and mode reflect what we think is right for the shipment, and our commercial relationships are listed on the partners page.

Found something wrong?

Send it over. Corrections are the cheapest way to keep a site like this honest.
