Maersk Customs Services (MCS) – ACTS

Keep moving. Keep delivering.

Congestions are a part of the logistics journey. Every shipper has at some stage of the transit, faced delays due to congestion at a port. And this is specifically true for ASEAN countries. Transit lines from the Port of Tanjung Pelepas are severely congested, resulting in order cancellations and a delay in delivery. This issue also impacts inventory management and adaptability to demand supply metrics.

Maersk Customs Services in collaboration with ASEAN Customs Transit System (ACTS) Helps you find alternate solutions to move your cargo across land borders in ASEAN countries.

It offers an administratively simple and cost advantageous procedure to carry goods across Customs territories in line with international standards and best practises.
