MEBS provides long-term and short-term cargo storage in secure, temperature-controlled warehouses in the United States and throughout the Middle East and Africa. MEBS storage warehouses are electronically controlled, activity is recorded via video surveillance 24/7 and visitors are accompanied by an MEBS escort at all times. MEBS USA warehouses are TSA approved and subject to both random and scheduled inspection by TSA. All MEBS overseas warehouse facilities are under the direct supervision of MEBS US personnel and US standards and inventory control procedures are mandated at MEBS warehouse operations worldwide.

With locations in 12 countries and operations across the globe, MEBS offers clients a unique advantage in last mile shipping and logistics. No matter how remote or austere a destination, the strong network of MEBS offices and US government-approved agents enables us to deliver to towns, villages and camps not serviced by traditional freight forwarders. Our in-country offices and agents manage everything from customs clearance through to final receipt of goods, allowing us to provide more responsive and personalized service than most forwarders can offer.

MEBS – Specialists in Duty- and VAT-Free Customs Clearance

With deep expertise in handling donated humanitarian aid cargo, MEBS is highly experienced in managing duty and VAT exemption processes worldwide. Our team proactively oversees documentation and timelines to ensure smooth, compliant, and efficient duty and VAT exempt customs clearances.

Proactive Planning for Seamless Clearance

Every shipment begins with a thorough review of the duty and VAT exemption requirements for the destination country. MEBS’s in-depth understanding of local regulations, paired with the awareness that these rules can change without notice, ensures accurate and timely compliance.

We mitigate delays by confirming exemption requirements early and working closely with consignees, government ministries, and destination agents. No shipment proceeds without formal approval from our in-country team, ensuring the cargo is fully prepared for clearance and delivery upon arrival.

Trusted by Humanitarian Aid Partners

Duty- and VAT-free clearance is the core of our service. MEBS is highly experienced in delivering tax-exempt humanitarian shipments to complex destinations where flexibility, precision, and local expertise are essential for success.

Expertise in Dynamic, Country-Specific Processes

Exemption approval timelines vary widely, ranging from 1–2 days to several weeks. MEBS prioritizes early exemption planning to avoid bottlenecks. Shipping tax-exempt cargo requires specialized knowledge of each country’s customs landscape, which MEBS and our global network of offices and agents possess.

We engage in detailed pre-shipment planning to meet all documentation and regulatory requirements. Because infrastructure limitations and bureaucratic processes at destination can shift unexpectedly, MEBS always reconfirms exemption procedures before each shipment, even to familiar locations.

MEBS delivers expert logistics support for humanitarian and emergency response missions around the globe. We work with government agencies and international organizations to ensure critical aid—such as medical supplies, food, water, and shelter materials—reaches affected areas quickly and reliably.

Our global infrastructure, strict compliance standards, and 24/7 operational coordination allow us to navigate complex customs procedures, access remote locations, and operate in high-risk environments with speed and precision.
