The company received her approval as an Individual Member for 2019 after fulfilling every necessary dues as required by the Apex freight forwarding institution.

The acronym FIATA is derived from its french meaning ‘Fédération Internationale des Associations de Transitaires et Assimilés’. It saddles the responsibility of boosting the reputation of Individual Members.

We all know that the industry of Freight Forwarders is porously filled with unregistered ‘agents’,  so-called, whose activities have put a lot of importers in high risks of failed businesses.

So, in order to distinguish ourselves and portray indelible values, we pride in matching international standards of freight forwarding. This has over the years, aided us in building trust and reliability with customers and prospects.

BowaGate Global deemed it important to eschew illegal practices and tow the path of corporate image boosting. First, as a licensed Customs Agent, and next, opting for international membership with regulatory bodies that matters to Freight Forwarding worldwide.

Benefit of Obtaining FIATA Membership means the following

Obtaining FIATA Membership Certificate is Strong Indication of Recognition

As a freight forwarder in Nigeria, holding a FIATA Membership certificate simply means that your applications are endorsed by the Association Members in their specific countries or territories, hence the admission. 

To own a certificate is a ‘strong indication that the company operates according to the applicable legal requirements and is naturally inclined to maintain a compliant behaviour’. 

This helps compose the business reputation of BowaGate Global and shows we have a recognized value in public.

So our customers can use this as a decisive element to choose between a certain number of competitors in contracts and/or procurement allocations.
