Export License & Permits

At Global Logistics Shipping Services Group, our Export License and Permit service is designed to support clients seeking full legal authorization to export commodities—particularly gold and diamonds—from Sierra Leone. Navigating government procedures, regulatory requirements, and administrative processes can be complex and time-consuming. Our role is to simplify this process while ensuring full compliance with national laws and international trade standards.

Regulatory Support & Government Coordination

We work closely with all relevant government agencies and regulatory authorities in Sierra Leone to assist our clients in obtaining their export licenses, permits, and mining licenses. Through structured coordination and regulatory insight, we help clients navigate official procedures efficiently and correctly, reducing delays and minimizing compliance risk.

Our approach ensures that licenses and permits are obtained transparently and in accordance with legal requirements.

Take Control of Your Export Process

Owning your own export license provides significant operational and financial advantages. Clients with their own licenses retain full control over the export process, including shipment execution, documentation, and regulatory engagement. This reduces reliance on third parties and minimizes exposure to unnecessary transactional risk.

By securing your own export authorization, you maintain autonomy, transparency, and accountability throughout your export operations.

Cost Efficiency & Long-Term Value

Clients who operate under their own export licenses benefit from reduced transactional costs. There is no requirement to pay percentage-based fees to third-party license holders, allowing for improved cost management and higher long-term returns. Ownership of an export license provides a scalable foundation for sustained trade operations.

Faster Execution Through Expert Support

Our team handles the leg work on behalf of clients—managing submissions, follow-ups, and coordination with authorities to accelerate the licensing process. With experience in regulatory procedures and documentation requirements, we make the process faster, smoother, and more predictable.

This allows clients to focus on commercial and operational priorities while we manage administrative execution.

Compliance & Verification Oversight

Licensing processes require thorough verification to meet regulatory standards. We assist clients in meeting all compliance obligations, including identity verification, business validation, and statutory requirements. Our structured approach ensures that all applications are complete, accurate, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

Checklist & Key Requirements

While requirements may vary depending on license type, the process generally includes the following:

  • Resident Permit

  • Work Permit

  • Company Registration

  • License and Application Fee Payments

  • Police Clearance

  • Verification of Business Address

  • Tax Identification Number (TIN) and Income Tax Payment

Our team provides guidance and support throughout each step, ensuring that requirements are met efficiently and correctly.
