High-value cargo demands a different level of attention, not just in how it’s handled physically, but in how it’s managed from the moment it arrives at the cargo terminal to the moment it’s loaded onto the aircraft. Cash, jewellery, precious metals, fine art, luxury goods, high-end electronics, gemstones, these are the kinds of consignments where a lapse in security or a moment of carelessness can have consequences that go far beyond a damaged box.
At Satya Agencies, valuables are handled under strict access controls. Not everyone on our team handles valuable cargo, it’s managed by designated personnel who understand the responsibility that comes with it. From acceptance through to loading, we maintain a clear chain of custody and documentation at every stage.
We work closely with Lufthansa Cargo’s valuables handling procedures, which set specific requirements for how high-value consignments are accepted, stored, and transferred. As their certified ground agent at Entebbe, we apply those procedures consistently, whether we’re handling a small parcel of gemstones or a large consignment of banknotes.
One thing we always tell shippers of valuable cargo, the declared value on your airway bill matters. It determines the level of liability coverage on your shipment and affects how it’s handled in transit. We’ll walk you through this when you bring your consignment in, and we’ll make sure everything is declared and documented correctly before it leaves our hands.
If you’re moving high-value goods through Entebbe and you want to know exactly how they’ll be handled, come and talk to us. We’d rather you understand the process upfront than have questions after the fact.
