Ask Your QuestionIt's a plain-English dictionary of the logistics, precious-cargo and customs terms BVC uses every day — from airway bills and bills of entry to FTWZ, hallmarking and chain of custody — so anyone can understand how secure shipping works.
Jewellers, bullion dealers, brands, exporters, collectors and their teams — anyone who ships or receives high-value goods and wants a clear explanation of the terms that appear on documents, quotes and contracts.
No. Our team handles the documentation, customs and security for you. The glossary is here so you always understand what's happening with your shipment — you never have to manage the jargon yourself.
In simple, everyday language with a short real-world example, not legal definitions. Where a term has an official meaning (like the Kimberley Process or BIS hallmarking), we keep it accurate while still keeping it easy to read.
Yes. Reach out through our contact form or our 24×7 line on 1800-123-2711 and a BVC specialist will explain any term or document you're unsure about.
Share the source store, the destination store, the pickup window and the authorised receivers. BVC will handle the armoured vehicle, the armed specialists, the route, the updates and the handover — on time, on process.
