About Lasedel Consultancy International

Three decades of
trade practice —

keeps growing.

Our Story

Built on practice.
Grown by trust.

More than three decades of hands-on customs, trade and logistics work — quietly shaping how business gets done in Guyana.

Est. Early 1990s · Georgetown

Lasedel Consultancy International was founded on a simple conviction — that Guyana's trade environment deserves practitioners who combine deep technical knowledge with practical, everyday judgement. For more than thirty years, that conviction has guided every engagement, every classroom hour, and every published reference.

Today Lasedel operates as both a working consultancy and a professional training institution. On the consultancy side, we advise companies, government agencies and multinational corporations across customs brokerage, trade compliance, logistics, shipping and ASYCUDA World operations. On the academy side, we prepare the next generation of practitioners through certificate programmes, corporate workshops and reference publications written by those doing the work.

"We measure ourselves by the outcomes our clients achieve and the careers our graduates go on to build — not by the size of the practice."

As Guyana's oil & gas, construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, retail and transportation sectors expand into international markets, the demand for accurate customs work, credible trade compliance and capable industry professionals has never been higher. Lasedel exists to meet that demand — with integrity, expertise and results that hold up in practice.

Our commitment is to bridge legislation and everyday professional practice — to make what is often written in complex regulation clear, actionable and executable for the businesses and people who make Guyana's trade economy work.

The Seven Values

How we work.
How we teach.

Seven principles that define how Lasedel engages with clients, prepares professionals, and represents Guyana's trade sector across the region.

i.
Integrity
We act with honesty, transparency and unwavering ethical principles — in every filing, every classroom, and every client interaction.
ii.
Professionalism
Licensed, credentialed and continuously trained — the standard our clients rely on and our students inherit.
iii.
Excellence
Quality, accuracy and lasting value in the work we deliver and the professionals we develop.
iv.
Innovation
Embracing new ideas, tools and technology to solve real trade problems — from ASYCUDA modernisation to ESW rollout.
v.
Accountability
We take ownership of every declaration, every filing, every commitment we make to a client or a student.
vi.
Client Satisfaction
Your success is our purpose. We measure our value in outcomes, not in hours worked.
vii.
Continuous Learning
Trade evolves — tariffs shift, agreements change, technology moves. We refine the practice every year to stay ahead of it, and we teach our students to do the same.

Training Consultancy · 4 Weeks · 4 Modules

Electronic Single Window for Trade Use

Lasedel was engaged to design and deliver the Trade Navigation Processes Training Program — a four-week, four-module capacity-building programme built around Guyana's Electronic Single Window rollout and modern trade facilitation practice.

Participants included public-sector personnel responsible for trade facilitation policy and Electronic Single Window operations, together with private-sector stakeholders working in customs brokerage and logistics. The programme combined practical skills, engaging instruction and applied learning — anchored in real trade scenarios rather than abstract theory.
