What is the process of booking shipping space, customs declaration and export?

Freight forwarder export operation flow

The first guest will give you a delivery plan for this week, that is, fax it to you by waybill (note: sometimes guests will call you instead of sending this paper)

Note: The purpose of this article is to tell you which day, destination and box you should book him! The time of booking a ship can be determined according to different situations.

For example, the shipping company's freight rate advantage and delay.

After that, all you have to do is give this information to the shipping company .. (Don't disclose the names of passengers and guests, it's a driver's secret)

Afterwards, the shipping company gave you the number. At this time, what you need to do is to input this information into your company's system, without system handwriting.

Notice of receipt and delivery shall be sent to passengers. Note: The ship's name/voyage/bill of lading number/port interception time/destination/departure date should be listed in the receipt notice.

After that, contact people and guests, whether your freight forwarder arranges the car or they deliver it themselves.

If the freight forwarder sends a car, you should contact the customer when to go to the factory to load the goods, arrange the time for the team to pick up the box at the station, and send a notice to the team to send a car.

Note: The contents of the notice of dispatch of vehicles are shown as ship name/voyage/bill of lading number/destination/packing time (which can be arranged by yourself)/packing time/arrival time/return time (2 hours before port interception).

If the guest delivers the car himself, you should ask the guest to arrive at the station at least four hours (usually two hours ago) before the port is broken, but because he delivered the goods himself, he has already arrived.

The station needs to be loaded, so this time must be accurate! I would rather arrive early than be late. Some ships don't have time! Attention!

After that, the customer will send you a box of invoices. Write-off form will be declared.

Note: The box invoice contract is transmitted to the customs broker, and the verification form is taken by the operator of the customs broker. The verification table is very important and must be recorded correctly.

Then give the name/voyage/bill of lading number/destination/container number/tare weight/checklist number to the customs broker. If it is C & ampf, you have to write down the sea freight. If you do FOB/ LCL, you should not write CFS sea freight.

After that, I will wait for the approval of the customs .. (There will inevitably be opportunities for customs inspection, so please pray. This can't be stopped. )

After that, keep in touch with passengers and stations at any time. Know the location of the box in real time. Time must be grasped.

Then wait for the box (with goods) to return to the station. As long as there are no questions that need to be answered by others 2 hours before the port is disconnected.

Then look at the questions that need to be answered by others in the online box port collection. Sealing the box at the gate and collecting promissory notes at the port are basically completed.
