Full Container Load (FCL) Export Process
Firstly, confirm the freight rates and corresponding shipping schedules.
Ensure detailed price confirmation to avoid disputes after placing an order. Be clear about the deadline for shipping schedules to prevent missing the time for additional materials due to errors or other issues. In unclear situations, inquire with the shipper or clarify with the supplier whether it's a full container load or a loose cargo, if there's branding, volume, usage, etc.
2. Booking Space
When a customer decides to ship to Africa by sea, they should start booking the cargo space. Let the business assist the customer in filling out an order bill of lading, then book the space with the supplier based on the customer's information. Booking information includes: departure port, destination port, cargo name, weight, volume, which shipping company to book, which wharf to depart from, which ship's cutoff date, what type of container, method of payment, freight and additional charges, etc. The more detailed these pieces of information are, the better. The document issued is a Sales Order (SO), and the containers are usually loaded two days before the cutoff date.
3. Trailer
Pallet retrieval requires warehouse opening time after customs clearance, which is 7 days prior to the deadline. A Sales Order (SO) is required for container loading, and the SO number must be provided to the customer or the trucking company upon arrival. The customer needs to provide loading time, location, and contact person. After filling out the delivery order based on the provided information and providing it to the trucking company, the trucking company will issue the container number, seal number, driver's mobile phone number, and license plate number on the day of loading. This is collectively referred to as the driver's information. After receiving it, send it to the customer for ease of meeting the driver. Remind the driver to weigh the goods.
4. Customs Declaration
Before loading the container, remind the customer to provide a detailed packing list for confirmation by the customs broker. After the container is loaded, provide the customer with an accurate and detailed packing list, and remind them of the necessary documents to prepare, avoiding last-minute discussions with the customer when customs clearance is needed. If the customer is unsure how to handle the packing list, provide a form for them to fill out, which will facilitate our providing suggestions and feedback. If the customer's goods are diverse, remind them to select the important and abundant items. If the customer does not have the HS code, advise them to inquire abroad about which goods are easier to clear customs.
5. Raw Material Supply
The supplementary material time can be conducted simultaneously with customs declaration. After the container is loaded, the customer needs to fill out the supplementary material form, and we remind the customer to write in English and ensure that there are no errors in the filling, as corrections will incur additional fees. Some freight forwarders can provide the completed form for the customer to verify. Supplementary material forms include the Bill of Lading and the Shanghai Customs Code form, which can be self-investigated. Notes: The customs code is not displayed on the Bill of Lading. If the shipping costs are collect, and the user needs to use a letter of credit to pay, the name on the Bill of Lading must match the one on the letter of credit. The user may also inquire about whether to fill in certain information on the Bill of Lading. These can be consulted with the shipper or the previous party to see if they can be displayed on the Bill of Lading or in the product name section. The supplementary material must include a postal code, and after confirming with the customer that there are no issues, it can be submitted. An important point is to verify the confirmation copy of the Bill of Lading, ensuring all information is checked letter by letter to avoid losses. Also, send a copy for the customer to verify. Once both parties have verified, submit the confirmation copy. Remind the user to issue the original based on this.
6. Invoice Processing
Await the invoice, prepare the customer's invoice accordingly. Inquire whether the payment should be made personally or on behalf of the company. Be meticulous when preparing the invoice; ensure no miscalculations. We will only arrange payment to the supplier after the customer has made the payment. Mail the original invoice upon receipt and then prepare the profit and loss statement, thus finalizing the order.
Barge
If the goods are shipped from Guangzhou, there will be issues with barge transportation. The barge needs to be transported on an international transshipment vessel since with international transshipment, only one customs declaration is required. The customs brokerage firm also requires the use of an international transshipment vessel, so it's important to clarify the upstream transshipment vessel schedule. The container must be loaded within 4 days before the small vessel's departure. The upstream party assumes the small vessel's bill of lading, but we need to confirm whether the customer wants a small vessel or a large vessel bill of lading. The difference between the small vessel and large vessel bill of lading is the sailing time, port of discharge, and vessel name/voyage number (this is the short-range port of discharge location, as opposed to the transshipment location for large vessels). Documents required: When preparing the Certificate of Origin (CO), a copy of the bill of lading is not needed; the client only wants to see the sailing date.
8. Formal shipment, carrier's transportation
