Full Container Load Export Process
Firstly, confirm the freight rates and corresponding shipping schedules.
Be sure to confirm prices in detail to avoid disputes after placing an order. The deadline for shipment must be clear to prevent missing the time to replenish goods due to errors or other issues. In case of uncertainty, ask the shipper or clarify with the supplier whether it's a full container or loose cargo, if there's branding, dimensions, usage, etc.
2. Booking a shipping space
When a customer decides to ship goods to Africa by sea, they should start booking a container. Have the business assist the customer in filling out an order bill of lading, then book a container with the supplier based on the customer's information. Booking details: port of departure, port of destination, name of goods, weight, volume, which shipping company, which wharf for departure, the deadline for the ship's departure, what type of container, method of payment for freight, freight charges, and additional fees, etc. The more detailed these pieces of information are, the better. The document issued is a Sales Order (SO), and the container loading usually occurs two days before the deadline for the ship's departure.
3. Trailer
Pallet collection requires warehouse opening time after which the collection can be made, with the warehouse opening time being 7 days prior to the deadline. A Sales Order (SO) is required to load the container, 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 shipping 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. These are collectively referred to as driver information. Upon receiving this information, it should be forwarded to the customer for ease of meeting the driver. It is important to remind the driver to weigh the cargo.
4. Customs Declaration
Prior to 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, to avoid informing them at the last minute during customs clearance. If the customer is unsure how to handle the packing list, offer a form for them to fill out, which will facilitate our provision of suggestions and feedback. If the customer's goods are diverse, remind them to select the important and abundant items. If the customer doesn't have the HS Code, advise them to inquire abroad about which items are easier to clear customs.
5. Raw Material Supply
The material replenishment can be conducted simultaneously with customs declaration. After the container is loaded, the client needs to fill out the material replenishment form. Remind the client to write in English and emphasize that every detail must be accurate; any errors require a correction fee. Some freight forwarders can provide the filled-out form for the client to verify. Material replenishment form: The bill of lading also requires the Shanghai Customs Code form, which can be self-verified. Note that the customs code does not appear on the bill of lading. If the shipping charges are collect, and the user needs to use a letter of credit to pay, the name on the bill of lading must match the name on the credit. The client may inquire about whether certain information should be included on the bill of lading. These details can be consulted with the shipper or the supplier to see if they can be displayed on the bill of lading or in the product name section. The material replenishment form must include a postal code. Once confirmed with the client, submit the form. An important point is to verify the bill of lading confirmation; all information must be checked letter by letter to avoid losses. Also, send a copy to the client for verification. Once both parties have verified, submit the confirmation. Remind the user to issue the original document accordingly.
6. Invoicing
Await invoice issuance, prepare the customer's invoice, and inquire whether they will pay via personal or corporate account. Be meticulous when preparing the invoice; ensure no miscalculations. We will only arrange payment to the supplier after the customer has made their payment. Mail the original invoice upon receipt, and then you can prepare the profit and loss statement. This concludes the transaction.
Barge
If the goods are shipped from Guangzhou, there will be issues with barge shipping. The barge needs to be transported on an international transshipment vessel, as only one customs declaration is required for international transshipment. 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 cargo must be loaded into the container 4 days before the small vessel departs. The upstream party assumes the small vessel 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 departure, and vessel name and voyage (this is the short-range port of departure location, versus the location for the larger vessel). Documents required: When issuing the Certificate of Origin (CO), a copy of the bill of lading is not needed; the customer only wants to see the sailing date.
8. Official vessel departure, shipping company transportation
