Container cargo generally cannot accept the designated specific shipping company, and the shipping company only accepts the booking of FCL cargo, rather than directly accepting the booking of container cargo. Almost all containerized cargo is transported through the centralized consignment of freight forwarding companies. Due to the limited supply of goods, general freight forwarders can only concentrate on a few shipping companies, and seldom can meet the needs of designated shipping companies. Therefore, when trading LCL cargo, try not to accept the designated shipping company, so as not to fail to meet the requirements when handling consignment.

1. Operation process

Inquiry and quotation - receive order, arrange booking - give customer delivery notice - customer deliver to CFS warehouse, confirm weight - CFS container freight yard, arrange cargo packing - manifest, delivery offset report - cargo Import and export declarations. Inspection / Bill of Lading Confirmation - Waiting for departure after release - Fee confirmation, payment after departure Signing the bill of lading - Before and after the goods arrive at the port, prepare the corresponding bill of lading and corresponding manifest data - Container cargo is unloaded into the terminal yard and transferred to CFS containers Pick-up at the freight station - customs declaration documents according to the situation of the goods (the customs declaration documents are consistent with the manifest data)

2. Negotiate transactions with customers

Special attention should be paid to the relevant transportation terms, so as not to find that the other party's L/C cannot meet the transportation terms after it is issued. In daily operations, we often encounter L/C regulations, freight forwarders do not accept bills of lading from freight forwarders. Since the LCL shipping company does not directly accept the freight forwarder's booking, the shipping company's ocean bill of lading will be delivered to the freight forwarder, and the freight forwarder will issue HOUSEB/L to the shipper. If the L/C stipulates that the freight forwarder B/L is not accepted, there is no choice during the actual shipping process, which will lead to L/C inconsistency.

1. The billing ton of container cargo is to be accurate. Before delivery of containerized cargo, factories should measure the weight and dimensions of the cargo as accurately as possible. When the delivery is delivered to the designated warehouse of the freight forwarder, the warehouse will generally re-measure, and the re-measured size and weight will be the charging standard. If the factory changes the packaging, the factory should be required to notify in time. Don't wait until the goods are delivered to the freight forwarder's warehouse to give feedback through the freight forwarder. Time is often tight, and it is easy to delay customs declaration by changing customs declaration documents, or generate emergency customs declaration fees and port charges.

2. For some remote routes and ports, if the customer proposes to deliver the goods to inland locations, it is necessary to consult before signing the contract to confirm that the shipping company and freight forwarding company can undertake these remote ports. The contract is signed after delivery and related expenses at the inland location.

3. Local customs will focus on inspection of sensitive and trademark-protected goods. If there is a route for LCL, there is no charge at the port of departure, or even return shipping, and then all fees are charged at the port of destination, such as exchange fee, unpacking fee and various name fees. If it is a long-term customer, it is not recommended to return it. Even if you return the goods, you should inform the shipper of the details of the charges at the port of destination and let him choose by himself.
