After the booking is successful, notify the shipper to prepare the customs declaration materials, including commercial invoices, packing lists, customs declaration forms, contracts, etc., and entrust a customs broker to handle the customs declaration. After the goods enter the warehouse, the warehouse will conduct operations such as counting, sorting, and reinforcing the goods. Before loading the ship or the aircraft, the freight forwarder should confirm the bill of lading information to ensure its accuracy. After the goods leave the port, promptly deliver the bill of lading and other transport documents to the client and track the status of the goods until they are successfully delivered. During the process, special attention should be paid to differences in policies and regulations of different countries and the accuracy of the customs declaration materials.
At the same time, when selecting the mode of transportation, factors such as cost and timeliness should be considered comprehensively.
