The export of international logistics agents generally goes through the following processes. First is cargo solicitation, communicating with customers to understand the information of the goods such as category, weight, volume, destination, etc. Then comes booking shipping space, reserving shipping space from shipping companies, airlines, etc. according to the situation of the goods. After that, arrange for the goods to enter the warehouse, notify the customers to send the goods to the designated warehouse, or pick up the goods on site.
After the goods enter the warehouse, customs declaration needs to be carried out. Prepare materials such as commercial invoices, packing lists, customs power of attorney, etc. to declare to the customs. After inspection and release, the goods can be loaded onto ships or planes for transportation. During the transportation process, the status of the goods needs to be tracked and fed back to the customers in a timely manner. After the goods arrive at the destination port, assist the customers with customs clearance and picking up the goods to complete the entire export process. There may be detailed differences for different goods, transportation methods and destinations, and need to be dealt with flexibly in actual operation.
