What to Expect When Exporting Freight

Exporting Breakbulk/Heavy Lift Ocean Shipments

• The first step we take is assess the cargo and devisng a plan. This puts the shipment into perspective. Physical dimensions, weight and volume are all used to determine requirements such as permits, crane use and loading plans.  
• Then preparing the shipment by professionally packing and loading onto trucks with heavy lift equipment for trucking to the port. 
• This is the point where Customs export documentation being in order would be advantageous to avoid delays. A commercial invoice and packing list is a great start. Every country has different documentation and procedure processes and it is important that these are done correctly. A forwarder can streamline this for you and walk you through the process.
• Once your cargo is delivered to the port the stevedores will load your shipment and secure for ocean transport by utilizing different methods such as Lashing with chains or cables and Dunnage (filling negative space) . 

Exporting Air Shipments

• Securing a booking is the first step I take. Without that, you’re just spinning your wheels. This can be obtained directly from the carrier but I recommend using a freight forwarder for your benefit.
• The first stop for your shipment going by air is the screening location. All cargo must be screened prior to being delivered to the airport.
• Once it is transferred to the airline we prepare the documents and file your export with customs.
• You will receive a copy of all documents such as the air waybill (AWB) and a certificate of origin if required. You can track your cargo by the AWB number. We will provide you with a link for tracking. 
• Every country has different requirements so it is important to hire a forwarder to make sure everything is done correctly.
