Logistics Export Processing
There are two options we use for Exports (Airfreight), and below is what I require to get freight costs.
Option 1, Export to FD Customers, you need to provide the following:
1. Packaged weights and dims (not of physical units)
2. Company Name/Contact Name/Contact Telephone number
3. Provide detailed instructions like:
a) Are there any pre-inspection requirements? (Example SGS Inspection), This entails inspection to verify Quality/import Eligibility/Tariff classification/Export market price and/or valuation for customs purposes, this allows the correct assessment of customs/duties and taxes or shipment value for foreign exchange control) this inspection is done at the freight forwarder’s premises.
b) Is there BV Certification requirements (For example, this inspection covers the product/components to be certified according to International and National regulation), The salesperson needs to fill in the form, there are certain documents requested which can be seen on the BV form, the Brand Manager will have to provide this information to the salesperson, once received the sales person will email the completed BV Form/the invoices and the necessary documents like ISO 9001 Certificate/Test reports/HS codes ECT.
4. Freight and Certifications and pre-inspection should be billed to the customer, FD does not carry this cost
5. Very important to take note of and advise customers, all shipments are CPT,(Carriage Paid To, or DDU (Delivery/duties unpaid) this is to the destination airport only, customer is responsible for all destination charges.
6. If customer has an agent please provide these details, this will make the clearing process quicker for the customer.
