Business Background
The customer is a machinery and equipment manufacturer in Nanjing. The export declaration documents are complete. It needs to do formal customs declaration and can complete the export tax rebate. The export port is Shanghai Yangshan Port, the destination country is Cape Town, South Africa, the trade method is CIF, and the transported goods are stacker and reclaimer and accessories, so the customer requires our company to complete a complete set of export logistics transportation from the factory to the destination port.
Business Process
The total gross weight of the goods entrusted to transport this time is 12 tons, and the weight of a single piece of equipment is 6 tons/10CBM. The main difficulties are in the packing of the equipment and the unloading at the destination port. For this reason, after detailed communication with the customer, the sales consultant of Shipping Whale International Logistics decided to visit the door to check the cargo information and specify the packing plan and subsequent transportation matters.
1. The customer consultant communicates with the customer to understand the situation of the goods
After communicating with the customer, the staff learned that the customer's equipment cannot be disassembled and belongs to high-precision equipment, which requires special fixing during transfer, and there is no large-scale hoisting equipment at the customer's factory.
2. Develop a transportation plan
For safety reasons, we arrange for the customer to load the 20GP heavy container. According to this transportation plan, our company provides two sets of transportation plans for the customer to cooperate with the customer to successfully clear the customs and board the ship within the specified time.
Option 1: The customer's documents are complete, and the goods are ready to be picked up at any time. Our company arranges the trailer to load the goods at the customer's factory according to the time and place agreed by both parties, and send them to the container station. After the goods arrive, our company will arrange related Customs declaration matters.
Option 2: The customer or our company will arrange large trucks to transport the goods to the designated container station, and our company will send designated personnel to the station for packing to ensure the safe and smooth packing of the goods.
Considering the factors such as the transportation time and the lack of large packing tools in the customer's factory, after negotiation with the customer, both parties finally confirmed the use of plan 2 and our company arranged professional vehicles for consignment.
3. Shipping and packing
In order to ensure the smooth boarding of the scheduled liner, after the transportation plan is determined, the staff will coordinate with the customer. First, Shipping Whale International Logistics will arrange vehicles to pick up the goods at the customer's place, followed by professionals to hoist and bundle the equipment.
Through the close cooperation between our staff and the customer, the goods to be transported were delivered safely this time, and the time delay caused by unfamiliar transportation routes was avoided through repeated communication with the driver, and the unloading workers were arranged in advance to wait at the scene. , and complete a series of work such as unloading, packing, registration, and photography.
4. Booking, customs declaration, transportation
In order to prevent the customs declaration data provided by the customer from being incorrect and delaying the effectiveness of the customs declaration, the relevant documents sent by the customer must be reviewed. During the transportation process, the customer representative will give timely feedback on the ship dynamics, so that the customer can understand the ship information and the estimated time of arrival. It is inseparable from the sense of responsibility and work experience.

Documents provided include: packing list, invoice, contract, power of attorney for inspection, factory inspection list, carton packing list and other documents;
2. When the goods are exported, the shipping company will send the export manifest data to the customs, and the customs broker will print the tax refund verification and write-off page in time after the customs data is cleared;
