The process of export trade is very complex and variable. In order to avoid some emergency situations, it is necessary to learn some foreign trade knowledge in advance. Here are two common sense points.
1、 What should I pay attention to when receiving SO after booking?
1. Warehouse opening hours: After this, no separate container rent will be charged for collecting goods.
2. Container deadline: Return the container to the port before this.
3. Customs declaration deadline: The customs declaration deadline. If the customs declaration materials are not completed within the deadline, they should be declared as soon as possible.
4. Release period: If you transport the goods to the port before this, you can proceed with the scheduled container loading.
5. Deadline Material+VGM Time: At this point, the bill of lading invoice+VGM information is sent to the shipping company to issue the bill of lading and report the weight.
Attention:
You can combine the above time to obtain the best packaging time. Due to the fact that European and American routes must declare AMS or EMS, the cut-off time for draft bills of lading must be before the deadline, so packaging must be organized before the cut-off time for draft bills of lading..
2. VGM is the requirement of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to implement the International SOLAS Convention (SOLAS Convention) on verifying the weight of export containers from July 1, 2016. Weight VGM=Gross weight of the product+container weight.
3. The receiving information on the waybill in the current Customs declaration must be consistent with the receiving information on the bill of lading, and the registration number of the local receiving company must be provided. For data, we must request the customer to provide this information as soon as possible.
Even if the goods in the container are normal after customs inspection, they will still feel scared when encountering Shanghai customs inspection. Therefore, you are likely to lose a ship.
At these major ports in Shanghai, customs clearance requires at least two days of booking time. Due to the current human inspection procedure of submitting original customs declaration materials to customs, the General Administration of Customs issues inspection guidelines to the dock. Then there is a cabinet number on the customs list. Check the wardrobe, it is still completely closed. Only when the customs is inside, if there is a problem, can we call the Customs broker waiting outside. A few years ago, the Customs broker might be around him, but now everything is systematic and transparent.
So, what can we do?
1. Before preloading the container, do not take the risk of hastily sending and catching the sending date. You have enough time to check it.
2. Formal statement, sincere report, and no psychological concealment to avoid fear of verifying the cabinet.
3. Once the container inspection is carried out, immediately contact the freight forwarder to request an extension of the release time and attempt to postpone the release time to the last minute, so that the container inspection still has a chance to catch up with the water vessel.
