Standard Pre-Shipment & Export Operation Process
The complete sea freight export process is divided into pre-shipment preparation, cabin booking, cargo consolidation, customs declaration and port shipment, forming a closed-loop export logistics system. In the early pre-shipment stage, shippers need to complete commodity production, standardized packaging, cargo sorting and quality inspection, and sort out full sets of trade documents including commercial contracts, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and product qualification certificates. All cargo information such as product name, HS code, net weight, gross weight, volume and cargo attributes needs to be accurately confirmed to avoid declaration errors and customs risks in the later stage. After confirming the shipment plan, our professional operation team will combine cargo volume, delivery timeline and destination port conditions to select optimal shipping lines and routes, submit official booking applications, lock valid container space, and obtain formal booking confirmation and voyage information, effectively avoiding peak-season space tension and blank sailing risks.
After cabin confirmation, we will arrange professional inland trucking services to complete factory pickup and container loading. For FCL shipments, we provide empty container pickup, on-site loading, cargo reinforcement and sealing services; for LCL consolidated shipments, we deliver goods to professional port warehouses for centralized sorting, consolidation and unified loading. After cargo warehousing, our customs declaration team will conduct pre-declaration document review, check for inconsistent documents, missing information and non-standard declaration details, and fill in customs declaration data in strict accordance with national customs policies. After the completion of electronic declaration and customs inspection and release, the terminal will arrange container loading according to the vessel schedule. After the ship departs, we will track the ocean transit status in real time, sort out bill of lading documents, and deliver complete shipping documents to customers to complete the whole export process.
Systematic Sea Freight Import Operation & Clearance Process
The shipping import process starts from overseas cargo shipment and ends with domestic cargo pickup and door-to-door delivery, including overseas shipment confirmation, voyage tracking, arrival pre-alert, port arrival processing, import customs clearance, tax payment, cargo inspection and terminal delivery. After overseas suppliers complete container loading and shipment, our team will synchronize vessel and cargo information in real time, continuously track the ocean transit status, and remind domestic importers to prepare import declaration documents and qualification certificates in advance according to commodity attributes, effectively shortening the port dwell time after cargo arrival. Before the vessel arrives at the domestic port, we complete pre-declaration filing and data verification to eliminate abnormal declaration problems in advance and lay a foundation for fast clearance after cargo arrival.
After the cargo arrives at the destination port, we will handle port unloading, container tallying and warehousing procedures first, and then carry out formal import customs declaration operations. Different from export declaration, import shipping procedures involve tariff classification, duty calculation, tax payment verification and commodity inspection quarantine procedures. Our professional import team accurately classifies commodity HS codes, reasonably verifies cargo value in line with customs regulations, and completes tax declaration and payment. For goods requiring mandatory inspection, we actively cooperate with customs and commodity inspection departments to complete sampling inspection and quarantine filing. After customs release, we handle container pickup, empty container return and cargo sorting, and arrange inland trucking distribution to deliver complete and intact goods to the customer's designated warehouse or factory, realizing one-stop closed-loop import logistics service.
Core Standard & Risk Control of Full Import & Export Shipping Process
The standardized operation standard is the core guarantee for the smooth progress of shipping import and export processes. In the whole sea freight operation link, all document production, cargo packaging, loading and reinforcement, declaration data filling and port operation must comply with international maritime conventions and domestic and foreign customs regulatory standards. Standardized operation can effectively reduce the error rate of manual operation, avoid cargo damage, cargo shortage, document discrepancy and declaration failure, and ensure that each shipment is compliant, safe and efficient. In addition, we formulate targeted operational standards for special goods such as hazardous goods, frozen goods, oversized equipment and sensitive goods, implement differentiated loading, packaging and declaration schemes, and strictly abide by international maritime transportation safety regulations to eliminate potential safety hazards in transit.
Mature whole-process risk control capability is an indispensable part of shipping import and export services. In the export link, we focus on preventing risks such as delayed cabin booking, document errors, VGM data deviation, customs inspection and vessel missing; in the import link, we effectively avoid risks including inaccurate tariff classification, unqualified documents, customs detention and high demurrage and detention charges. Our team conducts real-time monitoring of port operation status, shipping schedule changes and policy updates, pre-judges market changes and port risks, and formulates emergency alternative schemes in advance. When facing unexpected situations such as port congestion, vessel delay and policy adjustment, we can quickly adjust shipment plans to minimize customer losses and ensure the stability and controllability of the whole import and export shipping process.
