7 Things to remember when Shipping Internationally

TEL : +971 25556399            Email : sales@apexglc.com       web : www.apexglc.com

Shipping goods internationally can be a great opportunity to expand your company’s reach. However, it can also seem like a daunting task. To help you out in your shipping endeavors, we have put together a list of 7 things you absolutely need to think about when shipping internationally.

Customs Regulations

When shipping products from one country to another, you will be dealing with customs departments. Absolutely all products will need to clear customs in order to determine the product is allowed in the country, as well as if all fees and charges have been correctly paid. Typically, you will need to properly fill out 2 customs forms – one from your country and one from the country to which you are shipping your product.

Fees & Tariffs

The Customs Department also charges a fee on product shipped internationally. The fee is dependent on the value of your products, as well as the country that they are being shipped to. Make sure you know these customs fee rates.
You should also consider the tariff rates for the shipping companies. There will be a cost, not only to ship the products, but also for any freight taxes that may be applicable. Browse the different shipping companies to find out what they will charge for this fee.

Restricted Items

Each country has a different list of restricted items. Check to make sure both the countries you are sending to and from do not have your product on their restricted products list. If you end up trying to ship an item that is restricted, the customs personnel may restrict it indefinitely.

Packaging

Each country requires that products are packaged according to their rules and each country has different regulations on packaging. Know what these rules are and carefully pack and label your goods. If you aren’t sure how to do this, consider a shipping company that also takes care of packaging.

Transit Time

As you may already suspect, international shipping will take longer than domestic shipping. There are more chances for delayed shipping, so it’s important to plan your shipment carefully. Keep in mind all the possibilities for delays, as well as the fact that not all countries offer overnight shipping.

Insurance

Though you may be temped to save a dollar or two, insurance is very important for international shipping. Damage risk is high. Consider, would you be able to replace items if they are damaged in the shipping process?

Mode of Transportation

If you are shipping overseas and aren’t sure whether your want to use air or sea transport, consider these three things: time, cost and product. Air transportation is much faster than sea, but it is also much more expensive. Conversely, sea transportation is a cheaper option, but takes much longer. Also, if you have a product that is fragile or will not endure long trips in containers, then shipping by sea is not an appropriate choice.
When it comes to international shipping, there are lots of rules, regulations and aspects that need to be addressed. Do your homework before sending a product overseas to ensure your product effectively arrives to its final destination.

5 Tips for Cargo and Container Shipping : -


Being in the international shipping industry can be overwhelming. There are so many rules and policies to follow both local and international. There are things that you need to be attentive to like choosing the right freight forwarders and carriers; knowing whether goods are better sent via sea freight or air freight; trends in the international shipping scene like mergers and alliances of big and small carriers.
So it’s your first time to import or export and you do not have any idea on how to do it right.  You might have been on it already yet you are not certain whether you’re on the right track.
No worries, we got you covered. As a leading transport back office solutions partner, we at back office offshoring solutions wants to make sure that you succeed in your exports and import transactions. There are many international shippers like you whom we have helped in the past and until now because that is our commitment.

Tip #1. Ask for the Loading Time

Always ask your freight forwarder how much time do you have to load your container. Some freight forwarders are charging additional overtime charges when loading takes longer than expected. Usually, when the driver arrives, the first two (2) hours are already included in your fee, that is why it is recommended that you are prepared to load your cargo in less than two (2) hours.

Tip #2. Expect the Extremes

Make sure that the contents of the container can survive the extremities. In international shipping, containers go through extreme weather changes, they are subjected to heat and cold conditions when they pass through ports and canals. To avoid waste of goods due to damage, it is important to invest in containers that can keep your goods in good condition while in storage or transport.

Tip #3. Declare the Organic

Vegetables, fruits, plants and any other organic product should be declared carefully. These items are treated differently depending on the place of origin and destination. This is also to make the carriers aware about the products’ possibility to perish while in transit. Also, it is important to note that any undeclared organic cargo caught by customs will be quarantined and be held for fees.

Tip #4. Ensure Your Cargo

Be ready for attrition. Remember that not all the times, all of the items make it to its destination. There will always be a situation where goods can go missing while being transported. That’s why it’s important that you ensure your cargo.

Tip #5. Understand the Freight Forwarding Game

Your cargo will encounter many stops, from trucking to crane operations and onto the ship, that’s just loading the cargo, the same thing happens when offloading it. It can be a bumpy ride for your cargo, that’s why other organisations seek the help of offshore freight operators to ensure the safety of the cargo as well as to make the export or import process as seamless as possible.
Shipping your goods internationally the first time can be tricky but you don’t have to worry. As long as you follow these simple tips, you’ll surely be able to ship your cargo to its destination.
