How OCEAN FREIGHT works:

The shipping company will collect the goods from the supplier/customer. The shipment is moved to the port, and passes through customs at the point of origin. Goods are loaded into their own container (FCL), or a shared container (LCL), and then put onto a cargo ship for their journey

THE 7 STEP PROCESS OF OCEAN FREIGHT FORWARDING

Step 1. Export haulage: The first step involves the movement of the products’ cargo from shipper’s to forwarder’s premises. Products usually get transported by road or railways or a combination of both.

Step 2. Export customs clearance: It is a type of official regulatory formality involving submission of valid and required documents to the concerned authorities.

Step 3. Origin handling: This step covers all physical handling, inspection, and loading of the cargo; at the supplier End’s warehouse. This is coordinated by the freight forwarder.

Step 4. Ocean freight: To meet the required timeline for shipments, freight forwarder schedules shipping line for transportation. This step not only covers costs involved in shipping from port-to-port but also the levied surcharges like currency adjustment factor, exchange rates, etc..

Step 5. Import customs clearance: This process can begin even before the arrival of cargo at the US. This clearance is performed by customs house broker appointed by the consignee.

Step 6. Destination handling: This involves transportation and unloading of cargo from port to destination warehouse.

Step 7. Import haulage: The final step of actual delivery of the product to the consignee and ultimately to the consumer.
