It is necessary
- - a package of documents;
- - money.
Instructions
Step 1
Please agree with the supplier on the approximate date of shipment of the goods. If we are talking about a long distance and large cargo, try to organize delivery as early as possible. Determine the conditions under which the goods will be exported. If your counterparty takes over the delivery of goods to a transport company or to your warehouse, you will only have to control the process. However, it is often much more profitable to independently find a trusted carrier and take out the goods without additional costs and commissions.
Step 2
Select the shipping company that will deliver. Compare rates and conditions of transportation: they can differ significantly in different companies. Make an application using the carrier's template. In it, you will indicate the date of shipment, dimensions and weight of the goods, exact addresses, as well as special conditions.
Step 3
Request a package of accompanying documents from the supplier. It should include: 1. Invoice for payment 2. Packing list 3. Quality certificates. After sending the goods, the supplier sends you a copy of the consignment note, with which you can get accurate information about the location of the cargo and its characteristics. If we are talking about imports, a certificate of origin of goods and an export declaration from your foreign counterparty will be added to the above documents.
Step 4
Remember the tracking number of your shipment. Using this number, you can always find out the location of the cargo and control the time of its arrival at the destination station.
Step 5
Wait for the notification of the arrival of the goods from the shipping company. Receive the cargo at the specified address by presenting an identity document (or a power of attorney from the company), copies of accompanying documents and a bill of lading.
