Iran logistics dedicated line sea freight consolidation refers to the classification and organization of goods by carriers or agents based on their nature and destination after accepting small ticket shipments from shippers. Concentrate goods bound for the same destination in a certain number of boxes. What should we pay attention to when choosing Iran's logistics dedicated line for sea freight consolidation? What are the characteristics of Iran's logistics dedicated sea freight LCL?

1、 What should be noted when choosing Iran logistics dedicated sea freight LCL?

Integrate the goods of the shipper and consignee. A full container consists of goods from multiple different shippers and consignees.

Trade terms are different from the policies and regulations of import and export countries that impose restrictions and requirements on various commodities. Some products and goods have no restrictions on export, but the importing country. Once this situation occurs, it will not only affect customs clearance, but also directly affect other goods transported in the same container.

The customs declaration and inspection processes for import and export goods are different: for several shipments transported in the same container, if one shipment has problems in customs clearance, inspection, etc., including missed inspections, missed inspection items, and time delays, it will affect the transportation of the entire container.

Complete documents and consistency of goods: Whether all documents are complete, including the consignee and destination port, the name, specifications, packaging, quantity, weight, size, etc. of the goods. No errors should be generated, such as weight. If each shipment has a slight overweight, it will affect the overall transportation and cause difficulties in container transportation, leading to transportation accidents; For example, in terms of size, if there is slight overweight, the integrated volume may be greater than the capacity inside the container, causing the goods to be unable to be loaded or even unloaded, thereby affecting the transportation of the entire container cargo.

Temporary change: From the production site to the shipment departure, traders and shippers will continuously inspect and verify the true condition of the goods. If errors are found, including subjective and objective reasons, they will propose to modify the documents or adjust the goods. Therefore, the responsibility of a professional packaging company is to verify all the conditions of the goods before packaging them, and accurately determine various possible events that may occur after the goods arrive at the destination port. If there are any problems, relevant parties should be contacted in a timely manner to ensure the smooth transportation of goods. Due to the large number of goods involved in the LCL process, changes like this will be more frequent than for full container goods.

Pay attention to the relevant transportation terms (specify which transportation method and payment method to use for transportation). For the transportation of LCL goods, special attention should be paid to the transportation method and payment method used, which is very important for transportation. The letter of credit (L/C) stipulates that LCL freight does not accept the bill of lading from the freight forwarder because the shipping company does not directly accept the booking of LCL cargo. The shipping company's ocean bill of lading is given to the freight forwarder, who then issues the freight forwarder's bill of lading (HOUSEB/L) to the shipper. If the letter of credit stipulates that the bill of lading from the freight forwarder is not accepted, it will cause inconsistencies in the letter of credit during actual transportation, resulting in unnecessary losses for the shipper.

Do not specify a specific shipping company for LCL cargo. Shipping companies only accept bookings for full container load (FCL) cargo, and do not directly accept bookings for LCL cargo. Only by using freight forwarders to consolidate LCL cargo can bookings be made with shipping companies. Due to limited supply of goods, general freight forwarders can only focus on booking with a few shipping companies and rarely meet the needs of designated shipping companies. Therefore, when trading goods, it is advisable not to designate a shipping company as much as possible to avoid being unable to meet the requirements of the designated shipping company when handling consignment and unable to transport the goods.

The billing ton for LCL cargo should be accurate. Before delivery, customers must accurately measure the weight of their goods in advance, as the goods also need to be remeasured when they arrive at the warehouse designated by the freight forwarder and used as a standard. If the factory changes the packaging, it should be required to notify in a timely manner and not wait for the goods to be delivered to the freight forwarding warehouse. When information is fed back through freight forwarders, time is often tight and documents can easily delay customs clearance, or result in urgent customs clearance fees and port charges. So it is important to accurately measure the weight of your goods before delivery.

Consult before signing the contract. It is good to consult everyone before signing the contract. Firstly, you can know what you want to know. Secondly, for some remote routes and ports, customers propose to deliver goods to inland points. Before signing the contract, try to consult with the shipping company and freight forwarding company to confirm that they can bear the delivery and related costs of remote ports and inland points, and then sign the contract to avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Pay attention to the integrity of the data. At present, China has joined the World Trade Organization, thus protecting intellectual property rights. For goods involving intellectual property rights, the "Intellectual Property Declaration Form" should be filled out in advance. Regardless of whether there is a famous brand, whether it is a registered trademark of a company or factory, or a customer's brand, relevant registered trademark information or customer authorization letter should be prepared in advance; If there are many types of goods, when making a customs declaration, the names and numbers of each type of goods should be listed in detail, and the codes of major categories of goods must not be used as a substitute. If there are customs issues during the customs declaration process and it is found that the goods do not match the actual goods, it will cause trouble of not being released. At the same time, all kinds of documents required for customs declaration and clearance cannot be omitted.

Pay attention to the cost budget. Storage fees, LCL fees, customs clearance fees, ocean freight, destination port clearance miscellaneous fees, delivery fees, destination port tariffs, and possible inspection fees should all be included in the budget cost.
