Iran Logistics Line Ocean LCL refers to the classification and sorting of goods by the carrier or agent according to the nature and destination of the goods after accepting the small-ticket freight consigned by the consignor. The goods going to the same destination are concentrated in a certain number of boxes. So what should we pay attention to when choosing Iran Logistics Line Ocean LCL? What are the characteristics of Iran Logistics Line Ocean LCL?

1. What should we pay attention to when choosing Iran Logistics Line Ocean LCL?

Integrate the goods of the shipper and consignee. The whole box is composed of goods from multiple different shippers and consignees.

Trade terms are different from the policies and regulations of the importing and exporting countries on the restrictions and requirements of various commodities. Some commodities and goods are not restricted when exported, but the importing country has them. Once this happens, it will not only affect customs clearance, but also directly affect other goods transported in the same box.

The customs declaration, inspection and other links of imported and exported goods are different: if there are problems with customs clearance, inspection and other aspects of several tickets of goods transported in the same box, including missed inspections and missed inspection items, time delays, it will affect the transportation of the whole box.

Complete documents and consistency of goods: whether all kinds of documents are complete, the consignee and the port of destination, the name, specification, packaging, quantity, weight, size, etc. of the goods. No errors can be generated, such as weight. If each ticket has a slight overweight, it will affect the overall overweight of the transportation, which will bring difficulties to the container transportation, resulting in transportation accidents; another example is the size. If there is a slight overweight, the integrated volume may be larger than the container content, resulting in the inability to load or even dump the goods, which will affect the transportation of the entire container cargo.

Temporary changes: From the place of production to the departure of the ship, traders and shippers will constantly check and verify the true situation 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 judge the various things that may happen after the goods arrive at the port of destination. If there is a problem, the relevant parties should be contacted in time to ensure the smooth transportation of the goods. Due to the large number of cargo tickets involved in the LCL process, changes like this will be more frequent than full container cargo.

2. What are the characteristics of Iran Logistics Special Line Ocean LCL?

Pay attention to the relevant transportation terms (specify which mode of transportation and payment method are used for transportation). For the transportation of LCL goods, special attention should be paid to what mode of transportation and payment method are used for transportation, which is very important for transportation. The letter of credit (L/C) stipulates that LCL freight does not accept the bill of lading of the freight forwarder, because the shipping company does not directly accept the booking of LCL goods. The shipping company's ocean bill of lading is given to the freight forwarder, and then the freight forwarder issues the freight forwarder's bill of lading (HOUSE B/L) to the shipper. If the letter of credit stipulates that the freight forwarder's bill of lading is not accepted, it will cause inconsistency in the letter of credit when the actual transportation is handled, thereby causing some unnecessary losses to the shipper.

Do not specify a specific shipping company for LCL cargo. Shipping companies only accept bookings for full container loads, but not directly for LCL cargo. Only after the LCL cargo is consolidated through freight forwarders can they book with shipping companies. Due to the limitation of the supply of goods, general freight forwarders can only focus on booking with several shipping companies, and rarely meet the needs of designated shipping companies. Therefore, when trading goods, try not to specify a shipping company, so as to avoid not being able to meet the requirements of the designated shipping company when handling consignment and being unable to transport the goods.

The billing tons of LCL cargo must be accurate. Before delivery, customers must accurately measure the weight of their goods in advance, because the goods must be remeasured when they arrive at the warehouse designated by the freight forwarder, and this will be used as the standard. If the factory changes the packaging, the factory should be required to notify in time, and do not wait until the goods are delivered to the freight forwarder warehouse. When the information is fed back through the freight forwarder, the time is often very tight. Closing documents can easily delay customs clearance, or generate emergency customs clearance fees and port charges. So before delivery, accurately measure the weight of your goods.

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

Pay attention to the integrity of the data. At present, China has joined the WTO, so it protects intellectual property rights. For goods involving intellectual property rights, the "Intellectual Property Declaration Form" should be filled in advance. Whether there is a famous brand or not, whether it is a registered trademark of a company or factory, or a customer's brand, the relevant registered trademark information or the customer's authorization letter should be prepared in advance; if there are many types of goods, the names and numbers of various goods should be listed in detail when making the customs declaration form, and the codes of major categories of goods must not be used instead. If customs problems are caused during the customs declaration process and it is found that the goods are inconsistent with the actual goods, it will cause trouble for not releasing them. At the same time, all kinds of information required for customs declaration and clearance cannot be missing.

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