Key Points to Note in International Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

International transportation is a complex business, involving multiple links and numerous factors. To ensure the smooth transportation of goods, the following points need special attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comply with Regulations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International transportation is subject to various regulations. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has formulated many regulations, such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the MARPOL Convention. For dangerous goods, it is necessary to strictly follow the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) and the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR). At the same time, it is essential to understand the relevant transportation management regulations of the origin, transit, and destination countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the Right Transportation Mode<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different transportation modes have their own characteristics. Sea – freight is suitable for large – volume, low – value bulk goods and container goods due to its large capacity and low cost, accounting for more than 80% of the total international freight volume. Air – freight is fast and suitable for high – value electronic products and fresh goods, but it is expensive. Railway transportation, especially the China – Europe Railway Express, can reduce costs by more than 30% and is suitable for bulk goods with less strict time – requirements. Road transportation is flexible and is often used for short – distance connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare Documents Accurately<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transport documents are crucial, such as bills of lading, air waybills, and multimodal transport documents. The bill of lading is a document of title, and its issuance must comply with the Hague Rules. The air waybill is a proof of the transportation contract and is not a document of title. In addition, customs declaration documents must be consistent with the actual situation of the goods, otherwise, it may lead to goods being detained and fined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay Attention to Packaging<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packaging of goods should meet the International Packaging Specification (ISPM 15). In particular, wooden packaging needs to be heat – treated or fumigated and an international phytosanitary certificate should be issued, otherwise, it will affect customs clearance. The packaging should also be able to withstand the shocks and vibrations during transportation to ensure the safety of the goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handle Insurance Matters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is recommended to purchase all – risks insurance, and the insurance amount should be at least 100% of the value of the goods. The insurance period should cover the entire transportation process, including loading, transportation, unloading, and customs clearance. In case of goods damage, it is necessary to notify the carrier in time, retain evidence, and apply for an inspection report to claim within the specified time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track and Communicate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the transportation process, it is necessary to track the transportation status of the goods in real – time. With the development of technology, electronic bills of lading and other means can be used to track the goods status in real – time. At the same time, maintain good communication with carriers, freight forwarders, and customers, and deal with various problems that may arise in a timely manner.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
