In our daily lives, whether it’s carpooling through Didi, sharing orders on Dianping, group buying on Meituan, or other similar services, pooling resources is inevitable. As we all know, this can help save some money and also increase the sales volume for businesses. In fact, in international trade and logistics such as the sea transport of hazardous goods, competition is also inevitable; sharing containers and ships is something that happens routinely. Today, the editor from Shanghai International Logistics will take you to learn about the precautions related to LCL shipping in international import and export logistics. First of all, it is important to make a proper distinction, namely between goods and different zones within the warehouse: among goods, there are those under customs supervision and those not under customs supervision. Whether the layout of various functional areas is reasonable has a significant impact on the operational costs and quality of warehouses. The editor suggests that in the sea freight consolidation of hazardous goods, the areas should be divided into a packing area, a seizure area, an inspection area, and a storage area; it is better to establish these areas in accordance with relevant requirements. Regarding arrival reports, for LCL shipments, they are sent upon the arrival of hazardous goods by sea at the customs supervision facility; a packing list must be issued after packing is completed and sealed. Be sure to keep the records properly; all current records are connected to the network. In the process of hazardous goods sea freight and LCL logistics, two things must be ensured: real-time updates on the status of the goods; and any customs-controlled goods that have been stored for more than 3 months must be reported to the customs in a timely manner. In cases where a single shipment cannot be shipped due to inspection abnormalities or other reasons, it is necessary to proceed with the procedures for unloading and re-shipment promptly. It should be noted that once such procedures are carried out for a single shipment, it cannot be shipped using its original container; therefore, it is essential to verify information such as the customs declaration form, bill of lading, and container number before taking any action. The final step is the transportation to the port. In the case of sea freight for hazardous goods, if the consolidation warehouse and the departure port are not located in the same customs jurisdiction, it is recommended to complete the relevant procedures promptly so that the customs can oversee the transportation process. The above are the key points that the editor would like to highlight regarding the export of hazardous goods by sea in LCL form.
