With the rapid development of international trade and transport services, continued extension of LCL containers are widely used, but different from the FCL, LCL has its special transport requirements, independently, now in the actual operation some of the problems encountered, here we discuss:
1, LCL generally can not accept?nominated vessel companies (such as Maersk, MSC and so on),?who only accept FCL cargo booking, rather than accept the LCL booking directly, only through freight forwarder?(some vessel companies through its logistics company) will LCL whole fight before booking to the shipping company, almost all of the LCL are through freight forwarding company “focus do care, focus on distribution,” to achieve the transport, distribution port in East China’s consolidation of Shanghai Port and Ningbo Port. As a general freight forwarding supply limitations, only a few shipping companies to focus on booking, few can meet the needs of the designated shipping company, so turnover LCL, try not to accept the specified shipping companies to avoid in the process of shipment Time can not meet the requirements. 2, in negotiating transactions with customers, should pay special attention to the relevant transportation provisions, so that the other letter of credit in the process of shipping out until after the discovery can not meet the transport terms. We often encounter in the daily operation of L / C does not accept the provisions of LCL freight transport bill of lading, because the shipping companies do not directly accept the LCL booking, shipping companies are out to the freight bill of lading, but by the forwarding re- issue HOUSEB / L to the shipper, if the L / C to not accept freight B / L, then the actual transport process when no options, will result in L / C discrepancies. Again, we are in the process of transportation, we found a single state care: Goods must be shipped in container on LCL basis and Bill of Lading to evidence the same and to show that all LCL handlingcharges, THC and delivery order charges atthd port of discharges are prepaid. from above this L / C of the original can be seen, the consignee will bear the cost of all he should be passed on to the shipper who, it is trade negotiations with the customer when the consignor has not transport terms due to the detailed negotiations. 3, LCL’s revenue tons strive to be accurate. LCL before delivery should be required to plant weight and size of goods to the extent possible, accurate measurement and delivery to a freight forwarding warehouse designated storage, the warehouse will normally be re-measured, and will re-measure the size and weight of charges standard. In case of change the packaging plant should be required to promptly notify the factory, do not arrive send freight warehouse, etc., by forwarding the feedback to come back, often time is very tight, and then change the customs document, is easy to delay the declaration, or have urgent declaration charges and red port fees. 4, some of the source port for LCL lack of high costs and other factors, consolidation in the freight forwarding company specializing in low volume of goods to take on a minimum fee, starting as low as 2 freight tons, or less than 2 tons of freight, be priced according to two tonnes of freight charges. Therefore, smaller volume, port cargo, partial closing of the transaction to give more consideration to some of these factors in order to avoid passive. 5, for some routes and ports more remote, and the client proposes to deliver LCL cargo to inland points, the best to consult before signing transactions, confirmed the shipping companies and freight forwarders can carry handle these remote ports, inland after the signing of delivery and related charges. 6, involving intellectual property goods, should be completed ahead of schedule, “Intellectual Property Rights Form”, with or without the brand, but also whether the company or plant registered trademarks, or customers of brand. Should be properly prepared beforehand registered trademarks of information related to the power of attorney or customers; for a wide variety of goods, a single in the trust vote, there are different types of goods, manufacturing goods alone should be a detailed list of various names and number, do not general categories of goods with a code instead of, the customs declaration will lead to doubt, be inspected and found discrepancies with the actual goods, shall not be released to bring the trouble. –
