Getting it Right When You Ship



Bill of ladings can be complex documents, and when filled out improperly can create a huge issue at various ports of call and for your consignee.  Fortunately, there are a few key things to think about that can help prevent problems.  Here are some ways to get it right from the start so you can ensure your cargo ships smoothly.

Consider your consignee carefully.  If you are shipping because of repeat business or shipping to yourself, then this isn’t as big of an issue.  But if your consignee is not well known to you that could present a problem with shipping.  If they do not show up to receive the cargo and are virtually untraceable, your cargo could be abandoned. 

Getting written confirmation from your consignee about the shipping conditions is a great way to provide yourself some insurance about the cargo.  If your consignee balks at the idea or starts to delay, consider this a big, red flag.

Make sure all the proper documents are in order.  Without proper documents, your consignee won’t be able to take possession of the cargo anyway!  This can also include the way the cargo is shipped.  Clear up right at the time of booking whether the cargo is going as Freight Prepaid or Freight Collect so there is no shipping disputes later that prevent possession of cargo. 

Letters of credit are also important documents to get right as well.  Without the proper letters of credit, sometimes cargo can’t be claimed, creating serious delays and possible additional fines or fees.  Banks can be very picky about what kind of letter of credit they are willing to accept, and documentation is critical.

If you don’t take the proper precautions, then you run the risk of creating a situation where there is abandoned cargo.  This is more than just a headache and a stessor – it can mean a total loss.  Getting it right in terms of paperwork can make all the difference in a successful experience.  Don’t have a clue about paperwork?  Use K International to help you navigate the logistics!

Protecting Your Cargo



There are many important steps you can take to pack your cargo properly, ship your cargo and get it to its destination safely.  Unfortunately there are instances in which your precious cargo seems like a great target for thieves.  Are there ways to prevent the loss of your valuable cargo?  Absolutely.  Here are some tips to consider when you are ready to ship your goods.

If you are shipping goods as a company, be cautious about revealing your pick up and drop off points.  The more employees who know what is going on, the more opportunities there are for someone to plan to steal something en route.  People may accidentally spread the word.

Make sure you do a careful internal audit before your goods ship.  It is hard to submit a claim and have it settled in a timely fashion if you don’t know the full extent of the goods you’ve lost.  Do an internal audit first.

Know the hot spots and the ideal times for theft.  Consider residential burglary.  It is often thought that most burglaries take place as break-ins in the night.  In fact, most break-ins happen during the day when people are at work.  Stay on top the trends for theft and make sure you plan to avoid the hot spots.

Get to know the law enforcement in your area.  Partner with the people who generally watch crime trends and consult with them to see what can be done to keep your goods safer.

Cargo theft remains a serious problem around the world, despite all the good efforts from shipping countries to protect cargo.  Even the theft of fuel, parts and other shipping items are targets for thieves.  Making sure you follow a few well-placed tips can keep your cargo safe.
