Explanation of FBA's maritime operation process

Due to the need to handle a larger number and types of goods, the operational process of FBA sea freight will be more complex. Many companies that choose FBA for the first time may experience delayed customs clearance or other issues due to unfamiliarity with the operating procedures, resulting in the inability to deliver goods to their destination on schedule. To this end, Shenzhen Dinghuan International Freight has summarized the five major processes of FBA sea freight booking, container loading, customs declaration, selection of sea freight methods, and cleaning, for your reference only.

Before the goods are shipped by FBA, people should confirm with the logistics transportation company whether the goods are prohibited goods for transportation, whether they meet the requirements of sea transportation, and whether they have already obtained the certification qualification of the exporting country. After confirmation, we can proceed with booking the cargo space. During non peak freight periods, we usually only need to book the cargo space two to three days in advance. After booking the cargo hold, customs clearance documents should be prepared according to customs requirements. At the same time as customs declaration, container loading work can be carried out. When packing goods, it is necessary to determine the number of pieces, weight, square meters, and boards based on the cargo list to prevent FBA sea transportation from being able to proceed normally due to discrepancies between the cargo information and the customs declaration list. The choice of sea freight requires people to choose corresponding logistics transportation services based on the urgency of the goods. After the packaging of the goods is completed, the customs declaration information is almost accurate, and you can proceed with tax refund customs declaration or bill of lading customs declaration.

After the goods are declared without any abnormalities, they are transported by ship to the destination port, completing 90% of the FBA sea freight operation. The remaining operational step is customs clearance, which is a very important and critical step, depending on whether the goods can arrive at FBA smoothly. In order to successfully complete customs clearance, many companies choose a freight forwarding company with a professional customs clearance team. In the operation of FBA maritime transportation, we must not take chances and exploit customs loopholes.
