Sea Freight Import Agency Steps: Sign Import Agreement → Consignee Prepares Docs → Document Exchange → Inspection Declaration → Customs Filing → Cargo Handover → Container Pickup → Goods Collection

Required Import Documents:

1. The consignee provides a full set of import documents to the freight forwarder. The forwarder verifies the shipping company, handling agent, and where to exchange the delivery order (small bill of lading).

2. Key documents include: Endorsed original bill of lading (or telex release copy), packing list, commercial invoice, and sales contract (for general trade).

3. The freight forwarder pre-confirms container yard fees: pickup, unpacking, loading, and empty container return costs.

1. The freight forwarder confirms the vessel’s arrival time/location with the assigned shipping agent or carrier. If transshipment is needed, the second-voyage vessel name must be verified.

2. Exchange the delivery order (small B/L) from the carrier/agent using either an endorsed original bill of lading or a telex release (with fax + guarantee letter). Note: Endorsement rules: A. If the B/L lists "booker" as consignee, the shipper must endorse it. B. If the B/L names the actual consignee, they handle endorsement.

1. Customs clearance is handled by the consignee’s designated foreign trade company.

2. Required clearance documents: Endorsed B/L (or telex release), packing list, invoice, contract, and delivery order.
