Transport and customs clearance should be prepared together. Goods may already be in transit while documents still need completing. Identifying these dependencies in advance helps clarify the schedule and the points requiring confirmation.
Align the information
The references, quantities and parties named in the documents must be consistent. Check the available information with the appropriate contacts before starting or changing an operation.
Prepare for arrival
Share the transport details and expected arrival date. Formalities and the conditions under which the freight becomes available can affect when the final delivery leg is arranged.
Plan for points to confirm
An additional document, inspection or schedule change may alter the stages. Ask which details are confirmed and which remain estimates. Trans 4 works in transport and transit; the scope must be clarified for your specific file.
