Things to Check in your Shipments

The verification phase is as important as any other in the import and export process.

There are diverse factors that are part of the general process of transporting and sending of goods. Whether you’re an importer or an exporter, is determinant knowing every detail of how shipment works to ensure everything goes well. Do you think this part of the process requires your attention? Here are some details you should heed.

Shipping consists mainly of two parts: the packing of the goods and the shipment of those goods to the predetermined location. As you might know, this process involves all the steps the products need to pass to be put in the respective vessel for shipping. It also includes all documents, such as the sales order and correspondent picking tickets of the goods, needed for the packing slip and bill of lading of the whole process. Accomplishing the FDA regulations, and all the importation requirements, seems easy, right? But some details might cause you some inconveniences:

The right item and quantity: when making an order of any particular commodity, you must be very careful of which product you’re ordering and the correct amount of it. Mistakes like these in this field seem unlikely, but they happen more than you think. To avoid it, make sure you have your picking ticket or use barcodes to track your inventory.
Be aware of the risk of theft: there have been cases of disappearance of goods in the process of picking, and due to the lack of controls, the only way to notice what was stolen is upon arrival. Avoid theft of goods by restricting the access to the commodity, and in the event of something missing, you can track the system to see if it was registered or not.
Shipment errors: Due to the vast amount of products included in the shipping process, there’s a small percentage of mistakes in the shipping that tend to occur, such as loss of packed goods, accidents on the sea, delays due to unfavorable weather, and so on. In these cases, it’s hard to recover what was shipped, and most of the times it’s a complete loss, but just like we said before, you should have at hand all your shipping documents to ensure the recovery of these losses.

Verification phase

This part of the shipment is the one that ensures your goods follow the specifications and terms of the buyer. For exports, this procedure requires the revision of a sample of the commodities to ensure they follow the standards before the shipment is carried out. The previous check is what determines the product complies with the demands the client has and avoids a misunderstood between both parts.

Both exporters and importers must have these details in mind, as both require a successful shipping process to obtain and sell goods.
