Once we have booked your shipment with a shipping line, you will receive an email from us with all the relevant shipping details inclusive of the vessel it has been booked on. The Bill of Lading Information will include the name of the vessel, the approximate date of arrival at the destination port, contact details of the shipping line’s agent and your consignee details. The local agent will be your first point of contact with regards retrieving freight documents to enable commencement of customs clearance at the country of destination. Only after the vessel has left the shores of UK, will we be able to send you the original bill of lading – (“The official Instrument of Ownership”). The bill of lading along with other required documentation i.e. commercial invoice, packing list, international passport etc, are all that will be required to be presented to the local customs officials in order to arrange customs clearance and to collect your freight from the port facilities.
There are strict rules guiding what you can and cannot send by sea freight. In addition to the above, there also is prohibition list for some countries. Please find out before sending your goods via sea freight. Items that can not be shipped by sea freight can be categorised mainly into three categories as follows: Valuables We do not accept valuable cargo. This includes cash, traveller’s cheques, stamp collections, deeds, tickets, jewellery, watches, or similar items. Junk or waste materials Scrap metal, paper waste, or used tyres for example, are not accepted. Hazardous and Dangerous Cargo - Many items which seem harmless to an individual are regarded as “dangerous goods” when being shipped by sea freight. It is against the law to send these items in your packages if they are not declared on the shipper’s inventory. If you do have “dangerous goods” to send, they must be packed, handled and labelled in a specialist manner by professional export packers. Dangerous goods are more expensive to send than general freight. Prohibited Goods - Some countries have a list of prohibited items, not allowed for import. It is solely the responsibility of you the shipper to be familiar with the regulations of the country you intend sending your consignment to.
