Make a plan: Sea transport is the fastest, but it also takes the longest. You can save time by making a reservation in advance – and you will be less stressed if delays occur.
Off-peak shipping: During times of high volume, shipping rates and transit times increase. During the low season, ship wherever you can.
Ensure that the documentation is accurate: In order to obtain a quick clearance of customs, it is essential to have your documentation in order.
Know the HS Codes: Most shippers are surprised by the extent to which customs duties can affect their business expenses. Prepare a budget based on your analysis.
Consider the statements of different suppliers: Supplier statements can vary, so it is advisable to compare offers from a variety of suppliers before making a selection.
Understand the statement: Are you making a port-to-port or an entryway-to-entryway statement? What services does it provide? Ensure that you are aware of what you are paying for in order to avoid being surprised by unexpected costs
