Export transportation of dangerous goods from China to Uganda by sea

01. Business background

The customer contacted the WeChat official account of Sohang.com through the recommendation of the old customer. After communicating with the logistics consultant, the customer entrusted the door-to-door logistics transportation from China to Uganda.

The customer is a fire-fighting equipment production equipment company, and the fire-fighting agent is heptafluoropropane, which is a Class 2.2 dangerous product. It is the first time for the customer to carry out an export transportation project, and the procedures need to be confirmed and handled by a logistics consultant.

The customer's product is a special dangerous product, and there is a specified delivery time limit abroad, which requires an accurate transportation plan, especially after entering the dangerous goods warehouse to make an appointment for COC certification, personnel from the certification agency need to go to the packing site to inspect and issue a certificate.

02. Business difficulties and solutions

business difficulties

1) There are many names of goods and the classification is complicated.

2) Dangerous goods booking needs to provide dangerous package dangerous book, boiler inspection certificate for booking. The booking needs to be approved by the headquarters of the shipping company, and the time is relatively slow. At the same time, the "piece weight ruler" needs to be confirmed when booking.

3) COC certification needs to be made in advance, and the customs declaration materials and bill of lading must be accurate before making an appointment with COC.

4) The business time is urgent, and the Ugandan customer requires a tight delivery time.

solution

1) Accurate packing list, msds, boiler inspection certificate, cargo photos, bill of lading shipper are required for booking, and the weight of the confirmed package cannot be changed later. Pack and mail to the shipowner for approval.

2) Arrange the goods to enter the warehouse after the space is booked successfully. The customer's goods have to be put into the warehouse in batches, but the dangerous goods warehouse has a high charge for entering the warehouse. The logistics consultant applies to the customer to only charge the warehouse entry fee once to reduce the customer's cost. At the same time, the consignment company is required to arrange a professional dangerous goods car, and at the same time place a well-known card and the original msds. The transportation needs to avoid the high temperature period (10:00-16:00), and the general cargo needs to provide the original non-dangerous guarantee before it can be arranged to enter the warehouse.

3) About COC commodity inspection. Provide accurate packing list and invoice, and determine the loading time. It is necessary to coordinate the delivery of dangerous goods, pick up the cabinet at the terminal, and the COC commodity inspection personnel to unify the time. The dangerous goods warehouse at the wharf does not store dangerous goods, and the dangerous goods need to be packed immediately after entering the warehouse, and the new COC regulations require on-site supervision of loading and sealing. In addition, the time of all the above actions needs to avoid the high temperature period, so the requirements are extremely strict.

4) Prepare boiler inspection certificates, msds and original data of goods, and assist in the production of customs declaration materials (selection of customs declaration product names, classification of hs codes, data calculation of packing list and invoices, etc.).

5) There are specific requirements for the insurance of dangerous goods. It is necessary to confirm with the insurance company in advance before sailing, and complete the insurance before sailing.

6) Assist in the production of the CO certificate of origin, and make the certificate of origin after the bill of lading is issued.

7) Follow up the actual sailing time and report to the customer ETD and ETA in time.

8) After the documents are counted, they will be summarized and delivered to the customer.

9) When the goods arrive at the transshipment port, notify and provide customs clearance materials, etc.

10) The collection business operation is completed.

Risk Aversion

1. The operation of dangerous goods must be carried out in accordance with the system and procedures, and refrain from playing around the corner or providing false information.

2. The business documents are guaranteed to be authentic and valid, and the documents involved must be authentic to prevent problems in foreign customs clearance.

3. Warehouse packing needs to be carried out in accordance with the instructions for dangerous goods operations, and timely and accurate cooperation is required.

4. The COC pre-ship inspection requires as much success as possible at the first time, reducing repeated communication and friction with the commodity inspection personnel, and ensuring the time limit for passing the inspection.

5. Summarize documents in time to speed up document processing.

6. Choose a professional dangerous goods agency company.
