Time-Saving Tips for Shipping Freight

Time-Saving Tips for Shipping Freight
Time-Saving Tips for Shipping Freight

For the best shipping rates, you want to start the process of preparing your shipment as soon as possible. Depending on what you're shipping, this may involve packing, packing, and placing your cargo on pallets for dry truck loading. If you have flatbed hauling, such as heavy equipment, you will need to collect the make and model, as well as the size and weight of the load. Once you have your load ready and have a solid plan for the size of the load, it's time to decide on shipping. By taking these steps before contacting the company for shipping costs, you can save a lot of backtracking.

Choose your shipping type

Do you ship by full truckload, including 26 pallets or 46,000 lbs? Or would you like to ship some of your shipments using less than full truckload (LTL) freight services? Either is possible, but you need to know which type of shipping service to request.

Choose a trailer

Determine the type of trailer required for loading. If the load requires weather protection and safety, a dry truck trailer is the way to go. However, your load must fit on a 53-foot wall trailer. If you're transporting oversized loads, heavy equipment or vehicles, a flatbed trailer is your only option. Unprocessed liquids and bulk commodities such as corn or grain require tanker trailers. A refrigerated trailer is required for cargo that must be kept at a certain temperature, such as frozen meat or fresh fruit. Know the basic trailer type you need to get a more accurate shipping rate.

Determine the distance

The biggest determinant of shipping costs is how far the goods need to be transported. Get the shipping and delivery destination addresses before contacting anyone for shipping costs. The freight company will calculate the exact mileage based on the actual mileage or short distance mileage. The difference between actual and short mileage is the mileage required to deliver the load. Typically, short-haul miles cost less than actual miles by up to 5%.

While you might be inclined to choose shipping rates based on short mileage, keep one thing in mind. Carriers who pay actual miles are generally considered higher-paid freight employers. These high-paying companies are able to attract higher-quality drivers who are more experienced and ready to work with the company long-term. This means for you usually a more specialized fleet to handle your freight and represent your brand in front of your customers.

Contact a shipping agent

You can contact individual shipping companies or independent contractors to obtain shipping charges for your shipments. However, time is of the essence, and you want to determine shipping quickly to avoid last-minute shipping surcharges. The easiest way is to contact a freight forwarder such as TJ chinafreight. We'll do the heavy lifting for you to shop around. Our team, working in over a hundred countries around the world, is always ready to help you. This enables you to get the most competitive price possible.

Make sure your load

Whether you hire a freight carrier or work with a shipping agent, you need to protect your cargo. This is where cargo insurance comes in. The shipping company will have its own liability insurance. However, you also need to make sure that the person you choose to ship the goods has adequate cargo coverage to cover the value of the goods you ship. If your load values ​​exceed your coverage limits, consider increasing your coverage.

Bangladesh has a total of 3 seaports and 22 river ports, the largest of which is located in Chittagong, its second largest city, and the second largest in Mongla.
It takes about 18-24 days from China to Bangladesh. Standard freight sizes are 20ft, 40ft and 40m3 tall containers which are loaded as Full Container Loads (FCL) while other cargo loads are considered Shared Container Loads (LCL).

International shipping services from China to Bangladesh are subject to duties and taxes. The unique 10-digit code on the product serves as the tracking number and also helps in calculating the tax due on each product. Once this is done, your shipment can be shipped to your destination. During this period, we provide warehousing services in China for pre-shipment goods, and we also provide express delivery services. Knowing that customs clearance at port can be a hassle, we also offer this type of service.

FCL from China to Bangladesh

If you have a large amount of goods, you can use the full case shipping.
Under this method, your freight forwarder will issue you a container to fill your cargo.
Depending on the agreement, you can have hours or days to fill your container.
Once you are done loading, you can make sure the container is ready to ship.
FCL keeps your cargo safe because a container is yours only.
Even if you can't fill a container, you can still use the container because you will pay for the entire container.

China to Bangladesh LCL by sea

LCL is convenient if you're shipping cargo that doesn't fill the container.
What happens under the LCL is that you contact your forwarder to book container space for your cargo.
Your freight forwarder reserves space for your cargo and other cargo that cannot fill the container.
The only condition is that all shipments go in the same direction.
Once the container is full, your forwarder will make sure it is ready to ship.
For LCL, you will pay for the space occupied by the goods.
Your only limitation is that your shipment may be lost or damaged when shipped in LCL.

Shipping from China to Brunei

Brunei, a small country. But it ranks second among Southeast Asian countries on the Human Development Index, after Singapore, and is classified as a developed country according to Wikipedia. Shipping goods from China to Brunei has shipping, air and other transportation methods. Choosing a good freight forwarding partner can make your goods reach the destination more efficiently. TJ-chinafreight is one of the most trusted forwarders in China, allowing your cargo to arrive safely.

There are 4 different shipping methods: FCL, LCL, Air and Courier

Each of them has its unique advantages, disadvantages and application conditions.

In general

  • FCL : Suitable for large volumes above 10 CBM.
  • LCL : Suitable for small volume cargo. Save on shipping.
  • Air Freight: A fast option but more expensive compared to ocean freight.
  • Express: The most convenient for small shipments.

Which is better, sea, air or express?

Sea freight

It will be dispatched after FCL is carried out at domestic ports, and some service providers will transit in Singapore, and then transport it to the 4 major ports in Brunei for customs clearance, sorting and delivery. For some bulky goods, it is more suitable to choose sea freight, and the cost is relatively low.

Air Freight 

In China, direct cargo flights to Brunei will be arranged for transportation. After arriving at the customs, customs clearance will be carried out. After sorting, it will be handed over to the local logistics for delivery. The safety level will be higher, and the timeliness will be faster, but the cost will be higher.

Express line

Brunei express line is divided into ordinary line and express line. The time limit of ordinary line is slower and it is also through express. The service provider will cooperate with the courier company for transportation and delivery.

When will the Brunei special line arrive at the fastest time?

  • By Air: It takes about 5-7 days.
  • By sea: about 10-15 days.
  • Express: It takes about 7-15 days for the normal line, and 3-7 days for the express line.

Needed file

For importers

Businesses importing into Brunei must provide the following documents:

Duties and Taxes

Brunei follows the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) for imported and exported goods that are not from ASEAN member countries. For imports and exports between ASEAN member countries, Brunei follows the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff (AHTN).

Import duties and taxes

As of January 1, 2019, the vast majority of goods imported into Brunei are not subject to tariffs. A small number of goods subject to customs duties are taxed at five or ten percent.

  • Goods subject to the 5% tariff include: petroleum and bitumen oils, cleaning supplies, film equipment, lamps and wood.
  • Goods subject to a 10% tariff include: certain fabrics, blankets, curtains and musical instruments.

Brunei does not impose other additional taxes on imported products.

Export duties and taxes

No customs duties are levied on exports from Brunei.

At last

Due to Brunei's single-window customs clearance and low tariff rates, importing and exporting in this small sovereign country is much easier than in some of its Southeast Asian neighbors. Utilizing experts with local knowledge ensures that importers and exporters can import and export goods quickly.

Ship backlog decreases outside Los Angeles port

barge docked in port
barge docked in port

The Port of Los Angeles released its March container throughput report on Tuesday, which came in better than expected at 958,674 TEU. It was the port's best March ever for container throughput figures. In the first quarter of this year, total cargo volume at the Port of Los Angeles reached 2,682,034 TEU, an increase of 3.5% over the same period last year, completing the best first quarter ever.

The month-on-month surge in imports was particularly pronounced. Import shipments in March were up 17% from February and 29% from December, which was at its lowest level since June 2020, when the U.S. was in lockdown.

Gene Serok, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said in announcing the monthly data that container imports in March 2022 reached 495,196 TEU, up 1% year-on-year; container exports were 11,781 TEU, down 9% year-on-year. Exports from the Port of Los Angeles have declined in 37 of the past 41 months.

Record volumes of freight have been stuck in ships lining up outside the port. Actual cargo volumes arriving in California from Asia in March should be seasonally reduced due to the Chinese New Year holiday in February. But as more ships were lined up to unload, import box handling surged.

The number of container ships waiting around the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach fell 20% from 60 to 48 in early March to the end of March, according to data from the Southern California Maritime Exchange.

"I think that's why we had a strong first quarter," said Gene Seroka. "First of all, our terminals are handling cargo at record levels, and we have berths at the terminals, with improved terminal liquidity and a reduction in the backlog of vessels outside the port. There’s also more room to deploy on the docks. Two, we have more workers on the docks. Three, we’re using more data than ever before.”

When the supply chain crisis finally lifted, it looked like it should have been an increase in imports at first, followed by a downturn. The number of waiting ships at the Port of Los Angeles follows the first part of this pattern, but this may only be a temporary relief. Not only is the rate of decline in queues on the West Coast slowing, if not reversed, but port congestion on other coasts is still very high.

On April 4, the container ship queue at the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach dropped to 33. There were 46 container ships waiting on Tuesday morning, up 39% from the lows.

Vessel position data from MarineTraffic showed that the number of vessels in queue remained high Tuesday afternoon near ports on the East Coast/Gulf Coast. A total of 64 container ships are waiting to berth, including 16 in the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, 13 in the Port of New York/New Jersey, 12 in the Port of Houston, 11 in the Port of Virginia, and 6 in the Port of Savannah, Georgia There are three ships in Freeport, Bahamas, and one each in Philadelphia, New Orleans and Jacksonville, Florida.

At the same time, there is no evidence yet of a significant drop in import shipments. FreightWaves has a proprietary seaborne import cargo volume index to the United States, measured in TEU, indexed to January 2019. The index remained above 200, about the same as a year earlier.

“MSC, Yixing Shipping and SIPG provide “”land-to-water”” services

Recently, the new crown epidemic has rebounded in China, and the anti-epidemic situation is very serious. In order to further improve the service level of Shanghai Port, continue to optimize the collection and distribution system of Shanghai Port, and relieve the pressure of tight road transportation resources in Shanghai Port affected by the epidemic, SIPG has launched "container land-to-water" services to serve all sectors of society, providing customers with efficient, Convenient water transport service.

Mediterranean Shipping (MSC)

On April 9, Mediterranean Shipping (MSC) announced that it will jointly provide "land-to-water" services with Shanghai Port Group.

MSC said that in the early stage of the new round of the epidemic, SIPG made corresponding preparations in advance to ensure the normal operation efficiency of ports and terminals, and MSC's shipping schedule in Shanghai was effectively guaranteed.

However, since the closure of the city in Shanghai, land transportation has been restricted to a certain extent, which has affected customers' order exchange and case pick-up business. A large number of imported containers piled up at the terminal, resulting in a tight storage space.

In order to effectively alleviate this situation and help customers have more choices, MSC and SIPG actively communicated and cooperated and launched the following two major measures: First, to provide "land-to-water" services to alleviate the current status of land transportation. The second is to actively respond to the call of SIPG to promote the paperless order exchange business.

According to reports, the "land to water" service uses the advantages of waterways to alleviate the shortage of road transportation resources under the epidemic through the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and ensure the timeliness of transportation. The paperless and contactless operation model is an initiative currently being fully implemented by SIPG. MSC said that it will actively respond to help customers effectively ensure the efficiency of logistics and transportation.

Also cooperating with Shanghai Port Group is Xingchen Shipping.

On April 10, Yixing Shipping issued an announcement stating that due to the severe epidemic situation, it is difficult to provide card collection services. To this end, Yixing cooperates with Shanghai Port Group to provide customers with "land-to-water" solutions (Taicang undertakes the Shanghai-Taiwan Stock Connect service) to promote the normal operation of the container transportation business.

Yixing said that at the export service outlets, the transportation fee from the "land to water" port to the Shanghai terminal will be settled by the booking agent directly with the shipping agency, and the rest of the booking operation process is related to Shanghai local export.

In terms of import services, customers can handle the "land to water" entrustment on their own on the SIPG platform. "

How to choose the FBA head journey

Buyers will be more inclined to products shipped by Amazon FBA, and sellers who choose FBA will increase the cost, and the cost will naturally be included in the product price. Whether logistics channels can be reasonably optimized has also become a key link in the product pricing market, affecting sales. Many sellers may have encountered a similar situation. Other sellers of the same product suddenly dropped their price, and the price was still greatly reduced. It's not the kind of activity that can go on for a long time. In this case, that's not the case. Loss in exchange for orders is likely to optimize logistics channels. Regarding FBA logistics channels, there are still many choices. You can choose according to your situation, so as to reduce the price of the product and win the price war.

1. Establish a FBA warehousing plan

If your product is already an FBA listing, all you have to do now is click Send Inventory; but if your product is still Merchant-Fulfilled (self-delivery), you need to change the product to FBA listing first; if you don't If you know if you need to change it, after selecting Send Inventory, Amazon will also prompt you to change it or not.

2. Prepare the products that will pass the FBA first journey (Prepare Products)

Every product that passes through the FBA first journey must be packaged as required, most of which can be packed in cartons, but some categories of products need to be packed in sealed plastic bags to avoid damage during transportation, or allow Dust runs in. At the same time, each product must be affixed with a UPC barcode (if it has joined the Amazon Brand Registry).

3.Review Shipment

Before this step, Amazon will provide the FBA warehouse address you should enter the warehouse, usually three, but sending to three warehouses will increase our logistics cost. If you do not want to enter so many warehouses, you can set the target warehouse.

4. Ready to send

If you choose a truck company for logistics, if you use express delivery, it is recommended to use UPS or FedEx, which is cooperated by Amazon. Amazon will provide a great logistics discount. Here you need to provide information on the contents, or you Does not provide direct sorting by Amazon (processing fee applies)

For example, if you have 10 boxes to be put into the warehouse, then you need to fill in one by one, which products are in each box, as well as the size and weight of each box, then you can calculate the payment to Amazon for this FBA head trip. cost of;

Next, you have 24 hours to cancel the first FBA trip. Amazon will automatically refund to your account. After the Amazon FBA warehouse receives the goods, you can check the relevant information on the inventory page in the background.

How to choose a reliable FBA first-way logistics?

FBA can provide express, air, sea, customs clearance, labeling, warehousing and other logistics services. At the same time, FBA can also provide different channel transportation methods such as double-clearance tax declaration by sea and double-clearance tax declaration by air. Sellers need to choose according to their own products, services and storage time.

When we choose the FBA Toucheng logistics company, we must first consider the dedicated line channel. From domestic delivery to the United States, it only takes about 13 days to arrive at the western port of the United States, which greatly shortens the sea transportation time.
