B/L handling and display of sea freight
In order to accept your container at the seaport, the original bills of lading must first be submitted to the shipping company. Once the bill of lading has been presented, the shipping company will clear the container for collection at the container terminal.
We carry out all coordination with the shipping company owner for you and submit the documentation in each case.
If the deliveries are “Freight to collect”, we pay an advance to the shipping company for the sea freight, if the customer has cleared us to do so. We charge commission, equating to 2% of the advance amount, for administrative expenses incurred in relation to this.
We prepare the container for acceptance at the container terminal and advance the Terminal Handling Charges, if the customer has not yet paid these, and issue commitment note A 18 for the container’s acceptance at the container terminal.
Our services include customs clearance for domestic importers, fiscal clearance for customers from outside of the EU or from other EU member countries and redirection using the T1 transit procedure.
Services include container carriage by HGV or a combined rail/HGV service and loading and unloading of containers, storage, picking and presentation of goods for plant protection, veterinary or customs inspections.
