Behind the Bill of Lading The Real Work of Global Logistics

The Bill of Lading: More Than Just Paperwork 

• The cargo is packed and labelled correctly 

• The shipment complies with both the origin and destination country’s regulations 

• The HS codes, commercial invoice, packing list, and other documents are accurately aligned 

• The correct Incoterms are applied to avoid disputes 

• Booking is made with the most reliable carrier, based on transit time, space availability, and cost-efficiency 

🔍 The Invisible Layer of Global Trade 

• Navigating duties, exemptions, and documentation requirements across multiple countries. 

• Coordination with carriers, CFS, port authorities, and customs officials to ensure timely movement. 

• Real-time tracking to ensure no cargo goes missing — especially with tight deadlines. 

• Prevention of penalties like demurrage and detention by proactive planning and alert systems. 

• Problem-solving on the fly — rerouting shipments due to port congestion, strikes, or weather delays.
