The designated goods refer to the freight forwarder appointed by the foreign buyer, and the forwarder shall be responsible for arranging the transportation of the goods. Usually means FOB, EXW, etc. Freight to pay the goods (i.e., goods borne by foreign buyers).

Specifies the operation flow of the goods.

First of all, it is the forwarder appointed by the buyer (hereinafter referred to as the foreign agent) to send an email or contact the domestic company or partner through other contact information to inform the shipper of the contact information.

Secondly, after receiving the contact information of shipper, the domestic forwarder contacted shipper to ask about the status of the goods, and sent an email or other means to inform the foreign agent. If the goods are ready, please inform the other party about the expected shipment and ask if you can arrange the shipment. If the foreign agent's booking date is used, we will also ask for the booking of the space, so that we can submit it to the shipping company. Need special attention is that the specified goods is listening to the consignee's instruction, rather than listen to consignor, consignor when there is any do not conform to the requirements of the conventional, must inform the agent abroad, in foreign agents permission can be arranged, if can't accept the requirements of the shipper. Especially when you first operate the shipper's goods. To avoid unnecessary trouble.

After obtaining the foreign agent's license, we can arrange the customs clearance and other matters. Of course, the stable cargo of the regular delivery can inform the other party of the voyage information while booking the space. At the same time, it is necessary to ask the other party about the format of HBL, generally speaking, it will be the HBL provided by the foreign agent.

During the delivery of goods, if there are any status updates and problems, please communicate with foreign agents timely.

After loading the goods shipment, after the bill of lading issued, how much is the need to ask overseas agent handlingcharge, then along with the MBL, HBL, PSS (profitsharesheet), and other customs clearance documents (such as the agent ask you to) send to foreign agents.

In addition, since the same country may have more than one agent, do not confuse the goods between different agents, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. Branch if they own the company in the country, nor will branch information disclosed to overseas agent, this will let foreign agents feel you are in competition with him, affect the future cooperation.

What is the risk of ordering goods?

Due to the forwarder to the consignee or consignor of the bill of lading is issued by HBL (forwarder bill of lading) rather than the MBL (shipping company b/l), and the HBL and can not really achieve the purpose of control right of cargo, so will cause the foreign agent "shipment release without collection bill of lading", namely foreign agents in the case of no HBL, thanks to its have the MBL after taking the goods from the shipping company to the consignee, consignor payment caused by two empty.

Of course, there are very few of them now. However, when the exporter and the importer cooperate for the first time, they still need to pay attention to this problem. The consignee should be urged to pay as early as possible.
