Specific Operation Process for Import Cargo:

I. Import Documents:

1: The consignee provides the freight forwarder with a complete set of import documents; the freight forwarder clarifies which shipping company carries the cargo, which shipping agent operates it, and where the bill of lading (small bill of lading) can be obtained.

2: Import documents include: original bill of lading with endorsement or telex released copy, packing list, invoice, contract (general trade).

3: The freight forwarder contacts the yard in advance and confirms the fees for picking up the container, unloading, loading, and return.

II. Exchange of Documents:

1: The freight forwarder confirms the arrival time and location of the vessel with the designated shipping agent or shipping company. If transshipment is required, the name of the second vessel must be confirmed.

2: Present the original bill of lading with endorsement (if telex released, a fax copy of the telex release and a letter of guarantee can be provided) to the shipping company or shipping agent to exchange for the delivery order (small bill of lading).

Note: "Endorsed Original Bill of Lading" has two forms:

(1) If the consignee section on the bill of lading shows "shipper", then it is endorsed by the shipper;

(2) If the consignee section on the bill of lading shows the actual consignee, then the consignee needs to endorse it.

III. Inspection:

The inspection and quarantine bureau confirms whether this cargo needs to be inspected based on the supervision conditions in the "commodity code".

IV. Customs Declaration (Customs Clearance):

1: If the consignee has its own customs broker, it can handle customs clearance independently, or it can entrust the freight forwarder's customs broker or other capable customs broker to handle clearance.

2: Customs declaration materials include: original bill of lading with endorsement/telex released copy, packing list, invoice, contract, small bill of lading.

3: Customs:

　　(1) Customs clearance time: Within one workday

　　(2) Special cargo: Two to three workdays

　　(3) Inspection: a, Technical inspection: Whether to inspect is decided based on the documents and the specific cargo; b, Random inspection: The customs clearance department releases the goods, and the computer randomly checks.

V. Handling of Equipment Delivery Note:

1: The freight forwarder goes to the container management department of the shipping company or shipping agent with the original bill of lading with endorsement (fax copy and letter of guarantee for telex released cargo) to handle the equipment handover note.

2: Equipment handover note: This is a voucher exchanged between the returner, transporter, and container manager or their agent for the import and export of containers and other mechanical equipment to and from the port area and yard, and it has the function of issuing container vouchers by the container manager. It is divided into two types: entry and exit, and the exchange procedures are handled at the entrance of the terminal yard.

Note: For LCL cargo (CFS delivery terms), present the notice from the import department of the shipping agent's business department to the container management department to pay the import document fee, and then you can collect the cargo at the dock directly with the "small bill of lading" and the consignment note, without needing to handle the equipment handover note.

VI. Container Collection:

1: The freight forwarder handles the deposit procedures for overdue container usage fees, unloading fees, import document fees, etc., at the container management department with the small bill of lading and the "container collection application" from the trucking company.

2: If the depositor is not the consignee indicated on the bill of lading, the depositor must provide a letter of guarantee (guarantee letter) agreeing to deposit for the consignee and pay the corresponding fees.

3: After the deposit is completed and authorized by the shipping agent's container management department, handle the container collection procedures at the import container release post, receive the container equipment handover note, and check if its contents are correct.

4: After the consignee unpacks the import cargo, the empty container is returned to the designated return location.

5: After the empty container is returned to the designated yard, the consignee should promptly handle the settlement of container fees at the container management department with the deposit voucher.

VII. Cargo Collection:

1: The freight forwarder or consignee contacts a trucking company with the small bill of lading to collect the cargo from the pier or yard designated by the shipping agent.

2: The depositor handles the container deposit settlement procedures at the container management department.

Note: For LCL cargo, it is necessary to sign for the LCL sub-bill of lading (consignment note) at the shipping company or shipping agent, and collect the cargo at the dock with the small bill of lading and consignment note when collecting the cargo.
