New to exporting - now what?

You have sold goods to your customer and are intending to export or re-export this shipment using air transport. 4 easy steps will ensure that everything will work smoothly, from your first shipment onwards!

 

1. Sell goods to your customer

You sell goods to your customer. You agree on the price of the product and on delivery terms. It is useful to look in detail at standardized delivery terms in terms of transport, so-called Incoterms. In this way you will prevent surprises with regard to who is paying for what in the logistics chain, and where risks are being transferred.

 

You decide you want to send the goods to your customer by air transport.

 

2. Prepare the shipment

The next step is preparing the shipment for transport and drawing up documents.

 

Always use decent packaging for sending goods. If the packaging is not suitable for transport, then you will have to repackage the goods or place them in suitable outer packaging.

 

It is just as important to enclose the right documentation. At the very least a commercial invoice needs to be enclosed with the shipment. Depending on the goods contained in the shipment, the following documents will also need to be prepared:

  • Certificate of Origin
  • EUR-1 certificate
  • Health certificate
  • Phytosanitary certificate

 

3. Become one of J. van de Put's customers
