General Requirements |
“ALERTS” are of critical importance. If at all possible or when requested by customers, copies of HAWB or Ocean bill of lading must be faxed with alerts. |
| "Alertas" allow us to accomplish the following: |
-
Provide the required customer service by informing shipment status to consignees.
-
Verify (before shipments arrive at destination) that the shipping documents have been
properly completed, and that the rates sold at destination have been properly applied.
-
Expedite customs clearance
-
Minimize the time shipments remain at the "Airport or Port warehouses".
These warehouses are often expensive and cargo can be susceptible to pilferage and
damage.
