First, the business background
The recipient created a large, illuminated signboard for "Northeast Paint + Panel", a Canadian supplier of building and renovation materials. Due to the large size and precision of the signboard, safety and integrity during transportation became a key challenge, requiring professional international logistics services to ensure smooth transportation.

Second, the business process
(1) Determination of the logistics plan
After our company's comprehensive evaluation of comprehensive factors such as cargo safety, transportation cost, transportation timeliness, etc., we finally chose the transportation mode of sea freight and truck delivery.

(2) Packaging and marking
To protect the sign from damage during transport, the luminescent lettering is fully wrapped in a soft cushioning material such as pearl cotton, and then secured in a custom-made wooden frame filled with foam panels to ensure stability. At the same time, paste warning signs such as "fragile products" and "handle with care" in a conspicuous position outside the package, and mark the size, weight and other information of the goods.

(3) Customs declaration and document preparation
We assist suppliers in preparing customs declaration documents, including detailed commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, etc. Due to the electronic light-emitting components involved in the signboard, the relevant product certification documents are prepared as required to ensure the smooth customs declaration.

(4) Transportation and tracking
During the transportation period, our company uses the logistics tracking system to feedback the location and transportation status of the goods to the supplier and the consignee in real time, so that they can keep abreast of the movement of the goods.

(5) Customs clearance and distribution at the port of destination
After the goods arrive at the Canadian port, our local agent is responsible for customs clearance, customs duties and other related fees. After the customs clearance is completed, a professional transport vehicle will be arranged to safely deliver the signboard to the customer's designated location, and assist the customer to complete the acceptance work.

3. Precautions
Packaging
Choose the right packaging materials and methods according to the characteristics of the signboard to ensure that the packaging can withstand the bumps and extrusions during transportation. At the same time, it is necessary to fully consider factors such as moisture-proof and shock-proof.
Document preparation
Understand the import policies and relevant certification requirements of the destination country in advance to ensure that the customs declaration and customs clearance documents are accurate and complete, so as to avoid the detention of goods due to document problems.
Shipping insurance
In view of the value of the illuminated signboard and the transportation risk, it is important to purchase transportation insurance with sufficient coverage to reduce the economic loss caused by the damage or loss of the goods in transit.

4. Required documents
1. Commercial invoice: contains details such as the name of the goods, specifications, quantity, unit price, and total price.
2. Packing list: Explain the packaging form, size, weight distribution of the goods, etc.
3. Certificate of Origin: Certifies the country of origin of the goods and is used to enjoy the preferential policies of relevant trade agreements.
4. Product certification documents: such as safety certification of electroluminescent components and other related documents.
5. Power of attorney for customs declaration: a written document that entrusts a logistics provider or customs broker to handle customs declaration procedures.

Fifth, experience summary
Choosing an experienced and reliable international logistics partner is the key to successful transportation, with the expertise to deal effectively with complex issues. Putting enough effort into packaging and documentation, as well as planning and checking in advance, can reduce friction during shipping. At the same time, maintain close communication with logistics providers and customers, and be able to deal with emergencies in a timely manner to ensure the smooth delivery of goods.
