Business Background
The customer is a professional electrical equipment manufacturing enterprise in Jiangsu, with advanced technology and rich experience in the field of transformer production. The company has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with a large Polish power engineering company to supply transformers of different specifications to Poland on a regular basis. Considering the large size and heavy weight of the transformer, and the customer's high requirements for transportation cost and customs clearance convenience, after comprehensive evaluation, the transportation method of sea freight double clearance tax package sea card (sea freight + double customs clearance + tax package + truck distribution) was selected. With our professional ability and good reputation in cross-border logistics in Europe, our company undertook the transportation business of the company's transformer export to Poland.
Business processes
1. Inquiry and quotation: The manufacturer consults our company for the transformer transportation plan, and provides the detailed parameters of the transformer, including the model, size (length X width X height), weight, quantity, material and other information, as well as the estimated delivery time and delivery address in Poland. Based on this information, combined with the current shipping market price, customs clearance costs at the port of destination, and local transportation costs in Poland, our company formulates a detailed sea truck transportation plan for customers and gives accurate quotations.
2. Booking and loading: After the customer confirms the transportation plan and quotation, our company will immediately reserve a suitable shipping space. At the same time, according to the production progress and estimated delivery time of the goods, the customer arranges logistics transportation to our Guangdong warehouse. When the goods arrive at the warehouse, carefully check whether the packaging of the transformer is in good condition, hand over the list of goods with the factory, and check the information of the goods.
3. Cargo packing and reinforcement: select the appropriate container for packing according to the size and weight of the transformer in the warehouse. Since the transformer is a precision equipment, in order to prevent collision and vibration damage during transportation, professional packaging materials and reinforcement measures are adopted. For example, lay a cushion at the bottom of the container, and use ropes, steel belts, etc. to tie and strengthen the transformer in multiple layers to ensure that the goods are stable and immovable during transportation.
4. Customs declaration and customs clearance: Our customs declaration team prepares the documents required for export declaration, including commercial invoices, packing lists, contracts, customs declaration power of attorney, product quality inspection certificates, etc. Declare the export to the China Customs, and release it after the customs has passed the review. Before the goods arrive at the Polish port, our customs clearance agent in Poland prepares the documents required for customs clearance in advance, such as certificate of origin, EU CE certification (if required for the product), commercial invoice, packing list, etc., and electronically declares them to the Polish customs. Polish customs will review the declaration information and may inspect the goods. Our customs clearance agents maintain close communication with the customs to ensure smooth customs clearance.
5. Sea transportation: After the goods are loaded, the ship sails to the Polish port according to the predetermined route. In the process of transportation, our company monitors the transportation status of the goods in real time through the tracking system provided by the shipping company, and timely feeds back the ship's location, estimated arrival time and other information to customers.
6. Pick-up and truck distribution at the port of destination: After the goods arrive at the port in Poland, our customs clearance agent completes the customs clearance procedures and arranges professional trucks to pick up the goods at the port. The truck driver delivers the transformer safely and on time to its destination in Poland according to the delivery address provided by the customer. When the goods are delivered, the goods are accepted with the consignee to ensure that the goods are not damaged and the quantity is accurate.
Core documents
1. Commercial invoice: describe in detail the name, specification, quantity, unit price, total price and other information of the goods.
2. Packing list: explain the packaging of the goods, the size and weight of each package, and other details.
3. Ocean bill of lading: as proof of ownership of goods and proof of transportation contract.
4. Certificate of Origin: Certify the country of origin of the goods, so that the consignee can enjoy the corresponding preferential tariff policies.

Precautions
1. Cargo packaging and reinforcement: transformers are valuable and delicate equipment, and packaging and reinforcement work is crucial. When packing, use high-quality packaging materials to ensure that the goods are not damaged during transportation. Reinforcement measures should be firm and reliable to prevent the displacement and collision of goods in the container. Before packing, the packaging and reinforcement are strictly inspected, and if there is any problem, it is rectified in time.

3. Customs clearance policy at the port of destination: The customs clearance policies and regulations of the Polish customs may change, so it is necessary to keep abreast of the new policy requirements before shipping. For example, Poland may have special safety standards and certification requirements for certain electrical equipment, and it is important to ensure that transformers meet these requirements to avoid delays or detention due to customs clearance issues. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain close communication with the customs clearance agent in Poland, provide the documents and information required for customs clearance in a timely manner, and assist the customs clearance agent to successfully complete the customs clearance procedures.
4. Transportation insurance: Considering that the value of the transformer is high and there are certain risks in the transportation process, such as marine transportation risks, port operation risks, truck transportation risks, etc., it is recommended that customers purchase freight insurance. Choose a reputable insurance company and determine the appropriate amount and coverage based on the value of the goods and the route of transportation. When applying for insurance, it is necessary to truthfully inform the insurance company of the situation of the goods to avoid claims disputes caused by concealment of information.
5. Transportation time and delivery time: The transportation time of sea truck is relatively long, and the transportation time should be reasonably arranged to ensure that the goods can be delivered to the consignee on time.
