Accurately measure all dimensions (length, width, height) of each truss section and packaging. Use a measuring tape and record in metric units (cm). For irregular shapes, break down into smaller, measurable sections. Use software for volume and weight calculations.
Material choice depends on the truss type.
Use bubble wrap, foam padding, corrugated cardboard, and edge protectors to cushion trussing.
Use straps, bracing (plywood), and corner protection to prevent shifting.
Clear, waterproof labels on each package: contents, weight, dimensions, destination, and contact information. Multiple labels and barcodes for tracking.
Securely palletise components for easier handling. Use appropriate pallet size and wrapping (shrink wrap or stretch film).
Accurate HS code is vital for smooth customs clearance. Incorrect classification can lead to delays and penalties. Shipping International can provide expert advice if needed.
Consider road or rail transport for inland movement, depending on shipment size, location, and cost-effectiveness.
Protect your shipment with appropriate cargo insurance.
Use tracking numbers and online portals provided by your carrier.
Ensure compliance with post-Brexit regulations (customs declarations, documentation).
Choose a suitable port based on proximity, handling capabilities, and potential delays.
Inspect upon arrival. File a claim with the carrier and your insurer, providing photographic evidence.
Contact your carrier for updates. Have contingency plans in place.
Ensure accurate documentation. Contact a customs broker for assistance.
