Shipper: a person/company dealing with shipment at supplier end.

Freight Forwarder: the logistics provider (for road, ship or air transportation).
Shipping Line: company carrying product related cargo.
Step 1. Export haulage:

The first step involves the movement of the products’ cargo from shipper’s to forwarder’s premises. Products usually get transported by road or railways or a combination of both.

Step 2. Export customs clearance:

It is a type of official regulatory formality involving submission of valid and required documents to the concerned authorities.

Step 3. Origin handling:

This step covers all physical handling, inspection, and loading of the cargo; at the supplier End’s warehouse. This is coordinated by the freight forwarder.

Step 4. Ocean freight:

To meet the required timeline for shipments, freight forwarder schedules shipping line for transportation. This step not only covers costs involved in shipping from port-to-port but also the levied surcharges like currency adjustment factor, exchange rates, etc.

Step 6. Destination handling:

This involves transportation and unloading of cargo from port to destination warehouse.

Step 7. Import haulage:

The final step of actual delivery of the product to the consignee and ultimately to the consumer.
