Shipping, Packing and Trade Documents for Heavy Parts
Share
Heavy parts are lost on paperwork more often than on price: the wrong chargeable weight, a missing ISF filing, a packing list that does not match the invoice, a letter of credit with a discrepancy. This page covers packing, freight decisions and the documents that have to agree with each other before cargo moves.
