D: According to the mode of trade, the aforementioned documents or other necessary documents shall be submitted to the forwarder or customs broker entrusted with customs declaration for processing.

3: Looking for freight forwarder: The shipper can choose the freight forwarder freely, but should choose the suitable agent company from the aspects of freight rate, service, freight forwarder strength and after-sales service.

4: Inquiry: To negotiate the freight rates with the selected freight forwarding companies, the air transport price level is divided into:

MN+45+100+300+500+1000

Because of the different services each airline has, the freight rates to freight forwarders are also different. Generally speaking, the higher the weight level, the more preferential the price.

2. Freight Forwarders

1: Power of attorney: After the consignor and freight forwarder determine the transport price and service conditions, the freight forwarder will give the consignor a blank "BOOKING for consignment of goods". The consignor will fill in the letter of attorney truthfully, and EMAIL or return it to the freight forwarder.

2: Commodity Inspection: The freight forwarder will check whether the content of the power of attorney is complete (incomplete or non-standard to supplement), understand whether the goods need to be inspected, and assist in handling the goods that need to be inspected.

3: Booking: According to the consignor's "letter of attorney", the freight forwarder booked the cabin to the airline (or the airline can be designated by the consignor). At the same time, the freight forwarder confirmed the flight and related information to the customer.

4: pick up the goods

A: Delivery from the shipper: The freight forwarder shall give the cargo gate entry slip and warehousing plan to the shipper, indicating the main airline number, telephone number, delivery address, time, etc. In order to get the goods into warehouse in time and accurately.

B: Freight forwarder receiving goods: The consignor should provide the freight forwarder with specific receiving address, contact person, telephone, time and other relevant information to ensure that the goods are put into warehouse in time.

5: Settlement of transportation expenses: Both parties should decide when they have not received the goods:

Prepaid: Local Payment Payment: Customer Payment at Destination Port

6: Transport modes: direct, air-to-air, sea-to-air, land-to-air.

7: Freight composition: air freight (subject to freight negotiation between freight forwarder and consignor), bill of lading, customs clearance, documentation fee, fuel surcharge and war risk (subject to airline charges), ground handling fee of freight station, and other miscellaneous charges that may arise from different cargo.

III: Airport/Airline Terminal

1. tallying: When the goods are delivered to the relevant terminals, the freight forwarder will make the main label and sub-label according to the airline's waybill number and stick them on the cargo so as to facilitate the identification of cargo owners, freight forwarders, terminals, customs, airlines, commodity inspection and consignees at the port of departure and destination.

2. Weighing: Deliver the labeled goods to the terminal for safety inspection, weighing, and measuring the size of the goods to calculate the volume weight. After that, the terminal writes the actual weight and volume weight of the whole goods into the "gate entry and weighing list", stamps the "security inspection stamp", "receivable shipping stamp" and signature confirmation.

3. Billing: The freight forwarder will put all the cargo data into the airline's bill of lading according to the "weighing list" of the terminal.

4. Special handling: Because of the importance and danger of the cargo and the limitation of shipment (such as oversize, overweight, etc.), the cargo terminal will require the representative of the carrier to examine and sign the instructions before entering the warehouse.

Four: Commodity Inspection

1: Documents: The consignor must issue a list, invoice, contract and power of attorney for inspection (provided by the customs broker or freight forwarder).

2: Appoint inspection time to commodity inspection.

3: Inspection: The Commodity Inspection Bureau will take samples of the goods or make on-site evaluation and make conclusions.

4: Release: After passing the inspection, the Inspection Bureau will make the certification on the Letter of Entrustment for Inspection.

5: Commodity Inspection carries on the corresponding operation according to the "commodity code" supervision conditions of all kinds of goods.

V: Customs clearance

1: Receiving and delivering bills: Customers can choose the customs broker by themselves or entrust the freight forwarding company to declare, but in any case, all the customs declaration materials prepared by the shipper, together with the "weighing list" of the cargo terminal, should be submitted to the customs broker in time to facilitate timely declaration, early customs clearance and transportation of goods.

2: Pre-entry: According to the above documents, customs brokers will sort out and improve all customs declaration documents, input data into the customs system, and conduct pre-audit.

3: Declaration: After the adoption of the preliminary record, formal declaration procedures can be carried out and all documents submitted to the Customs for examination.

4: Delivery time: According to flight time: cargo documents that need to be cleared at noon should be handed over to the customs broker by 10:00 at the latest; cargo documents that need to be cleared in the afternoon should be handed over to the customs broker by 15:00 at the latest. Otherwise, it will aggravate the burden of customs declaration speed, and may also result in goods not being able to enter the expected flights.

Six: Customs

1: Examination form: Customs will examine the goods and documents according to the customs declaration information.

2: Inspection: random inspection or self-inspection by freight forwarders (at their own risk).

3: Taxation: Customs collects taxes according to the categories of goods and according to the provisions of national laws (for the purpose of tax refund by the shipper after the export of goods). At present (for further deepening the paperless reform of customs clearance operation, reducing the circulation of paper documents and lightening the burden of enterprises), with the consent of the State Administration of Taxation, the General Administration of Customs decides to export goods after May 1, 2015 (including) by sea. Customs will no longer issue paper certification forms for export goods (for export tax rebate only), and at the same time stop transmitting relevant electronic data of certification forms for export goods (for export tax rebate only) to the State Administration of Taxation. Instead, the General Administration of Customs will transmit electronic data of customs clearance information for export declarations to the State Administration of Taxation.

4: Release: After the above formalities are completed, the customs will release the goods, stamp the relevant documents with the customs release stamp, and hand it to the relevant customs brokers.

Seven: Airlines

1: Volume arrangement: The airline will arrange the loading list according to the size and weight of the goods that have been released by the Customs, and deliver the goods to the terminal for packing or pre-allocation.

2: Loading: After the goods are packed or pre-allocated, the loading work is carried out, and according to the loading manifest, the transshipment port and the destination port are notified, so as to facilitate the smooth transit and arrival of the goods.

3: Volume of goods = length (cm)x width (cm)x height (cm)1000000 = cubic meters x total number of goods
Volume weight = cargo volume (cubic metre)x 167kg x total cargo number
Actual weight = physical weight of goods after weighing
The billed weight is the weight used to calculate the transportation cost when compared with the actual weight.
Heavy cargo: the actual weight of the cargo is greater than the bulk weight
Shipping: The actual weight of the goods is less than the bulk weight.

Airlines will collect freight charges from freight forwarders according to the charging weight, freight forwarders will also collect freight charges from customers according to the charging weight, and freight stations will also collect ground handling fees from freight forwarders according to the charging weight.
Cargo pulling situation:

1. Due to excessive baggage of passengers, cargo space is insufficient, resulting in the temporary pull down of cargo already loaded.
   2. Because the customs investigation department has doubts about a ticket, the goods can not be transported.
   3. Because of the climate, the aircraft needs to temporarily increase the fuel load, which leads to the overload of takeoff and landing weight, and leads to the pull down of cargo and the control of load.
   4. The airlines or freight forwarders and the cargo mainly demand to be out of service due to commercial or other reasons, resulting in pulling cargo.
   

2. VIII: Destination Port
   1: Direct port of destination: the consignee on the air waybill will clear the customs and collect the goods.
   2: Non-direct destination port: the airline will be responsible for transshipment, the goods will be delivered to the final destination port, and then the consignee shown on the waybill will clear the customs and collect the goods.
