The vast majority of import and export goods in China's traditional B2B foreign trade industry are traded through international sea freight. In recent years, with the booming development of China's cross-border e-commerce export industry, many sellers have also begun to choose to use international sea freight to transport their goods overseas. This has to some extent promoted the development of China's international maritime transportation business, and many international maritime logistics companies have gradually emerged in China.

What should be paid attention to in international sea transportation

1. LCL by sea is cleared by bill of lading, and the required information varies for different products. This can be confirmed with the importer. Usually, the export of live products requires CE certification. Booking requires the provision of a booking form, packing list, and invoice. If the customer has customs declaration information, they need to provide the product name and customs code.

2. It is best to palletize heavy goods. Fragile items should be packed in wooden boxes, and liquid goods should also be packed in wooden boxes to prevent leakage.

3. Some dangerous goods cannot be mixed together.
