Make your freight forwarder part of the purchasing process

Save time and money by giving your freight forwarder a copy of your Purchase Order as early as possible.  With that single step, your forwarder can:

  • Provide input on the best routing to expedite your order and cut transit times.
  • Follow up and make you aware of any complications or delays.
  • Ensure equipment and space are available, and in the process avoid delays or having to employ other options to meet delivery requirements.

Quick Tip #14
Don’t just insure the value of the goods

When insuring your freight, you are fully entitled to value your goods at a price above the base cost. Valuation of goods may include all freight charges, related costs, plus 10% (or more) to cover the administrative burden of processing a claim and to cover the insured’s profit. Since duty is still payable on damaged goods, make sure you insure the amount of duty as well.
