Process Behind Shipping from Korea To Singapore

The business owners need to be in contact with the freight forwarder in order to have an efficient shipping of goods from one part of the world to the other. This includes a number of steps:

  • Step 1

    Trucking services start with their first job of picking the goods from the factory and ensuring high-security seal on them. The customs officers do the inspection in storage centers and then pass the same to the next stage, after approving every cargo container.

  • Step 2

    Legal documents are approved by both the importer and exporter. These documents contain valid information about the shipping countries involved, goods to be transported and the quality involved.

  • Step 3

    The container of goods (can be either less than container load, LCL, or full container load, FCL) is loaded on a ship which makes its way to the port of Singapore.

  • Step 4

    The captain of the ship sends prior information to the government of Singapore, stating the cargo, type of vessel and crew that is on shipping journey.

  • Step 5

    As the approval is received by the Captain, the cargo containers are unloaded at the port of Singapore.

  • Step 6

    The customs officials check and monitor the goods as per the information mentioned in the documents.

  • Step 7

    At the final stage, the container is loaded on a truck from where the cargo reaches the distribution management. After the opening of the container, the goods are distributed to respective shops.
