What should I check before my container lands in the UK?
Short answer
Make sure your invoice, packing list and bill of lading match, your commodity codes are ready, haulage is booked, your delivery site is ready to unload, and you know how many days of free time you have before charges start.
The detail
Most port problems come from documents that don't match or from haulage booked too late.
Check whether you need a side-loader, and confirm your warehouse opening times with the haulier.
We run through this checklist on every import we handle.
