How to Pack Proper packaging is critical to ensure the protection of your parcel. We suggest the following tips when preparing your packages for shipping: 1. Use new rigid corrugated cartons. 2. Check the Gross Weight Limit on the bottom of the box and do not exceed.
3. Pack securely with each item wrapped separately with shipping foam, bubble wrap or other shipping material (2 inches between carton walls and goods inside). 4. Protect sharp and pointed objects with added shipping material. 5. Separate glass containers with corrugated dividers. 6. Ship boxes separately – do not bind together. 7. Secure the lids on liquid filled containers (seal liquid filled containers in plastic bags or packs to prevent spillage) and ensure safety caps on plastic bottles.

Bill of Lading (BOL) Requesting a Pallet Shipment Freight Quote 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Identify your company and your carrier account number Describe the shipment including number and dimensions of each pallet Confirm the total actual weight of the shipment Give pick up and destination addresses Request any special services Advise when the shipment will be ready to move Record date, quote number and price for your records Ensure that freight, fuel surcharge and any special service accessorial charges have been included
Waybill (Bill of Lading) Preparation Bill of Lading (BOL) is the document that establishes terms of contract between the shipper and the transportation company as well as a title deed which proves ownership of the goods mentioned. Please ensure that the following information is entered on each Bill of Lading: • # of pallets and number of cartons • Accurate weight (actual and dimensional weight and measurements) • Shipper (where is the product being picked up) plus contact information and dock hours • Consignee (where is the product being delivered) plus contact information and dock hours • Internal reference no. (example Sales Order number) rd • Who is paying for this shipment? 1) Prepaid (shipper pays) 2) Collect (consignee pays) 3) 3 party * • Product being transported (example books) • Purchase Order or reference number to identify the shipment to the consignee (e.g. for Costco always enter the PO #) • Deliver by date or delivery window requirement if any • Record Carrier Quote number or pick up reference (if applicable) • Record Type of service (if applicable) e.g. Regular intermodal service, Expedited service, Overnight, Air • Instructions for special services if required such as: delivery appt required, driver assist, tailgate delivery, etc. rd
rd
•If a shipment is being charged to a 3 party account, then it must say 3 party billing and list the name of the company to be billed as well as their carrier account number. Send a completed Bill of Lading to the pick up location (or review a copy of the bill to be used) to ensure that all information is correct.
Loading/Unloading and Bill of Lading Signatures Date and printed name should always accompany each signature. Pick up: The carrier driver and the pick up shipping staff are required to sign the Bill of Lading. The BOL is a receipt for consignment and the driver signature certifies receipt of goods mentioned in the BOL for transportation to the specified destination. Since the carrier driver rarely loads his own vehicle, the driver will often sign as SLC or Shipper’s Load and Count. The pick up shipper must be very careful to confirm that the shipment loaded matches the details on the Bill of Lading. Delivery: The delivery driver and the consignee receiver are required to sign the Bill of Lading. If the pallets are wrapped and the number of cartons cannot be verified at the time of receipt, please write “subject to count” before receiver signature. Please record any damage or shortage before receiver signature.

They are employed by customs or other brokerage establishments or may be self-employed. Customs brokers clear shipments of imported goods, prepare required Customs documentation of export shipments and collect duties and taxes owing to the Crown. They make it easier for individuals and firms to comply with complex government legislation since, for each transaction, critical business data must be generated from country of origin and destinations to suppliers, tariff classifications, routings and intended use. Traditionally, importers rely on customs brokers to pull that information together and clear the goods through Customs.
