Consolidation of cargo is one of the most common and cost-effective solutions in international transport logistics. This approach allows for a significant reduction in transportation costs by combining several small shipments from different senders into a single consolidated cargo. It is an ideal solution for businesses that do not require large-scale product transportation but still need regular overseas shipments.
Consolidated cargo offers an opportunity to optimize delivery costs and reduce transportation-related risks thanks to a professional approach to organizing logistics processes.
Step-by-Step Delivery of Consolidated Cargo - Overview of Imex Solutions
International cargo transportation is quite a complex process that includes several important stages. Each of these stages requires careful planning to ensure timely and safe delivery of the cargo to its destination.
- At the initial stage, the client submits a transportation request, after which a batch of cargo for consolidation is formed.
- Goods from different senders are gathered at a consolidation warehouse, where they are sorted and grouped according to the delivery route.
- The next stage involves processing and labeling the cargo, including applying special markings and labels necessary for safe transportation.
- After labeling and packaging, the transportation route is planned, taking into account the most efficient logistics solutions. Simultaneously, a complete set of accompanying documents is prepared.
- The cargo is loaded onto a transport vehicle following established safety standards and dispatched along the route.
- A crucial stage is crossing the border and customs clearance of the cargo, which includes filling out declarations and paying customs duties.
- After crossing the border, the cargo is delivered to a temporary storage warehouse or consolidation warehouse, where it undergoes further sorting and processing.
- Then, the cargo is delivered to the final recipient's warehouse or directly to the customer's physical address.
- The final stage is the handover of the cargo to the customer.
Thanks to Imex Solutions' services, all stages of consolidated cargo delivery are completed as quickly and smoothly as possible for the customer.
Key Details and Features of Cargo Consolidation
Consolidated cargo transportation involves combining several batches of goods from different senders into one consolidated shipment for further transportation. This approach reduces delivery costs and ensures the safety of the goods.
Cargo consolidation has several key features:
All consolidated cargo is insured as standard. This ensures protection of the goods against potential risks during transportation.- Consolidated cargo is classified by weight. There are several categories: light (up to 80 kg), standard (up to 500 kg), and heavy (over 500 kg). It is important to correctly determine the cargo category for optimal space allocation and to ensure its safety.
- Sometimes, the concept of "volumetric weight" is used instead of the actual weight of the shipment. This allows for a more accurate calculation of transportation costs, considering the cargo's volume.
- Cargo groups are combined based on the specific characteristics of the goods. For example, heavy items cannot be combined with fragile items such as electronics or delicate products.
