Your import route / 02

Give the forwarder a cargo brief, not a guess.

Keep the route enquiry next to the product brief. Send the same description to the supplier and forwarder so their answers refer to the same cargo.

Under research, not yet verified · Ask your forwarder which dangerous-goods rules and HS code apply to your cargo.

What to put in the enquiry

  • Material and form: coconut shell charcoal in lumps, or shaped coconut charcoal briquettes.
  • Intended use and the composition details you can obtain from the supplier.
  • Country, destination port and the party handling arrival.
  • Proposed packing, planned order quantity and any unresolved document request.

Keep a record of the answer

Ask for a written reply against your cargo description. Save the date, the person replying and any assumptions they used. If the product or route changes, send the revised brief back for review.

Leave unresolved fields open

Write “to be confirmed” where the answer has not arrived. Do not copy an identifier or cargo description from a different supplier’s shipment into your own file.
