Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders and shippers conduct outbound logistics control to inspect, document, and release shipments prior to dispatch. It ensures that parcels, weights, documentation, and labeling comply with customer requirements and legal standards (e.g., hazardous goods regulations, customs declarations). The control typically includes visual inspection, verification against shipping papers, and registration in the shipment management system. Rigorous outbound logistics control prevents delays, claims, and customs violations.
