The shipment pre-check process is a structured sequence of verification steps carried out on a consignment immediately before loading. It typically covers freight documents and customs declarations for completeness and accuracy, packaging for integrity and transport safety, and markings for correct weight, addressing, and hazardous goods classification. Each step is documented so that discrepancies can be traced and corrected before the goods leave the facility. The exact sequence varies depending on the mode of transport, destination country, and applicable industry standards.
