Definition & Explanation
A shipping procedure governs the operational day-to-day handling and dispatch of shipments. It encompasses every step from goods receipt through packaging, addressing, and labeling, to carrier selection, preparation of shipping documents, and handover for transport. Forwarding companies document quality checks and tracking within the procedure to ensure traceability and accountability. For international shipments, the procedure also includes preparation of customs documents such as the commercial invoice and, where applicable, customs declarations.
