How to avoid the risk of double clear to the door?

Jun 11, 2024|View:13

"Double clear to the door" is one of the products promoted by many freight forwarding companies, which can provide convenience for cargo owners and have a good profit for freight forwarding. In the general understanding, "double clear to the door" is to sign a contract with the freight agent, the goods to the freight agent after all the affairs are responsible for by the freight agent, peace of mind waiting for the goods to be sent to the door can, but the actual situation is far more complex.

To discuss the risk of LLB transportation, we first need to set a premise that "double clearance to door transportation" is not the normal situation in the industry. Suppliers who export "sensitive" goods prefer shuangqing to the door. The supplier understands the risk of this shipment, and the forwarder naturally understands the risk of this shipment, but everyone is taking chances.

One of the important reasons is that the goods arriving at the door through double clearance are usually transported in LCL. In order to smoothly pass the customs for "sensitive" goods with high freight, some forwarders may load sensitive goods first before loading normal goods. At this time, if the container is investigated by the customs, the normal goods in the cabinet will also be "sitting together".

How to avoid the risk of double clear to the door?

Start from the choice, choose reliable partners

First of all, a comprehensive credit investigation of the freight forwarder company before cooperation can help the owner screen out a batch of "unreliable at a glance" companies. For example, if a new freight forwarding company has been the defendant in several freight forwarding contract disputes in the past year, would you still work with him?

Secondly, when choosing a freight forwarding company, you must not be attracted by unreasonably low prices. In the case of relatively stable market conditions, low prices are the spokesman for risk. Because the pie and the trap often go hand in hand.

Finally, in view of the double clear to the door transportation mode, the goods mainly get rid of the idea of "all problems to the freight forwarder". Even if the contract is perfectly signed, you need evidence to support your claim if something goes wrong. Before handing over the goods to the forwarder, the owner must do the following things:

1. Keep a close eye on the shipment of goods and require the freight forwarder to provide complete information of carriers and containers;

2. Keep delivery documents of goods and truthfully declare the value of goods;

3. Regularly follow up the transportation of goods and keep the transportation records provided by the forwarder.
