1. When FCL fits

FCL works well for stable volume, high-density cargo, or shipments that benefit from less cargo handling. Load planning should consider weight as well as cube.

2. Booking and cutoffs

Confirm sailing, equipment, documentation cutoff, terminal cutoff, and container-release timing before arranging factory loading.

3. Loading and export clearance

Use a loading plan, verify container condition, record seal numbers, and keep invoice, packing list, and declaration data consistent.

4. Destination delivery

Track customs release, terminal availability, free time, truck appointment, unloading, and empty return as one continuous sequence.
