The importer/clearance broker needs to apply for preferential duty by providing all necessary paperwork.

How the FTA impacts documentation

Case study:

Importer said to winery:“If you can’t get the docs right first time, we will stop buying product from you.” 

Don’t treat it as one country. Documentation requirements can vary from port to port and also from agent to agent.

Under the FTA, how you cope with shipping uncertainties?

Uncertainty is an inherent feature of the shipping industry. The challenge is how you handle this uncertainty.

Case Study:We booked a direct vessel to Ningbo, but the shipping line changed schedules as the vessel was phasing out and containers got transshipped over Hong Kong.
