Industrial parts shipping and documentation planning

What to confirm before domestic freight or international delivery is released for an industrial equipment order.

01

Match the transport method to the item

Parcel, expedited air and freight services have different limits and handling risks. Confirm packed dimensions, weight, value, urgency and any hazardous or controlled characteristics before selecting the route.

Working checklist
  • Packed dimensions and gross weight
  • Fragile, static-sensitive or orientation requirements
  • Hazardous material or battery status
  • Declared value and insurance instruction
  • Delivery appointment or dock restrictions
02

Define international responsibilities

For cross-border shipments, the quotation should identify the agreed Incoterm, exporter and importer responsibilities, classification information and documents included.

Working checklist
  • Ship-to legal name and complete destination
  • Agreed Incoterm and named place
  • Importer of record
  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Country-of-origin or conformity documents when applicable

Put the checklist to work

Send the exact reference or complete BOM.
