Confirm specs, shipment window and delivery terms in the sales contract. Book storage (bonded or non‑bonded) near port with sampling and moisture check on arrival. Secure freight: match laycan to cargo readiness and build in weather buffer. Line up inspection (weight/quality) and pre‑advise surveyors with your spec sheet. Prepare documents in parallel (invoice, packing list, BL draft, certificate of origin, phytosanitary). Align banking instructions (beneficiary, LC terms, presentation period). During loading, record time‑sheets and sampling notes; after sailing, finalize documents and dispatch originals swiftly. A one‑page checklist prevents most delays and disputes.
