Case Study
Capital Engineering and Research Incorporation Limited
Rockwood International Logistics Co., Ltd signed a contract with Capital Engineering and Research Inc. Limited in 2007 to provide logistics service for its export machine, pickling line for code rolling, to Nigeria. In early March this year, Rockwood was appointed its clerk to provide in-house service by working together with the customer.
Through the researches in spot, Rockwood has think out the whole logistics solution, including package, fumigation, watch for the cargo readiness process, inland transport, courtyard arrangement, container plan, encasement, HS code selection, documents check, customer clearance, etc. and keep in touch with other involved logistics providers, taken measures to solve all kinds of problems.
As a state-owned enterprise, Capital Engineering and Research Inc. Limited have many departments involved. At the early stage, our clerk joined its many inner meetings to answer various logistics doubts and questions, which were summarized to get ready for the whole solution.
The export machine is composed of hundreds of category and nearly five hundred of parts. It's quite a hard work to select the right HS code and consolidate all parts. With the requirement of the contract on HS code in mind, Rockwood has consulted several times from Customs and got it done. The Tianjin Customs provided two HS codes for all parts. The following operation will be instructed under these two codes. Later, we chose suitable container category, accounted the parts number of each container, arranged each container one by one; what's more, several suppliers are involved since there are such a number of parts. We went to every factory to check cargo packages, making the picking-up plan accordingly. We kept in touch with the suppliers about the cargo's readiness, the package, and the fumigation. When the cargo is ready, we went to monitor and coordinate the picking-up in spot. However, such huge quantity of cargo needs container vessel and break-bulk liner. The package of break-bulk cargo is so big-sized and heavy that we faced lots of difficulty in the process. According to the ship booking information, we had to arrange much haulage in very short time to keep the picking process smooth.
The consignee's country Nigeria has strict customs rules on its import certificates, such as original certificate, fumigation certificate of wooden package, the beneficiary’s statement, which are rare in normal international trade, under the Letter of Credit. But the customer and the suppliers are not quite familiar with both countries' customs rules and those certificates. Our clerk kept patient to explain the relative rules and checked all documents prepared.
The confirmation speed is slow, and the reply is always delayed since the customer's big size and strict inner rules, which Increases the risk to control the operation process. On one hand, we keep following and monitoring each procedure strictly, on the other hand, we make sure the smoothness of the whole logistics chain, keep coordinating each party actively and following up strictly accordingly to the timetable.
In the very late period, the error of shipping line disturbed our plan. In order to solve the problem, we abandoned the former plan and took the emergency measures. As a result, we transported the cargo to the port in time and cached up with the shipping departure plan.
In the whole process, we have faced many difficulties. But our strict monitor to each procedure, careful check of every documents and efficient control of time as well as cost, promised the success of the solution. Rockwood's professional, high-quality, efficient work and careful, patient, responsible attitude win the trust and reputation from the customer.
