In supply chain, making a quotation for a shipping job is a function of the role to be played, that which is to be quoted for. Therefore, what role does the importer want you to play as a Customs House Broker? Also, what is the contract for the shipping? Furthermore, are we talking about an Ex Works or a DAP kind of shipping terms for instance?
SUPPLY CHAIN: PURPOSE OF ARTICLE
This article will present a sample quotation for a cargo handling job for an ex work arrangement. In this example, the importer has said to the Agent; ‘hey’ look I am busy with other important matters. Of course, what the importer wants is cargo delivery at his warehouse. Further, the importer has allowed the Clearance Agent to take full charge of cargo from the supplier’s warehouse. However, the Agent lives in Nigeria and has no local presence at the origin of cargo or country of supply. Hence, this means that the Cargo Clearance Agent would have to arrange for a freight Forwarder. Consequently, the Forwarder care of all export haulage, and export handling and clearance.

Wooding packing restrictions in international shipping, also known as ISPM 15 rules, apply to shipping of international ocean freight. ISPM 15 rules relate to prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases throughout the world, when shipping international ocean freight using packing materials and supply containing wood. These international shipping regulations are subject to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC – https://www.ippc.int/). ISPM 15 rules apply to international shipping of ocean freight that contains wood-packaging material: wooden pallets, wooden crates, drums, wood cases etc. ISPM 15 requires that all international ocean freight shipments using any species of raw wood packaging must be fumigated or heat treated, prior the international shipping, to kill insects or fungus. All wood-packing materials used in international shipping must be stamped with the approved by IPPC stamp, prior the international shipping. International ocean freight shipments that contain wood-packing materials will be checked in respect of compliance with the ISPM 15 regulations before to be allowed to enter to or crossing through a participating to IPPC country.
