The consignor shall be responsible for the correctness and completeness of the contents filled in the consignment note and the documents provided related to the transportation.

When collecting international goods, the agent of e-commerce logistics company should complete the following procedures carefully:

Goods content: Understand whether the goods entrusted by the consignor belong to the goods transported under specific conditions, especially whether the goods transported contain dangerous goods. If it belongs to or contains dangerous goods, it should be handled according to the relevant agreements between the carrier and the agent, and the relevant regulations of the International Air Transport Association for dangerous goods.

If there is no airport at the destination, the consignor can be advised to change the arrival station of the goods to a common point of call closer to the destination Z, but the consignee column must still indicate the destination of the goods.

Packaging and volume of goods: When collecting goods, the agent should check the packaging of air express freight shipping goods and the size of the goods.

For connecting goods, the aircraft type used at the transfer airport should be considered.
