    Are you interested in freight forwarding services? Or, are you related to or work as a Shipper’s directory for freight brokers? Or, even if you are curious enough about freight forwarding services, there are certainly important and functional terms regarding this field that you must know about. So, we have the following discussion with all the important and influential terms in the freight forwarder services, follow the given discussion and fill yourself with all the essential and necessary information below. 

    Freight Forwarder Services.

    Air Waybill 

    The first term is the Air Waybill. Simply put, it is the receipt for the goods transported by the Air Freight Forwarders. It is the carrier-issue receipt and the documentation for goods transported to different places via the pony services. The air waybill can not be negotiated, and this is where the difference lies between an air waybill and a bill of lading. 

    Thus, it means that the air waybill does not represent any value or title of the underlying goods and commodities. The constituents of an air waybill generally include 11-digits in three parts, a 6-digit airline code, a 7-digit of serial number and a check digit. The check digit is the reminder that we get by dividing the serial number by 7. 

    Bill of Lading 

    As you can read above, we have mentioned the term “Bill of Lading” in our first point. So, you might wonder what that is in the services for Shipping Directory. So, it becomes the next important term for us to discuss now. The Bill of Lading is the document that provides all the necessary details of the contents of the shipments. 

    The details include information such as the origin, destination, title of the commodities and the like. The carriers generate the Bill of Lading. Most importantly, the Bill of Lading is the most vital documentation for international trade, as it can enable the transfer of the title to the recipient after the successful delivery of the required commodities, freights or goods. 

    Automated Export System (AES)

    As you can possibly figure out from the name of the term, the automated export system is technical and computerised. The United States government primarily asks or requires exporters to declare all international shipment services via the automated export system. The data that this system obtains is known as the Electronic Export Information, abbreviated as the EEI. 

    This data is further collected and used by the Census Bureau and the rest of the governmental agencies to look after the aspects and matters of import and export. It is vital to abide by the regulations of the automated export system. Beyond a certain amount or value of shipments, the company or the services is mandated to register in the automated export system positively. 

    Drayage 

    What is the one aspect that is the most crucial and influential in the field of Freight Directory? Well, it is the distance or the location of the origin and the destination location between which the carriage of the freight has to take place. You will come across various terminologies in this field based on location and distance. One of the many such terms is the drayage. Let us know what the drainage is. 

    The movement or carrying of freight, commodities or goods between places having a very short distance is known as drayage. Thus, when simply put, we can explain drainage as the movement of the freight over a very short distance between the origin and the destined location. This is generally most commonly used when the movement or caring of the freight occurs from a ship to a warehouse or between terminals that are situated close to one another. 

    NVOCC

    The NVOCC stands for Non-Vessel-Owning Common Carrier. It might seem a complicated term, but it is a very prevalent term in the field of freight forwarding services. It is  to refer to the companies that carry out freight but on common carriers. The NVOCC can integrate an accretion percentage of profit on their rates. 

    Here lies the difference between the NVOCC and the freight forwarders. Because freight forwarders can not add any additional percentage of profits to their rates, the NVOCC can be referred to as the intermediate body working between the shipper and the operator of the vessel. The NVOCC issue their bills of lading, but on the other hand, the freight forwarders tend to be authorised agents that work on behalf of the shippers. 

    Commercial Invoice 

    The commercial invoices are equally crucial documentation requir for the companies of freight forwarding services. It includes the trade documentation and acts as the symptom declaration by the one exporting the commodities and goods. The constituents of the commercial invoice are a list of goods, buyers, sellers, signatures and Harmonised system of codes for the commodities.

    It is not just a component for the freight forwarders, but all the customers buying and selling goods all over the globe come across the commercial invoice. A It is the simplest and most common documentation that records the transaction of the goods and the commodities and includes the details of the items. Their prices, and the like. It is the billing that everyone receives after they have performed any transaction that includes buying or selling any goods or commodities. 

    Harmonised System Codes 

    As you have seen in the point mentioned above that we have pointed out one term, the Harmonised System Codes. It might seem like an alien term right now, but do not worry; we will now explain what it is. It is an essential and commonly used term in the field of freight forwarding services. From the name, we can figure out to some extent that the harmonised system code is nothing but a list of codes.

    But to explain it in a broader aspect, we have to say that it is a list of codes with international agreement or acceptance as it was formulat via international agreement. The codes are requir for tariff collection by different countries all over the world. Since this list of codes is internally agre upon, it forms a standard global freight forwarding services system. Commodities or goods have their classification on the basis of function or form. 

    Reefer 

    Reefer is basically an abbreviat term or a commonly us term in the field of freight forwarding services whose full form or the actual form is refrigerat. It refers to the varying of the refrigerated cargo with the use of special intermodal shipping vessels or containers. They are the shops or the shipping containers that are refrigerat and, thus, are  to carry and transport perishable goods over the sea. 

    Port-Centric Logistics

    Port-Centric logistics directory is when the containers are unloaded and palletised at a port instead of transferring to the ultimate destination via intermodal transport. The containers can also be deliver to the port directly in Port-Centric Logistics. It is a concept related to the supply chain.
