Once cargo are arranged to ship out, that is to say airlines companies or courier companies have readied all documents and arrange air spaces. It is impossible to do the following jobs. Original airway bill of lading and original courier BL will go with cargo flying to destination, the original bill is use for doing customs clearance, if it doesn’t go with cargo, maybe the cargo arrive destination but the original bill of lading doesn’t arrive in time. Consignee cannot finish customs clearance in time, cannot pick up cargo in time. And it needs paying a lot of warehouse charges. In order to solve these problems freight must prepaid.

2.The other freight prepaid is use for international sea freight. Between sea freight shipping one container from Chinese sea port to other sea port in the world, takes very long time and by air. Sea freight cargo and bill are separate. Bill has “original bill of lading” and “telex release”. After cargo leaves from Chinese sea port, shipping company will ask shipper or Chinese freight forwarder confirm the details of BL. After confirming BL information, shipping company provide the details of all charges. After paying all charges to shipping company, they will provide “original bill of lading” or “telex release”. Consignee which is in destination can pick up and finish customs clearance. Freight prepaid after cargo leaving China sea port is no problem.
