How International Ocean Shipping Works

Once you get a free quote from us, e-mail or call us to Book your shipment.

We will provide you with a Booking Confirmation and which tells you where to deliver your freight (if it's not being picked up), required delivery date, Vessel Name and arrival information. You will need this information when you deliver to the warehouse or when your boxes are picked up.

Pack your boxes well and mark them properly. The last name of your Consignee (the person you designate to pick up your boxes at the CFS at your destination) and the destination city and country must be on every box. It is a good idea to number your boxes 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc.

Before delivering to the warehouse, please complete and submit the Packing List. This information is required for the issuance of a Marine Bill of Lading. We will send you a copy for your records. Please keep in mind that the valued list is what customs will use to determine tax and duties due.

Also, U.S shipments valued more than $2500 USD, will need a Shipper's Export Declaration

Commercial shipments from Canada that are valued more than $2000 CDN require
a B13 Form

Please make sure you have all the required documentation for your shipment before delivering to the warehouse. If you have any questions, please email us: info@uboxworldwide.com

Deliver your boxes under the delivery number you were provided with on your booking confirmation.

We will email an invoice after receiving a dock receipt from the warehouse. The dock receipt will confirm the measurements of your boxes. You can pay with a credit card on our secure online payment page. After payment is received, we will issue a Marine Carrier Bill of Lading, which means your cargo is in the possession of the carrier, either in route to the loading vessel, or in carrier's warehouse awaiting loading. Should the shipment miss the intended vessel, or the vessel is substituted by another, you will be notified and Bill of Lading reissued.

The Bill of Lading will act as a receipt for your goods, an invoice and a contract of carriage between you and the carrier.

You will be required to send your Bill of Lading to the person receiving your goods. They should contact the Delivery Agent listed on the Bill of Lading on or near the scheduled arrival date to arrange for pick-up and customs clearance.
