 Export Release Process

 Simple Export Release Process

• Customer make booking with Shipping line

• The Shipping line sends the release to the depot

• The depot has the container available for release.

• Truck arrives and the container is released and transported to the packing facility.

 Reality for Food Grade Containers

• Customer make booking with Shipping line

• The Shipping line must confirm they have the units then the release is sent to the depot.

• The depot has to inspect, upgrade and get the box available in time for the truck arrival.

• Truck arrives and the container is released and transported to the packing facility.

 HAMBURG SUD PROCESS
