Most importers lose margin on freight rather than on unit price. Consolidation is the single change that fixes it, and it is mostly a scheduling problem.
Start from the container, not the orders
Decide the container size first, then allocate cubic metres per supplier. When you place orders without a volume target, you end up paying LCL rates on cargo that almost filled a 40HQ.
Sequence the deliveries
Ask every factory for a warehouse delivery date rather than an ex-works date, and stagger them within a one-week window.
- One delivery window per supplier, confirmed in writing
- Carton marks and PO numbers agreed before production ends
- Inspection done before goods reach the warehouse, not after loading
- Photo record of every inbound pallet against the packing list
Load plan and documents
We re-palletise where it saves volume, produce a single consolidated packing list and commercial invoice set, and send a loading photo report before the doors close. Your customs broker gets one clean document set instead of five.
