The
operation is shown below:
1/ Generally shipper’s handover the cargo at our warehouse or at
the airport. If the shipper wants us to transport the goods, only
than we pickup the cargo from shippers premises.
2/ We pickup the documents (accompanying docs) at least 12 hours
before the flight schedule. But we pickup of export documents at
least 48 hours before, if given the responsibility of export custom
clearance.
3/ Export custom clearances takes only about 3-4 hours, if there
are no discrepancies in the documents.
4/ If we keep the cargo in our warehouse we do labeling there.
If we hand over the cargo directly to airlines in then we do labeling
at airport.
5/ The airlines always prefer to takeover the cargo 24 hours
before flight departure to keep in their custody, which airlines
refer to as cooling period. But this timing is not maintained
all the times. Docs and cargo can be handed over to airlines 6/8
hours before of flight departure.
6/ The whole process may take 48 hours, which includes processing
of the doc by customs. After custom clearance, we have to obtain
gate pass from airport security and the Biman authority before
handing over the cargo to carrier and at the same time airlines
check weight and measurement. After completion of the foregoing
formalities the cargo is handed over to airlines.
ULD Loading : Our airport staff load the cargo in bonded area
under
supervision of airline people.
