With proactive capacity and flexible response, recently, Headway quickly completed customs procedures for a return shipment of pangasius from Santos port, Brazil to Cat Lai port, Vietnam. This is a special frozen shipment, requiring timely and cost-optimized processing capacity at both shipping ports.
Proactive handling – optimizing turnaround time
As soon as the customer discovered a “packaging defect” in a shipment, Headway proactively warned and suggested immediate inspection of the shipments in transit. Thanks to that, another shipment with the same defect was promptly detected.
With fast processing speed, Headway rushed to book a ship within 1 week for the shipment returning from Brazil, 2 times faster than normal progress. This is the optimal time frame for an international return shipment, helping customers minimize container storage costs, refrigeration costs and the risk of quality loss during the implementation process.
In a short time, we quickly completed customs procedures, checked and consulted on return documents right from when the goods started turning around, ensuring a smooth customs clearance schedule, in compliance with legal regulations in Vietnam and the host country.
