Six areas to consider when discussing your shipment with AMSUN.

Enquiry guide

Build a complete picture.

The topics below help you prepare an enquiry. Specific services, routes, specialist support and third-party involvement are subject to review and agreement for the shipment.

01

Define the movement

Shipment scoping

Identify the stages you need to discuss before requesting a proposal. A port-to-port movement and an arrangement including local collection or delivery have different information needs.

  • Share the origin and destination, including full addresses where relevant.
  • State the collection, main transport and delivery stages you want included.
  • Identify the parties responsible for releasing and receiving the cargo.
02

Consider the transport

Freight options

Air and sea freight requirements can be raised as part of your enquiry. The suitability of a proposed option depends on the cargo, route, availability and timing.

  • Provide dimensions, gross weight and package count for an informed discussion.
  • Explain whether timing, shipment size or another condition drives your decision.
  • Confirm the actual routing, capacity and booking conditions before proceeding.
03

Prepare the cargo

Packing & handling information

A clear description of how the goods will be presented helps identify questions about handling. Special conditions should be disclosed at the start of the conversation.

  • Describe cartons, pallets, crates or other packaging.
  • Highlight loading restrictions, access conditions or equipment needs.
  • Identify any regulated or special-handling cargo for suitability review.
04

Connect the stages

Collection & delivery requirements

Local movements require practical instructions as well as an address. Discuss the handover points and the arrangements needed at each location.

  • Include site contacts and any appointment requirements.
  • Explain who will load, unload and acknowledge receipt.
  • Agree the included stages and any separately arranged services.
05

Organise the information

Documents & shipment instructions

Cargo descriptions and commercial documents should tell a consistent story. Requirements vary with the route, goods and roles of the parties.

  • Identify who will supply invoice, packing and shipping information.
  • Raise questions about required documents before booking.
  • Confirm customs responsibilities and any need for a qualified specialist.
06

Review before proceeding

Quotation & follow-up

A proposal needs to be understood in context. Review the included services and the conditions that may affect the final arrangement.

  • Clarify quotation validity, exclusions and applicable charges.
  • Confirm payment terms, instructions and the scope before booking.
  • Keep shipment references available when requesting updates or raising queries.
