Tip of the Week


If you need to start shipping or receiving internationally, there are a number of things you need to be concerned with. Some are a matter of simply purchasing the right supplies for the job; large, appropriately marked labels, crush-proof boxes, and plastic wrap for the contents of your shipping. The plastic wrap is especially important because your shipment may be exposed to rain, sea spray, and other weather conditions as goods are unloaded from ships and aircraft in the destination country. You should also take advantage of the helpful information provided by ciffa.com, the Canadian International Freight Forwarder's Association. There you can find help navigating the complicated laws that govern shipping overseas, liability issues, and damage claim regulations.
