What Your Shipping Plan Needs to Define
1- Product and Route Review
Tell us what the goods are, how they are packed and where they need to arrive. Initial review identifies what information is needed; it does not approve transport or import.
2- Supplier Handover and Origin Handling
Name the handover point and who brings packed goods there. Collection, receiving or consolidation is assessed and priced only when requested and available.
3- International Transport
For an accepted booking, the quote defines the movement, route, charging basis and operating arrangement. Mode and schedule require shipment-specific confirmation.
4- Documents and Customs Coordination
Confirm who supplies invoices and records, who imports and which filing or brokerage tasks are included. Duties, taxes and permits need an explicit allocation.
5- Destination Handling and Delivery
Define the final receiving point and whether local handling, appointments, unloading or delivery are included. Marketplace requirements are checked for the booking.
6- Booking Scope and Costs
Review an itemised proposal that identifies included tasks, exclusions, charges and payment terms before supplier handover or a shipment booking.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Your Responsibilities and Ours
| Stage | You and Your Supplier Provide | Shipax's Role for the Agreed Service |
|---|---|---|
| Before quoting | Accurate product descriptions, specifications, quantities, packed measurements, supplier and receiving locations | Review the request and identify information needed for a feasible proposal |
| Before handover | Purchase arrangements, suitable packing, invoices and product records; confirm the applicable sale and delivery terms with your supplier | Confirm the booked handover point and tasks assigned to Shipax or an operating partner |
| During import | Identify the importer and provide requested records, permits or authorisations; pay charges assigned to your business | Perform or arrange only the document and customs tasks stated in the quote |
| At destination | Make the recipient available and share warehouse or marketplace receiving instructions | Complete the agreed destination handling and handover to the quoted endpoint |
The commercial terms between you and your supplier can affect who pays for, arranges and bears risk at different handover points. Confirm those terms before booking. See How It Works.
PRODUCT CATEGORIES
Shipping Products That Need the Right Review
General Merchandise
Toys, home goods and other consumer products need accurate descriptions and destination checks. A general-cargo label is not automatic acceptance.
Beauty Products
Share the SKU, formulation, labels, packaging and destination. Some products can also require dangerous-goods review.
Supplements
Provide ingredients, intended use and labelling details so shipment and destination requirements can be assessed.
Dangerous Goods Shipping
Perfumes, some essential oils and battery-powered products need an exact-product review. Classification, safety data, packaging, route and operator acceptance shape any proposal. Do not send goods to a handover point before review.

Questions about Shipping and Import Services
Only if the shipment quote says so. Provide the supplier address and collection details so we can check whether collection is available and include the agreed handover point and cost.
The quote must name the importer and state exactly which customs-related tasks are included. Brokerage, declarations, duties and taxes should not be assumed to be part of a freight price. Customs authorities control clearance decisions.
They require an exact-product review. Provide formulation or battery information, safety documentation where available, packaging and route. Transport classification and operator acceptance determine what can be proposed. Learn About Dangerous Goods Shipping
