During Ramadan, foreigners should arrange the transportation of goods in advance. It is best that the goods arrive at the port of destination around the end of Ramadan, so that they can catch the consumption period of Eid al-Fitr, which is usually the end of Ramadan and the peak of the consumption wave of Muslims.air shipping service

For freight forwarders, the goods sent during Ramadan should remember to book the space in advance, confirm the details of the bill of lading with the customer in advance, and confirm the details of the customs clearance documents and requirements with the customer in advance.air shipping service

In addition, remember to ask the shipping company for a 14-21 days free container period at the time of shipment, and apply for a free container period if some routes allow.

The goods that are not in a hurry can be shipped at the end of Ramadan, because the working hours of government agencies and customs, ports, freight forwarders and other relevant employees during Ramadan are shortened, and the approval and decision of some documents may be delayed until after Ramadan, and the overall time limit is not easy to control, so if conditions are available, try to avoid this time period.

In addition, the working hours during Ramadan have been reduced to half a day, plus they can't eat or drink during the day, dock workers' physical strength is reduced, and the speed of handling goods will be slower. As a result, the handling capacity of the ports of destination and transit has been significantly reduced.

Therefore, during this period of time, the operation time of the port will be much longer, and the situation that the goods cannot be loaded on the second leg will gradually increase. In order to reduce losses, it is recommended to track the dynamics of goods at any time and anywhere to avoid dumping or delaying goods at the transit port, causing unnecessary losses.
