Exporting to EU countries by ocean freight?

If you are shipping to European Union countries via ocean freight, the EU's 24 Hour Advance Manifest Rule went into effect on December 31, 2010.  This rule is similar to US Customs rules for importation, it requires that the exporter give information regarding the shipment to the carrier, so that the carrier can can file the information with the EU authorities by the 24-hour deadline. See a graphic of the European Union's import process here.

And the most important aspect to look forward is one pay absolutely nothing if no refund is paid to him. ocean freight rates tends to fluctuate but one must make sure that the value which has been charged on him are genuine and freight bill audit are the best way to find it. Ocean freight management offers cost-effective ocean freight shipping solutions for cargos.
