Product and packing detail
Prepare a product list showing brand, beverage type, bottle or can size, units per carton, carton count, total litres and alcohol strength. Declare samples separately and show how glass or fragile packages are protected.
Clearance preparation
Discuss the commercial invoice, packing list, BL or AWB, origin information and applicable conformity, permit, excise and stamp requirements. Confirm current requirements with the responsible authority for the specific goods.
Reconcile litres, units and product identity
Beverage shipments need product-level descriptions, container sizes, alcohol strength where relevant and consistent quantities. Sheffield reviews the commercial and packing file so bottles, cases and total litres can be reconciled before the applicable customs and agency preparation. State samples separately from sale stock.
Packing should protect glass and control movement within cartons or pallets. Discuss temperature sensitivity and the receiving appointment with the supplier. Licensing, excise and product-compliance requirements must be confirmed for the actual importer and beverage; no blanket tax rate or automatic release applies to every drink.
